A Texas man says he plans to spend his golden years in a Holiday Inn because it's cheaper than a nursing home.

"No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a Holiday Inn!" Terry Robison wrote on Facebook in a post that's gone viral.

Robison says the average cost for nursing home care costs $188 per day, compared to just $59.23 for a long-term stay with a senior discount for him and his wife. Plus, breakfast is included and some Holiday Inns have happy hours in the afternoon.

"That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies," Robison said. "Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc."

Robison added that living in the hotel would also mean free soap, shampoo and toothpaste, plus staff that may be eager for a service tip: "They treat you like a customer, not a patient." The hotel chain also offers maintenance, security, and easy access to transportation, which he says outweighs any medical concerns.

"The maid checks to see if you are ok. If not, they'll call an ambulance . . . Or the undertaker," Robison joked.
