Affordable Travel - Cheap Hotel Stays

Am I reading this right? Tripadvisor just listed the top ten hotels under 20 USD! Under 20 USD is that for real? That's more than affordable travel, that's down right cheap. Let's take a closer look and see what 20 bucks can get you.

Lion D'Or in Buenos Aires for a mere $14
Reviews seems to sum this up as clean, cheap and safe. So luxury seekers this is not for you, but then you're not looking for affordable travel at 14 bucks a night are you?

Tod Motor Motel in Las Vegas for $17
Mostly positive reviews but a couple that seems kind of scary so buyer be ware, sometimes you do get what you pay for. A hotel in the US for that price makes me a little wary plus I usually run the other way when I see the name "Motor" in the name of a motel (or motel for that matter).

A few more are in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Not surprisingly at this price nothing in more developed, western destinations.

You can read the whole list of top ten hotels under 20 dollars at tripadvisor.com.

Affordable travel or your worst nightmare, read the reviews first.

Affordable Travel - 4/5 Stars Hotels for $99

Expedia has an affordable travel promotion on right now called the Nine Day Sale. The offer is for 4 or 5 star hotels in a number of cities for under $99 USD for a list of 42 US cities as well as international cities.

I checked one of my favourite cities (San Fran) and the price at the Hilton was $89/night. For San Fran I consider that very affordable travel! I also checked my favorite international city, Paris and the price was $229 (also for a Hilton) so it is a bit confusing that the hotels are all supposed to be under $99. Check from the list to see the offer for your selected city, prices are very affordable. Paris for $229 at the Hilton Defense is still a good deal.

Details:
Must book by today (September 9th) for travel through to September 30, 2009.
Book online at Expedia.com or call 1-800-551-2409

Affordable Travel - Lounge Access

Would you like to enjoy the little luxury of an executive lounge but don't have the frequent flyer privilege or can't afford those crazy business class prices?

Air Canada realises that there are a lot of people like you. Air Canada offers affordable access to their Maple Leaf Lounges starting at $25 (within Canada and between Canada and the United States). International destinations start at $40.

In this way you can travel on an economy ticket and still have the privilege of accessing the executive lounge. Of course, if you are on a really tight budget this will not be for you but at $25 we think this is a little affordable travel luxury!

Access to the lounge, depending on the city, can mean a number of amenities such as a shower. A shower can be a big benefit if you have been traveling in economy overseas with a connection. A little freshening up can really revive you, making the rest of the trip bearable.

The quality of the lounges vary by airport as well so make sure in advance that if you purchase lounge access the services, amenities and quality will be worth it.

Some other amenities you can expect are:
- Snacks and beverages, including alcohol at some airport lounges
- Internet access which may vary from completely free wifi to a in lounge computer access to having to pay, the latter doesn't make it worth the lounge fee if Internet access is a priority for you
- Meeting rooms
- Entertainment ranging from magazines, newspapers to television
- Comfortable seating in a more quiet environment (of course this depends on who is in the lounge at the time)

How to purchase the Maple Leaf Lounge access? You can add the pass to your booking.
Check Air Canada's website for full details of lounge locations, features and privileges.

Enjoy your affordable travel lounge access!
Bon voyage.
