I have stayed in some cheap hotels when I was in Europe and they turned out to be one of the most memorable places I have ever stayed. In fact, the hotels or rather motels I stayed in were barely two stars and yet, they offered so much that five stars hotels couldn’t.
Cheap hotels does not equal cheap service or cheap surrounding. Sometimes, those quaint little places provide so much warmth and welcoming ambience. One feels like staying in a home of a friend than a hotel.
There are some hotels which have tiny elevator. There is this place in Paris where the elevator has no lights and can accomodate only three person. Even our luggage couldn’t go in! Of course, I dare not ride in the elevator as I have problems with tight and enclosed spaces. I used the staircase and when we got up to the room, it has the most adorable balcony with flowers and colourful pots. The view was fabulous as well.
So, if you are going to travel and wish to find cheap hotels to put up, just look around. Normally, to play it safe, I would check the travel forums and find out if the hotel is recommended by other travellers. Just take the hotel name, Google it a bit and read. Then, grab the attractive offers and enjoy your holidays.
