Unpopular opinion: I think the 'skip the hotel' advice is actually costing people money
I mean, I was looking at a trip to Denver and found out a hostel bed was $45 a night, but a basic motel split three ways was only $28 per person. Everyone says hostels are cheaper, but that's not always true if you're not solo. Has anyone else found a better deal on a regular hotel room?

But hostels have free breakfast and social perks...

Ever notice how a lot of common money advice is just repeated without anyone checking the math? I see it with meal kits versus groceries too, people just assume one is always cheaper. You have to run the actual numbers for your own situation.

@avery_flores that hit home for me too, I've been burned by taking advice at face value.

Yeah, the "run the actual numbers" part is so true, I saw a breakdown that proved meal kits can win for singles.
