Finding Cheap Motels

Expert Article By: Hugh Goble

Cheap motels for your travels can be easy to find if you know where to look. In every town there are cheap motels that can make the difference between having a vacation or not. Where should you look for these motels? Accommodation costs are a significant chunk of the total vacation expenditure and by staying in cheap motels vacationers can afford to experience more of what a holiday destination has to offer.

Start by talking to friends or business associates who have recently travelled to the area. They may have good suggestions for you, especially if you believe that their budget was similar to what you're prepared to spend. They may not have stayed at cheap motels but they can probably give excellent advice about where you may try. In larger cities they'll almost certainly be able to guide you as to suitable areas in which to find cheap motels.

It?s important to understand that the costs of motel accommodation can vary by the time of year that you plan to travel, and even by the days of the week that you'll be staying. A winter trip to a popular summer destination will be much cheaper than if you made the same trip during the summer months and vice versa.

Weekend trips can often be more expensive than weekday trips to the same motel as well. Where possible try to book your vacation trips during the week, and at the very beginning of the season that the area is particularly known for. Depending on what you plan on doing on your trip, you may want to visit the area completely off season to make sure that you get the best rates possible.

If your friends or business colleagues can't help you with details of cheap motels then you'll need to begin your search for these on your own. The first problem that you'll experience is trying to get the names and contact details of motels in the area you want to visit. Here your best bet is the Internet. Search any of the Search Engines or Directories using something like - cheap motels [followed by the area you want to visit]. Once you have contact details for at least 1 motel in the area make contact with them and request rates for the planned dates of your visit. Even if their rates don't suit you most motels will be glad to give you details of more suitable accommodation based on your needs and budget.

Some motels even have Special Offers specifically for Internet bookings. In order to find cheap motels it's important to plan and book your vacation as early as possible. Even cheap motels will often increase their rates as they begin to book up. The fewer rooms available in a particular area, the more expensive the available ones are going to be. For that reason, as soon as you know that you are going to want to travel to a particular location, and you know the dates of you travels try to go ahead and find a motel and make reservations. That way you can ensure that you are getting the best rate possible for your trip.

Cheap motels are not difficult to locate as long as you're doing your research properly. You should definitely look at all the options available to you so that you can be sure of getting the best accommodation possible for your trip. Remember cheap motels can provide just as many pleasant memories as expensive ones.

Finding Cheap Hotels News

Open Question: Cheapest hotels near Santee (san diego area)?

looking to get a cheap bed to sleep during the week near santee or el cajon. i will be working in santee during the week and commuting for weekends. i am looking for hotels that are not listed in the regular hotel sites. the closer to my area the better. i guess i am looking for seedy motels and just a place to sleep from 9 pm to 7am and a quick shower. i will be going to a gym in the evenings so i will not even technically need the shower since the gym has them. hostels that i saw are all by the beach and overly expensive since i have a car. i am already trying to network on craigslist etc. for other options so you do not have to tell me about that. i guess just tell me where the seedy hotels nearest to santee are. i do not want to get robbed obviously. if i have to reject a couple prostitutes on check in would not bother me. i would not want to get in any altercations. my car has full coverage insurance so the world would not end if it were stolen but i obviously i do not want that to happen. any help much appreciated thanks. i will choose best answer i am looking for a cheap place to crash not looking for prostitutes. my question is straight up no innuendo. scumbags and religious freaks like "im so cool" need not respond. if idiots like him are all san diego has to offer i will just sleep in my car and save 20 to 30 bucks a day. since i can shower at the gym that is my backup plan as opposed to drivin to san ysidro for the 30 a night hotel they have down there. the cheapest hotels are about 50 a night in the area including motel 6. i am just looking for cheaper motels that do not advertise on expedia and usually they are seedy/lowlife/druggy/prositiute hotbeds and i might be able to arrive and make a deal with hotel management to get a bed for 8 hours during low usage times or a 30 a night room.

I have to get from Oregon to KS, Would it cost just as much in gas to get from Oregon to KS (1500 miles via road) I was figuring $5 per gallon of gas and figuring that I might get 15 miles to the gallon, I"ve never had a motorhome before, and it would be a small one, I am thinking of buying one, but when I figured out the gas, it would be like $1000, Am I correct ? It would be cheaper than paying a motel for 2 weeks while I am there, but ???????? how do you figure this ? I am trying to find the cheapest way to get to western KS from So. Oregon USA , but even a bus round trip costs almost as much as a plane ticket. I am not supposed to fly for health reasons.

Open Question: How do I make a new start in life?

I'm close with my family but sometimes it doesn't feel enough. When I dropped out of high school (a lot of mental issues... little better now) I took a job with my dad to work in the Janitorial Service cleaning 2 day care schools every night. Up until now, my dad got fired (poor attendance, now they're shutting down and that's not my dad's primary job. He has a day job) and now I don't feel like I have to be there to help my dad because he's not doing a lot of work no more; I'm glad I worked there, it taught me the true meaning of hard work and I got to help my father and keep his stress down. I'm 20 years old, unemployed and can't even get a interview at Mcdonalds or Taco Bell (no ones hiring in the small city of Salinas). Other then my family, I have nothing here for me; no friends, no social life, no lovers or a dollar with my name. I just want more in life. I was thinking of heading down south like somewhere in L.A. (near Hollywood) and make a new start. Sounds dumb but I want an experience in life and to feel independent. I'm sick and tired of living the same day-to-day routines: wake up in the morning, watch tv, apply for jobs that you know you're one of many and so on. How can you line up a job before leaving? Can a dishwasher salary pay rent at a motel? I mean it's not like I'm dumb, I do have a few talents but I think if I play my cards right and bet on a few chances, I can make a new start and do something with my life. Maybe I'm all talk right now, but sometimes it feels like I'm going to explode and lose it; do something stupid that'll ruin my life. I don't do drugs and never will. My brother did and it messed up his life. Now he lives on the street. Sometimes, I feel like that going to be me in 5 years if I don't depart ways. What should I do? I'm close with my mom and dad and it would break my heart to do anything that would upset them. I'll be 21 next month. Don't know if that's relevant or not.

Open Question: Boyfriend wants to get a cheap motel room? Lowering my standards?

My boyfriend wants to get a motel room to save money. I just don't agree with it. It makes me feel like an escort. He lives at home and so do I. Would you get a motel (not hotel) room? He's 36. He could at least put us in a decent hotel room. We do get rooms every other weekend though.

Open Question: I need help identifying a movie's name?

Ok it's a pretty old movie and saw it about 15 years ago. The movie's storyline is in a motel, there are group of people there and people get killed by unknown killer one by one. They know that the killer is among them, but don't know who it is. So there's a detective among the group, so he interrogates everyone one by one, by going to their room one by one. However, even though the detective interrrogates them, people still get killed. And by the end of the movie, it turns out that the detective was the killer, because he was the only one who was able to go in each one's room freely. Now I have no idea when the movie came out, and who was in it. But it kinda sounds like one of Agatha Christie's novel or something like that. Can anyone help me find out the name of the movie?
