That's what I did on my recent 6 week trip. As long as you can get a cell signal it works just fine. I surfed the net, researched attractions and made reservations, paid utility bills for home, checked email, checked bank accounts and did all of the other normal internet useage. You could even set up a bluetooth/wireless printer if you needed it. Also, a USB to HDMI cable would allow TV useage thru your cell phone. Most (if not all) newer TV's have HDMI input.
A cable will cost 15-20 bucks. There is no extra "hotspsot" charge, no fancy equipment to buy and set up. It just works. And, as I understand it and have been told, no extra worries about security because your cell line is yours alone. If you use your phone for internet use at home with no worries you shouldn't need to worry about using it in some park somewhere.

This is also what I have done for years. I tether my laptop to my last 2 phones (Lg and samsung) and hdmi to my tv. I have used this at our cabin, at campgrounds, and at home when our HughesNet (old service) or Xfinity (current service) is slow or out. No extra fees using my unlimited data from our phone plan. The internet is spotty at our cabin even with a cell roof ant. and inside booster but works early or late in the day.
