With election season nearly upon us, fans looking to avoid the inundation of news and subsequent "election stress" can now book to live under a rock with Hotels.com's newest room.
The 'Under a Rock' room features an off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico and guests can sit back and relax since there won't be access to Wi-Fi, cable TV, or daily newspaper services. The company encourages fans to cast their ballot before checking in to avoid the drama and relax in the man-made cave built 50 feet below ground for a five-night stay from November 2–7, 2020.
Political fatigue is real regardless of the year or election,” said Josh Belkin, the VicePresident of Hotels.com. “We’re transforming an age-old idiom into a bookable experience, so individuals can relax, recharge, and recover... because who knows what else 2020 has in store for us.
