Add up the cost of ownership and maintenance, insurance and registration, and travel costs such as fuel/tolls and site fees, and no one can tell me it's cheaper than a hotel.Especially so now days with most business travel on hold, perhaps permanently. Most hotels sit next to empty and you're going to be seeing a lot of downsizing over the next couple of years. The hospitality industry is toast if you look into current events.
For the cost of a 5th wheel and the truck required to pull it for 2 years we bought 40 secluded wooded acres on a mountainside in VA and built a cabin that would rival a lot of homes.
It might be cheaper if full timing or using it a lot of nights, or you have a 20 yr old run down paid for MH and stay at cheap dumps, but I would doubt it.
No way can it be cheaper for folks who work and get a few weekends or weeks use in a limited 6-7 month season, such as in the Northeast.
