Finding a Budget New York Hotel Room
New York real estate is expensive, so it stands to reason hotel rooms cost a lot, too. But there are plenty of budget hotel options for every income and every taste. Here are some examples at three different levels of comfort.

Budget Home Stays
Don't let high-priced hotels destroy your travel budget. Consider swapping your home for someone else's place, or renting a home as you would a hotel room. It could lower your travel costs.

Wi-Fi On the Road
Innkeepers know their customers love to have in-room Internet connections and even wireless fidelity (wi-fi) services. But how much will you be paying for the privilege? Travelers are finding ways to avoid paying big charges for these services.

Alternatives to the Cheap Hotel Stay
You know how to find cheap hotel stays, but do you know there are unusual places where budget lodging could be more fun? Check out some alternative accommodations where your money can buy an experience as well as a good budget choice.

The Search for a Downtown Bargain
In this time of $300 basic downtown hotel rooms, is it possible to find a centrally located place to stay for $100 or less? The following experiment shows that in many cases, the answer is still affirmative for budget travelers willing to put in a little work with a search engine.
