Some hospitals also offer lodgings in some wings. Willtravel,you are saying a truth. I know several people with above average incomes who stay at a hospital in Paris. No details but it must curtail your hours on the town.

Christina,
One of the biggest myth's about people who might have a nice income is that they view every dollar they have as disposable income. Some people have the money they do because they are frugal, and still look for a great bargain such as a monasterie that might make for an interesting place to stay .
I used to work for a woman who was married to a Billionaire. Yes, a billionaire who is in the top 100 on the Forbes 400. He used to come by our office wearing an old Army fatigue jacket and jeans. After visiting some clients in Connecticut, I once dropped her off at the Avis location in Greenwich so that she and her husband would have a car for the weekend. She even rented a mid-size.
