For about US$50, a cheap, acceptable hotel room can be found in most countries. In some countries, you may
even be able to pay less. If you are traveling on a tight budget, another option is a boarding house. They are
normally found in abundance near bus and railway stations. In some towns with a high number of tourists, it is
common for families to rent rooms to visitors. Both these options are difficult to book in advance. However you
can easily find out about them at the local bus or railway station when you arrive at your destination, if you are
not immediately inundated with offers the minute you step off your bus. Although traveling this way does not
provide the security of knowing exactly where you will next spend the night, it does have the advantage of giving
you an experience with the local culture that most motels and hotels cannot provide.
Good inexpensive hotels can be found in most cities away from the airport, tourist areas, and central business
districts. There are often great seasonal variations in hotel prices at resorts. Remember, cheaper hotels do not
always supply soap, towels, and toilet paper, so carry these items with you. By going online, it’s a simple matter
to find a hotel within your price range in practically any city in the world. Most sites also include customer
reviews, an especially important feature when booking budget-priced accommodations. In addition, most hotels
and motels offer discounts to travelers making their reservations online.
