Quarantine Hotel ?

[Truth]

I have to do a 7 day stint in Jakarta in a few weeks - few options - any input?

Option 1 - 4 * hotel small room 300 sq feet with a small balcony

Option 2 - 4.5 * hotel 645 sq ft - no opening windows or balcony +$200

Which would be better for my sanity? Anyone have any experience with a week or more quarantine?

The bigger, the nicer the better.

You're not that young anymore.

Roughing it is for poor kids with no money

Balcony, in a heart beat. Fresh air is crucial. Especially for beers and coffee. That's the main thing I look for when I shop for hotel rooms. In cooler climes it's nice to be able to open the slider to get some fresh air.

I would lose my marbles in some vacuum sealed room, even if it was twice the size.

Can you get a bunch of opiates?

That is what I would do.

But if you do, get some kind of fiber supplement and have a lot of beer handy.

Balcony. Always the balcony.

Check the air quality index trends in Jakarta before booking. I prefer fresh air as well
but not if it’s toxic.

The balcony sounds better for the sanity at a glance but a whole week of not leaving a room, I might leave it via the balcony.

I recommend you have some books or something to keep you occupied.

Good luck!

balcony unless the hotel is in super loud area....

I'd like to see what the little room looks like.

I think fresh air is over rated.

Give me ice cold stale air any day.

Yeah that's a good point; what is the A/C status of these rooms?

I would do ice bath training in the tub for health and self regulation issues. I always do when I travel because there is an ice machine nearby in the hotel.

Super cold exposure totally relieves stress because you are relieved to be out of the fucking cold. Then you send up the massage girl.

I got a whole system, guys . . .

I am concerned about this - and not sure if I can afford my daily beer allotment at room service price of $6 per can. However, some (Not naming spots) tubes over Xmas will be waiting on the other side. My kid is doing quarantine alone and she says no problem

 

[silentbutdeadly]

I think I'd punish about 400 beers if I had to quaratine

Hookers n Blow. Highly recommend.

Peeking into the outside world > 300 extra sq ft.

i did 7 days and it’s incredibly boring. got to the point I was sun tanning in the window for 30min when the sun would peek through at the same time every day.

good time to pick up a stimulating project and just run with it. even movies/tv/podcasts get boring around day 3.

I did a week in a negative pressure room followed by another week on a small boat. Balcony for sure, laptop and whatever else keeps you entertained.
