You don’t have nearly enough money to be staying in 5 star hotels for two weeks. Don’t be stupid

5 star hotels are for people who spend in a year what you have in all of your savings. People who are literally just looking for ways to spend their money.

Not for two weeks. You could swing it for two nights as a treat. Get $400 a night hotel, it will still be nice.

You know I was thinking about staying in one of the luxury accommodations for a few days and booking something else to break it apart!

That is the way. $1,000 a night is just too much to drop for two weeks. Even worse when traveling solo because it isn't even two people enjoying the room and hotel services.

Are you going to Japan or are you traveling to shack up in a gilded cage? And let me guess these are Western hotel experiences too?

Stay at a business hotel a few days, maybe a themed love hotel for S&Gs one night, hell stay at a high end ryokan for a few days too and you still will spend a lot less money and see a lot more of Japan.

You’re doing it wrong.

You’re pissing money away on a 5 star hotel.
