A nice post over at
jaunted takes a look at some of the cheapest hotels around, a nice little resource for the budget-minded. Among the
listed hotels is Chelsea Lodge (not to be confused with the famous
Hotel Chelsea), where you can rest your weary bones for a
mere $114 a night. The drawback? Seems you have to shower and bathe with the other folks on the floor, which, I dunno,
may not be so bad. In Paris, you might consider the Hotel Chopin
where, for $107 you can spend your eve strolling the Champs Elysee and then come back to a cozy, well-lit room. And
then, if you’re LA-bound, there is the Figueroa, a
former YMCA which Frommers has ranked one of
the country’s best budget hotels. Your cost per night? About $124.
