Would you retired in a retirement or a motel?

I read a very interesting a article while I standing in line at the lucky store couple days ago. This couple is now in their 80s has been living in the travelodge motel for the past 20 years instead living in a retirement home. IT cost them about $25 a day and about 175 per week. They said they don't have any utilities and they can use all air conditioner and heat they wanted to. No worry about clean up, the room service did it for them.
