It’s nothing fancy, which is perfect

THANKS to Jane Engle for trying to bring some sanity to the cost of rooms [“Neither Motel 6 nor the Ritz, These Hotels Meet You Halfway,” Travel Insider, March 12] .

We do not have unlimited funds and would rather eat well and sightsee than squander money on a fancy hotel room.

We use affinity cards and join the various chains to accrue points and get better treatment at check-in and perhaps even on room prices.
