Another point people don’t bring up: NOT ALL PEOPLE WHO GO TO HOTELS ARE GVIRIM.
You don’t believe me, but it’s true- I know because I’m one of them.
People don’t only go to Florida or Cancun with every single singer there and prime rib every night, and even those who do don’t necessarily go because they’re too lazy to make their own Pesach.
My family goes to a hotel for part of Pesach. It is not at all fancy- on a scale of one to ten, it’d average about a 3 or 4. It’s a wonderful place to be, the food’s great, it has nice grounds, but it’s NOT “Pesach in Hawaii!!!” in the least. We also don’t pay for it- my grandparents do, as the yearly family reunion in the one place where we can all fit at once without tripping over each other.
The point is, if someone came over to my dad and was like, “Hey, I hear you’re going to a hotel, why are you paying for a gashmiyusdikke fake Pesach experience instead of giving me ten thousand dollars for aniyim?”, then a) he wouldn’t HAVE the ten thou and b) believe it or not, you can have just as much of a fun, authentic, spirited, spiritual and amazing Pesach in a hotel as you can at home. And I know that bcause the rest of my Pesach IS spent at home.
This may sound like a random, apologist rant, but I’m detecting somewhat of a disdain toward people who go to hotels in the above comments, and I don’t think it’s necessarily justified. And it doesn’t matter if the person you know is going to Pesach in the Local Motel or Pesach in Italy- being dan lekaf zechus, or better yet getting rid of some of the negative opinions about hotels, and just remember that wherever you are, it’s a real, sincere, fantastic PESACH.
