There are many ways to find accommodations. You know about the traditional method of finding a hotel and paying the rack rate for a room. You might not know about some of the other ways budget travelers go about finding lodging. Take a look at
10 types of accommodations for the budget traveler. Some you might already have tried. Others are waiting to be tried and adopted into your next itinerary.
Here’s another deal that you should definitely check out — Miami’s 443……. Basically Miami’s on sale and EVERYTHING is buy 3, get one FREE. The website is miami443.com!!!” I got a four-night stay at the Mayfair Hotel and Spa in Coconut Grove for the price of three.
Don’t forget the value-added options of staying at a bed & breakfast. A wonderful home-cooked breakfast that lasts most of the day, unique and peaceful settings and a homey atmosphere.
Another fabulous way to get a place to stay is by dog-sitting or cat-sitting.
I got a free stay in NYC that way (friend of a friend) and someimes it can be local but a really nice house that makes you feel like you are in a hotel . . . with the added perk of a pet!
Just plain house-sitting would do it too!
