I travel for work 6 months or so out of the year and your experiences are definitely not representative of mine.

"between resort fees, $30/day slow wifi, rooms that look nothing like the pics" This is 100% because you are staying in "luxury" hotels. Less expensive hotels don't have any of these.

I feel like that entirely depends on where you're traveling to. NYC or SF that feels highly normal even in "cheap" hotels.
