As far as finding great deals on hotels, there are several routes you can take. You can use an online third party source, such as Expedia.com or Travelocity.com. Often these sites can get rates lower than any others you can find regardless of the service you use. Another option is booking with the hotel directly, which can have several perks of it's own, and quite often if there are hotel reward points involved in the stay, booking directly with the hotel is the only way to earn those points. Lastly, booking can be done directly with a travel agent. A travel agent is someone who has special rates with a specific hotel, or management chain. While the hotel choices may be limiting when booking with a travel agent, the advice they can provide on places to visit and things to see can be priceless.

Below you will find a selection of affordable hotels, hostels and other accommodation options that have been recommended by reputable travel sources.

• With certain perks only being available via booking directly through hotels, the first place to look online would be directly with the hotel chains at their website, or by calling them.
