I am very good at finding hotels on the cheap. Manhattan By the park, 86$ for one queen attached to a twin with shared bathroom, everything smelled like bleach, no bed bugs. I call that a win.  edit: Sorry for all caps: THE BEST ONE WAS IN GOING TO A WEDDING IN A VERY PRICEY HISTORICAL TOWN IN MAINE. EVERYONE STAYED AT THE WEDDING HOTEL, WE DID NOT WANT TO PAY $300 A NIGHT FOR A HOTEL, SO WE BOOKED SOMETHING ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY (WALKING DISTANCE). OUR HOTEL WAS EMPTY, ON THE WATER, HAD ALL THE AMENITIES, A LOVELY GARDEN, AND NEAR SNACKS. THE WEDDING HOTEL WAS LOUD 24/7 (MULTIPLE WEDDINGS ON THE WEEKEND) AND OVER A MILE AWAY FROM DOWNTOWN. I THINK MY $75 A NIGHT SUITE WAS SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY BUT THE DÉCOR.
