I find this discussion to be quite interesting. I would not like to add my opinions on the matter (if mods are allowed to do that):
1. I have yet to spend Pesach at a hotel, not to I want to. Imagine the yetzer hara for a person making a meal for 10 people to “justify” the use of a questionable ingredient due to the setback of disposing of the food. Then change the equation for a meal of 500.
2. I am enjoying this back and forth quite a lot, however, there is one point I do want to shoot down. Some of you are claiming that it is not in the spirit of Pesach to spend it in a hotel (referring here as a guest. (A previous poster made a nice point about being hotel staff). Pesach is a holiday where we are supposed to act like kings. We recline, we even have others pour our bechers, as we should not do it ourself (derech cheyrus).
I definitely hear the argument that going to a hotel with choshuva speakers giving insightful shiurim while being catered to the entire time is derech cheyrus and being treated like a king. In fact, I find it weird that people try to argue this point. How is being at home more derech cheyrus and being treated more kingly?
