Being a hotel does not make it immune from problems. I have had rooms where the hot water went cold. Where the hotel's sewer lines have clogged and they had to tell everyone to hold off using the facilities until the line was snaked. I have had rooms where the AC was louder than a jumbo jet, where outlets didn't work, where the wifi was terrible and the Television picture snowy. During storms the power has gone out. I had to change rooms occasionally because of problems, and sometimes I just had to live with it.
It's more the idea of the negative signs than what's prohibited...we keep to ourselves anyway. It sets the tone for your stay. I have read on rvparkreviews where people complain about cg owners driving by on their golf carts peering into campers' sites watching them etc. Also have had the experience a few times of not being able to use the sewer on a full hook up site for one reason or another or having no water available on same. Can you imagine checking into a Holiday Inn Express and not being able to use the bathroom?
It has made me rethink whether we want to continue camping and just use cabins/motel rooms instead, but the thought of sleeping in other people's beds stops me short of that!
If you are fed up with RVing, give it up. There is nothing or no one forcing you to do anything you don't want to do. But to say you are giving up RVing because parks have problems is like saying you are going to stop flying because the food is terrible and the seats are too close together. It might very well be a valid reason in your mind, but it is also never going to change.
