7. Sometimes, all you really need from a hotel is
a hot shower and a good night's rest. That's
why, our limited service hotels offer beds at
very affordable prices by getting rid of costly
full service extras (pools, spas, saunas, room
service or the like) that you just don't need
and shouldn't have to pay for.
Pay for what you use concept
