I can’t see myself going to a hotel for Pesach (even if I had the money, which I don’t). For me, Pesach is all about spending it with family at home (or at a relative’s home). I just can’t see making a Seder in a hotel dining room.
That being said, I understand that that’s just my preference. Other people may have different sensibilities than I do and I do not begrudge anyone actually does go away for Pesach (whether because they feel they need it or just want it).
And for those who rant about all the money spent, keep in mind that this is the primary parnassah for many people. If you were to ban it for all (or even for all but the elderly, infirm, etc.), then you’d be causing a major loss of parnassah for a lot of people.
