I hate bed and breakfasts

I hate small country inns. I'd rather stay at a Motel 6.
I know I must be in a small minority of one. But quaint B&Bs and small country inns give me the absolute creeps.
1. I'm not in love with chintz. And in these places, for the most part, everything is chintz. Everything is too precious, too Laura Ashley. Makes me uncomfortable. I truly despise quaint.
2. There is no sense of privacy. You are basically living in the house of some strangers. They look at you funny. They wonder if you are going to smoke crack on their beds and set them on fire or leave your chewing gum or snot under it.
3. Everybody feels compelled to whisper at all hours. As if not to disturb the corpse in the next room?
4. You have to meet other strangers for breakfast. Eew.
Give me an anonymous, clean motel any day. Or, if you can afford it, a fabulous luxury resort. That, I could love.
