Have you stayed in a hotel in a whole? A roadside Homewood Suites in Lubbock, TX is $200 a night.

DP. Hmm. Weird because there are tons of good options off site within 15 minutes of WDW for under $200/night. Williamsburg is often under that price unless it’s a holiday or graduation or something. We too often stay for under $200/night. We sometimes stay nicer too though. It just depends on the time of year and situation.

We live near San Francisco. Twice we’ve taken “staycations” in hot weather (we don’t have A/C) to the Ameswell in Mountain View and really like it. It’s only 30 mins from home but the hotel is clean and nice, the sound proofing is good and the bar / yard games are fun. The pool is little so hit or miss depending how crowded it is.

For work last year I stayed at the Hilton in Downtown Santa Fe and really liked it. The pool was beautiful, it was easy to walk everywhere, and I liked the decor. There was a fireplace near the pool but I didn’t use that.

Pp here- I, too, tend to think you can’t stay anywhere nice under $200/ night but it does, of course, depend on the season. I just looked at the Hilton in Santa Fe and it’s under $200 / night right now.

It's harder and harder though to find the decent $300-400s as most increase to 500 or the cheap stay $200.

We used to book at the $1000-1300/night Caribbean paces for the family but now they are all nuts into $2300+! Ugh.

I find the true $500s places to now be in the $800s

I agree

I stayed at Inn of the Governors in Santa Fe many years ago but think their prices are still very reasonable and under $500/night. Really enjoyed it - had a fireplace in the room that I used every night. Good location in the city. There’s a pool for warner months. Restaurant had a nice vibe and the staff were all really nice. These days I usually stay at four seasons type places but I really love it when I find moderate hotels that provide a lot of bang for the buck.

Hotel Jackson in Jackson WY if you go at the right time (not Xmas week).

Last year I paid $600 for the Breakers in Palm Beach at a conference rate. Normally $1000+. Definitely worth $600.

OP: You might want to put some time parameters on your question. Like "in the past year," etc. I've stayed in many amazing places that were under $300 a night but may no longer be in that range.

The Fountainbleau in Vegas. But it may have been cheap because it had just opened. In any event, it was quite nice.

I was going to say the best Western in Monterey!

+1 to this.

I love the embassy suites in Seattle. Walking distance to the ferry, shops and pinball museum, beautiful rooftop pool, laundry

Same. Well actually, some were more but I got the government rate, back in the day of travel for work.
