How to Have a Staycation at a "Hotel"

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Choose a nice and clean room to stay in for your "visit".

   Here are a few ways the room could be decorated to look like a hotel room:
   Get some professional-looking wallpaper to put on your wall.
   
   Simple floral designs are nice.
   
   Have the room painted a classy colour like brown, black, white/cream, or beige.
   
   Buy a pretty and simple lamp.
   
   Try to make your closet as much like a walk-in closet as possible.
   
   See if you can get a T.V. in your room just for the nights you are "staying" at the "hotel".

   Step 2: Have high-speed Internet available in your room.

   This is obviously a waste if there is no computer or laptop in your room (or house), but almost all of the hotels, even the cheap bug-infested motels, have high-speed Internet access. , Many hotels have restaurants, especially for breakfast. , This is only for when the weather is nice.
   
   If you can, get an in-ground pool in your backyard if you don't already have one.
   
   If you can't, then go to a local pool/the nearest pool to your house or, at the very least, wade around in a kiddie pool. , Many hotels give you the option to rent a movie for a small fee.
   
   So it's better if you go and rent or buy a movie that you've never seen before from a movie store like Best Buy.
   
   You can also watch a movie from a program like Netflix or Rogers On Demand. , Have fun and be creative!
