"Worth-It?"
Worth is an objective ideal.
Is a Five Star + hotel room, at $300-$500 (or more), really ten times better than two hour stay in a room at some chain ending in Palace or Inn?
Is a meal at Brennen's really $150 better than the Sunday Buffet at Golden Corral?
I could make other examples: The answer is always both "yes" and "no" depending . . . .
If you want a Brennen's level Hobby experience, you must book with a carefully researched HDH—and pay. If you want the Golden Coral experience, hit the SW buffet.
