Hotel: Your bed is made up for you daily. The hotel bed is experienced. Hundreds if not thousands of others have slept on and used the same hotel bed. Home Exchange: You make up your own bed - Do your own cleaning too! The bed with a home swap usually has had only one or two others that have ever used it. Definitely inexperienced. 4 Hotel: Cozy. You get to see everyone in your room at all times. You can even watch them sleep. Home Exchange: Homes often have multi rooms along with yards. You have to search to find where people are. 3. Hotels Definitely not boring. Can't sleep! no problem. You can hear arguments and partiers in the hallway or from the rooms beside you. Beds squeak from rooms above. You know others are there. Home Exchange - like your house at home, you just sleep. 2. Hotel meals: you have dining choices, meals can even be brought to your room. No dishes. They clean them for you. Home Exchange: You can have choices, however many meals are usually made at home in the kitchen or on the patio barbeque. The home exchanger gets to clean their own dishes and put them away too. 1. Hotels. Everything's conveniently outlined on one neatly printed bill. You see your costs straightway, room charges, parking charges, surcharges, room service, phone calls, and taxes. They even take the money out of your credit card. No need to worry about left over moeney after your vacation. Home Exchange Pity the unfortunate home exchanger - They don't get a bill. Instead they have to go through the stress of deciding where to spend the money that they didn't shell out to a hotel. No taxes no surcharges no parking fees... This could be hundreds or even thousands of dollars extra that they now have in their wallets. If you are looking for a hotel, there are lots of reservation services out there.
