DAY 1269 LIVING IN A HOTEL IN MEXICO


Day 1269 (3 YEARS ~ 5 MONTHS ~ 20 DAYS)

LIVING IN A HOTEL

MEXICO



Dan and I have been living in a Hotel since we arrived in Mexico for the past one thousand ~ two hundred and sixty-nine days.  A home says a lot about you by what you place in it and how you decide to decorate it.  I have made our suite our own by adding little touches throughout our temporary home.  We find it less expensive then even renting a house or apartment.   When you rent either one everything is usually separate; like the electric, gas, gardener, maid, cable, phone, etc.  When renting time in a hotel all most everything is included in the amount you pay for the rental.  They provide you with maid service and laundry which is a small fee like about $3.00 to $5.00.


We would not do it any other way than this for it has been very simple and we have been able to be flexible and explore the area around us without worrying about Heckle our turtle. When we are away the maid or workers come in everyday to feed and turn his light on for a small fee.  To me this is priceless for I am able to focus on enjoying our travels without thinking the worst and knowing he is being taken care of.

So if you ever consider visiting Mexico for a while, research the option of staying in a hotel or motel.  About five months ago we moved into another hotel for the same price, with much more; for example, now there are two bedrooms with king size beds along with a lake view of Lake Chapala.  When researching look at all the costs and what you get, for it is amazing the price difference.


We have enjoyed the experience of living in a hotel and also the experiences of using the bus system that is offered to the Mexicans.  This is another option to look for when finding a place to stay if you do not want to own a car in Mexico.   We have been very lucky for the bus picks us up right in front of the hotel.
