All hotels are surrogates for home

“All hotels are surrogates for home, some of them more luxurious, some of them less. Even the lowly ones we cherish, because in a place where all our senses are stretched — a new city, a foreign land — they make it OK to fall unconscious. They conquer the alien with the intimacy of a bed. Staying in a hotel is as close as we get to returning to the womb.”
–Thomas Swick, “The place you could be looking for”, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, June 6, 2004
