If the concept that a hotel room is meant for a short, comfortable stay in clean and safe settings, but without trimmings is acceptable, New York has several low priced facilities available. They are sometimes labeled as inns or hostels.

These so called ‘cheap’ hotels offer basic amenities like concierge, AC, TV, non smoking rooms, in room alarm clock, hairdryer, laundry, iron and ironing board, safe deposit box, shared bathrooms and parking at cost. Some have maid service, room service and even

disabled facilities. Many may not have in house restaurants, but there are always restaurants close by.

If you are on a limited budget tour to Florida and do not want to settle for a sleazy motel which rents room at dirt cheap rates but is situated at a downtown part of the city, then discount hotels are your next best option.

With the option of discount hotels you can get rooms for as low as $50 per night even on a twin sharing basis. Some of the high end hotels situated in the posh areas of the city also offer huge discounts. If you are lucky enough then some of the discounts can even go up to as much as 70% of the regular rates. However, these discount offers are at their best during the off seasons, when there are not that many tourists in the cities.
