Portable Hotel


Now why didn't I think of that?

Are you going someplace that does not have a hotel? Why not bring one with you?

For a weekend rental for about $8,000 you can have an 11 room hotel arrive by 18-wheeler truck. Detach the cab and press a single button on a hand held remote control and watch a 30 minute transformer like system unfold your hotel. This system can be set up just about anyplace.

A Spanish company is making the HotelMovil. The 11 room unit sells for half a million. I wonder if somebody will buy a dozen of these and have them available for county fairs, hotel construction or remodel sites, or for almost any special event when the local hotels and motels are all sold out.

I think this is a really good idea.
