I enjoyed this! It's the first time I recall reading an article about travel that obsessed over the local neighborhood of the hotel (including the hotel itself) rather than jetting here and there across the wider city.

I find so many delights in becoming familiar with a single building and its surrounding mere few blocks, with their quirks, people, shops, and eateries, than to hop around all of the busy "top" attractions. This has huge benefits if you tend to visit smaller cities too, as you are less likely to get bored if you engage in tourism "in the small" and don't need or want large attractions or spectaculars to satisfy you.

Being autistic and generally obsessed about the details of things rather than the big picture may have a huge role in my thinking, though. Clearly the majority do want to hit all of the attractions, and that's okay! :-)

Only vaguely related, John Carmack also seemed to make a habit of going on work-trips to hotels. You can read about it in his famous .plan files. He would drag a workstation to a hotel a reasonable distance from home and work for a weekend or an entire week without distraction.
