Myself, wife, and most of both of our whole families find all hotels lifeless and impersonal and uninteresting. Sure nice ones are nicer than bad ones, and it's fun to do that once in a while just as an experience, but generally the nicest hotel with impeccable staff isn't prefferable to a cozy appartment even if it has a few problems.
The dice roll is way better. Even the bad ones once in a while are at least different and fun to mock.
It's funny how almost the whole families have the same gut response to stuff like that. Look at something and what is the most immediate natural reaction to an idea or the look of a thing. And some other family might all have the same some other natural reaction.
Like one person finds gold attractive and another finds it gawdy, and so do their whole family & friends groups.
For me, hotels are only good for work. That's the only time the predictability matters. I avoid scheduling as much as possible on vacation. There are events of course but I don't try to tetris pack the days.
But for a few days or a week at a customer, then a hotel just something I need like a highway rest stop bathroom.
