We live in the real world too you know, and we're not so naive to think you can live within a capitalist society without using money. ...
Even in a Anarchist society things won't just be free, that's a big misconception.

There are LOTS of alternatives, to pretend there are none is shameful !

What entry fees? The money is for food and board, that's it. It's your choice whether you want to use that service they offer, so I see nothing wrong with it. A commercial hotel is not going to take your home grown vegetables in exchange for a room. Bartering is fine and dandy but this is the real world.

You say sleeping in a car. To me owning a car is more destructive than being asked to pay the going rate for lodgings and food. By owning a car you are directly contributing to war, capitalism, oppression, exploitation, pollution. Is that along Anarchist traditions? How's you thumb? Need some tips?
Th service the are offering has to come from somewhere, and bartering is cool, but try finding a hotel that will do that. Try finding a store that will let you barter for food. You've got to be practical.
