Booking Hotels on a Budget
Filed in archive Hotels/Resorts by Greg Cruey on November 24, 2008
Few things feel better than staying in a four star hotel at a two star price.

AP Travel Editor Beth J. Harpaz has a good piece online on how to book hotels on a budget. Some of her tips are obvious - but easy to forget when you start planning a few days away from home. For example:


  • It's generally cheaper to stay in major cities on weekends because the business travellers have all gone home.

  • It a lot cheaper to visit popular spots (she uses Miami Beach) during down times than during peak holidays. You can stay the whole first week of December for the price of a single night between Christmas and New Years Eve.

  • During hard economic times it pays to look for good deals - because the resorts are hurting too.

Those are just a few of her ideas. You can read the whole article here.
