Select the Right Accommodations

I’ve never stayed at a hostel, but I know hostels are cheap when compared to other options. Talk to people that have stayed at the hostel before you register and ask them how their stay was. Some hostels are known for maintaining cleanliness. If the price is on the high side, and it is highly recommended by your friends; it’s more than likely a good option. Motels are one of my favorite options, as your car is usually parked within 20 steps of the door to your motel room.
