I do a fair amount of traveling during the warm months to medieval festivals and events like Blackstone Raids and Pennsic War, and sometimes it is just easier to stay in a nearby hotel for the smaller events, esp. the ones held in early spring or late fall (not to mention the ability to take a hot shower).
But I actually prefer camping, because my tent is a 16x16 medieval canvas pavilion made by Panther Primitives. It has a 12 foot high center peak with 7 foot high corner poles. I drop a plastic ground cloth, followed by a thick canvas tarp, and finish with a large 8x10 area rug for a warm, dry floor. My bed is made from medieval designs - a wooden frame with mortise/tenon connections, and held together by rope that is woven thru holes in the frame both side-to-side and end-to-end. A thick foam mattress goes on top, followed by heavy blankets and large pillows.
A wooden folding slat table goes in one corner, along with a Viking style two-piece slat chair. Lighting is by candle lanterns that hang from hooks on the center pole or by a modern camp lantern in emergencies. Celtic tapestries adorn the walls, hanging from an interior "curtain" rope. These tapestries eliminate the shadow effect from interior lighting, so no one standing outside can watch the shadowplay and see what I'm doing, and they dress up the interior beautifully. Everything is designed to be taken apart or rolled up for easy transport. It's roomy, airy, and there is nothing quite like camping in a medievally period pavilion.

NO! I hate to stay in a hotel. I love my own bed with my own pillows and blankets. I have the most comfortable bed ever so why would I enjoy sleeping in another bed? I do like to travel but that is the only part about it that I don't like.

Hmm, it all depends on the hotel. I prefer a room with some semblance of a nice view, a mini-bar, movies, and 24 room service. Oh yes, a guest gym and a pool is a must.
However, I still bring my own sleeping bag and put it over the duvet.

Yes, but only good, quality hotels. No Super 8 or Red Roof.

Yes, but only because if I'm staying in a hotel it's because I'm out of town and on vacation. Yay!

Yes, I get the best sleep in hotels. I can't sleep in my own house.
