Q. I know that there are websites that offer deals to big hotels in great big cities. But are there ways to find deals in smaller towns as well? We want to take a weekend trip to a local city, and want to get a good deal on a room, is there any way to do this besides call every one in the phone book and ask their rates? It is Joplin, MO. I have found websites that cover Chicago and New York, etc, but not smaller towns. Any help will be great.
A. As far as I know if they aren't on the web you have no other choice but to phone.

A. Hiya, Harsh,
In what season will you be vising Costa Rica? From my experience, the majority of mainstream hotels do not offer student pricing, but they do offer ´green season´ prices which are lower due to possibilities of inclement weather and tourism drop-off. In this particular travel climate, many hotels are willing to negotiate something lower than their usual prices to draw business in off season--I have not found that to be the case in high season.
Definitely do bring your student ID as many of the Tour operators offer student pricing and discounts for excusrions, whcih could save you a significant amount. All of the national parks have student entrance pricing as well--the main draw here in CR, since most of us come here to see the wildlife...
You can look under the terms backpackers, mochilleros, hostels etc. to try and find low cost housing, but you´ll also find the majority of cabinas in Costa Rica are simple, clean and reasonably inexpensive.
What type of budget are you travelling on? While I personally own and manage a luxury boutique hotel in Monteverde, I spent my first year backpacking throughout the country. Perhaps I could make some specific suggestions if you give me an idea of season, budget and destinations--or would you like suggestions?

what website is the best for cheap hotel rates?
Q. I am planning a trip to Lake Tahoe and was wondering where to find the best deal on hotels?
A. I don't like Priceline -- you never know which hotel you'll get, and it may end up being nowhere near where you want to go.
I use http://www.resideo.com/us/california/southlaketahoe
You can look over the list of hotels, check rates, view pics, book online, etc. It's an easy site to use, and they don't have a lot of steps between choosing and booking (like expedia.com has).
Looks like Lakeland Village Beach & Mountain Resort is having a summer special -- $139/night some nights.
Good luck...hope that helps!
