Alaizyah Stays

Stay. Learn. Dream Bigger.

I'm Alaizyah. I love hotels, traveling, and sharing what I think about the places I stay. Now I have a much bigger goal: experience as many kinds of hotels as I can while working toward owning one of my own someday.

Start here

Latest video

The first Alaizyah Stays video is coming soon.

Alaizyah is getting ready to start documenting stays — hotels, resorts, motels and everything in between.

Free to vote

Where should Alaizyah stay next?

The next destination vote is coming soon.

Before each trip is booked, a free poll opens here so the audience can help choose what kind of place is next.

Voting is always free. Contributing money never grants extra votes.

The reviews

Latest stay

Our first stay review is coming soon.

Branded hotels, independents, motels, resorts, extended-stay properties, boutiques, airport hotels and the genuinely strange ones. Rated honestly, published only after departure.

What this project actually is

1 · Stay

Branded hotels, independents, motels, resorts, extended-stay properties, boutiques, airport hotels, luxury properties and the genuinely strange ones. Every category, not just the pretty ones.

2 · Learn

What she liked, what she would change, and what a place gets right that others miss. Every stay is scored on the same categories — and the ones that do not apply are switched off rather than marked down.

3 · Dream bigger

Every review ends with the question that matters to a future owner: would I own one of these? That is what all of this is practice for.

More about the project

The big goal

What if millions of people each helped a little?

Could millions of small contributions eventually help Alaizyah buy, renovate, and operate her first hotel?

It is an experiment, and it might not work. What is certain is that every dollar in this fund is counted in the totals published on the funds page, is kept completely separate from the money that supports Alaizyah Stays travel and content, and is reserved for the hotel ownership project — finding and evaluating a property, acquiring and financing it, renovating, furnishing, preparing and opening it.

Progress is measured in milestones rather than in a percentage, because the first thousand dollars matters far more than the fraction of ten million it represents.

Two funds, kept completely separate

Two funds, two separate ledgers, and no transfers between them. The Stay Fund supports Alaizyah Stays travel and content; the Hotel Fund supports the long-term hotel ownership and acquisition project.

If you want to help

Completely optional, and the content stays free either way. Watching, sharing and voting help too — and those are free. If you do want to contribute, pick the fund you want to support; they are never mixed.

Support is voluntary, is not a charitable donation, and conveys no ownership interest, no repayment and no profit participation. Full disclosures.
