Like almost everything in life, don’t knock it till you tried it! i haven’t tried it, but i feel it’s one of those things there is no right or wrong, what’s good for one might not be good for another, and we shouldn’t knock ppl that do go to hotels.
on a side note (i know no one was doing it here) i once saw in a sefer that a lot of times the avaroh of losh hara is worse then the avera done by the guy we’re knocking, something to think about.
