Let's talk about the environment first. Parents are old, and many of them sleep very lightly, so it is best to choose a quiet and soundproof environment when booking accommodation. In this way, after a hard day's work, we can have a better rest and save our strength to enjoy the next day's trip.
Then talk about daily life. This includes washing clothes and eating. I made a mistake when I went out to travel and booked a hotel this year. The clothes washed every day have no place to hang, or even hang. Every day, several clothes are hung on the handle of the window together, and they haven't dried for several days. Therefore, when booking a hotel, we must first determine whether it is convenient to wash clothes and whether there is a place to hang clothes. And eating. Many parents, accustomed to thrift, travel abroad is as frugal as ever. Of course, some parents want to cook by themselves because they are not used to local food. This requirement can only be met by homestays.
Then there is traffic. Traveling with parents is similar to traveling with children. It's best to choose hotels with convenient transportation around, and it's best to have buses that go directly to various scenic spots, and don't be too far away from various scenic spots. Of course, if you drive or take a taxi every time you travel, then ignore it. Especially if you're going to Beijing, it's really super big. I used to live in the Fifth Ring Road when I went to Beijing to play, so you must not live too far away. It is best to live within the Third Ring Road.
Finally, the cost performance is high. Parents of ordinary families attach great importance to price. For them, this is just a place to sleep, and there is no need for fancy. As long as the price is right, they are satisfied.
To sum up, my personal recommendation is that it is most appropriate to travel with my parents and book a homestay. In fact, more and more people choose to live in homestays when traveling, which is especially suitable for family travel. Choosing a favorite homestay can basically meet all the above requirements. Of course, if you don't want to stay in a homestay, there are many cost-effective hotel chains to choose from.
