Bed and Breakfast is a good alternative if you want something other than hotels and motels.
The hosts are friendly and professional who will catered to your basic needs. Some places
offer a kitchen so you can cook your own meals but you may have to share bathroom facilities
and television. As most bed and breakfast are privately owned, they are usually houses with
three to four bedrooms. Depending where you stay, some rooms can cost from as little as $50 to
$150. NOTE: Always book ahead to make sure that rooms are available. Bed & Breakfasts typically have limited number of rooms. Book online to save
over regular rates.
If you've ever done backpacking, then you know that
hostels can provide a cheap alternative to
most places. Hostels catered to your very basic need and usually include a room with radio
(maybe television), some private showers and community kitchen.
