A Texas man says he has no intention of checking into a nursing home during his golden years and is planning on moving into a Holiday Inn instead.

Terry Robison, 64, who is listed as a producer/director at Scarlet Tye Films, shared his novel thought about retirement in a now viral Facebook post.

'No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a Holiday Inn!' he begins, referring to himself and wife Renee Wilson Robison, both of Spring, Texas.

Robison seems to have given the idea some careful thought and lists the benefits of Holiday Inn living in his Facebook post that has gone viral

Robison has done the math and says staying in a Holiday Inn is much cheaper than checking into a nursing home.

'With the average cost for a nursing home care costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and too feeble.

'I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's $59.23 per night.'

With breakfast included and happy hours for the taking, Robison works out that the extra $128.77 he would be spending on a nursing home could be put to better use eating in which ever restaurant they want, or on 'room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies.'

It looks like there's no shortage of leisure options either with Robison seemingly keen on taking advantage of the Holiday Inn spa, swimming pool and a workout room.

No need to splash out on hygiene products either.

'Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap.'

Robison suggests $5 a day worth of tips would be a good idea to ensure the staff scrambles to help.

Robison points out room service is carried out daily and if the TV breaks or a light bulb needs changing, everything is fixed free of charge

'They treat you like a customer, not a patient,' Robison adds.

He reassures there will no need for any DIY, it's all catered for.

'TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem... They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience,' he says.

If you get bored Robison suggests taking the airport shuttle buses to eat in a restaurant there or better still, 'fly somewhere, otherwise the cash keeps building up,' Robison says.

If you want to 'meet other nice people,' call a church bus on Sundays, he advises.

If you've still got itchy feet, he advises moving from inn to inn.

'Want to see Hawaii ? They have Holiday Inn there too,' he posts.

As for feeling safe, Robison reminds his readers that Holiday Inn 'has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks to see if you are OK.'

Robison (pictured above)thinks family members will be more likely to visit than if you were in a nursing home and the 'grand-kids can use the pool'

'If not, they'll call an ambulance . . . Or the undertaker. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.'

He also thinks family members will be more likely to visit than if you were in a nursing home with scope for mini vacations and the 'grand-kids can use the pool.'

Robison seems stoked about the idea finishing his post with the line.

'What more could I ask for? So, when I reach that golden age, I'll face it with a grin.'

'We look forward to checking Mr. Robison in when he reaches his 'golden age.' Although he did miss one big benefit in his long list of reasons to stay with us – kids eat for free at Holiday Inn. So that's another excuse for the grandkids to come and visit,' Vice President Holiday Inn, Errol Williams, told DailyMail.com.
