Cheap Motel/hotel Rooms - How To Get

In India you can get a good room in the range of $10-20 depending upon your preferences. A room in a 3 star hotel in almost all cities of tourists' interest is available for $30-40 and 4 star from $50 onward. However if you are not fussy at where you stay overnight, you can get a room as cheap as at $7-10 in almost any city. However, in Australia especially Sydney where I currently live hotels and other rental properties are perhaps the costliest I have seen anywhere in the world.

 

Cheap maybe one thing but you want safe and clean. You can either book early to get a sale deal or late to get a last minute deal, but I think $40 is fine. It depends on what day you are staying and whether there is anything else happening such as an event nearby. Often if you stay a few days they can reduce the daily rate, but you have to ring and haggle or email ahead. Places out of season rent weekly for a fraction of the price, so it all depends on where you are going and how long you are going to stay.

 

Rooms can be expensive sometimes, but it depends with the location, country, length of stay, among other factors. If the motel is secured with electric fence, availability of security officers, privacy, good customer care, with no doubt prices must skyrocket. I have seen few places where bargaining is allowed, but why should you go to a place that is beyond your means? Unless if it is an emergency and you are in a place where there are no cheap motels.

 

When we travel, we always buy plane tickets in advance like 6 months. That gives us a lot of time to look for bargains for accommodations. Online booking sites have the standard 10% discount for advanced booking and sometimes they give more depending on the season. I am right now in South Korea for a vacation and we got a good discount in Tmark hotel for the early booking. Our room was also upgraded aside from the early check in granted to us.
