Our worst budget "find" was on our first trip together---to Spain in 1981. Dona Pepas guest house in Seville, Spain had slimy sheets. (Shudder). But, on the same trip, for $10.50 per night, we had a perfectly respectable room with a private bathroom in a hotel in Nerja on the Costa del Sol. Now we travel when my husband has a work trip to somewhere nice. During the work part of the trip, when someone else is picking up the tab, we stay in conference/business level hotels which are pretty nice although kind of soul-less. On the nights when we're paying for the hotel, we find B&B's or 3 star hotels. Our best find was a well located guesthouse in Guanajuato, Mexico, el Zopilote Mojado (The Drenched Buzzard??) Despite the name, the room was spotless and quiet, we had free internet and a private bathroom for $85 per night. Breakfast wasn't included, but could be purchased for $5.00.Suzanne Fluhr https://www.blogger.com/profile/15164389928331501665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075873308681957542.post-87319151290269117732012-10-17T14:17:53.986-07:002012-10-17T14:17:53.986-07:00Are you kidding me?

Until recently, I didn't even realise I had to pay more than AUD100 for a room without bed bugs and stains on the wall. <br /><br />Our favourite hotels would have to be some of the Rajasthan palaces, the hotel in Cairo where that Agatha Christie book was set and one old convent in Spain. They were all tatty but fabulous and interesting nevertheless. There have definitely been more bad than good. And we always ask for twin beds :Dgeorgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.com
