5-star Hotel experience in one star hotel in 2013-14
This is my second article on enjoying summer vacation and save money. Summer is vacation time for all people in North America. But high cost of lodging discourages many. I find this article very useful for all travelers who want to enjoy their vacation but they do not have extra money to stay in 5-star hotels.
Hunting for inexpensive travel accommodations is getting easier with the trendy pod-style, micro-tiny hotels popping up in popular destination cities, as well as options of living in someone’s home from sites like AirBNB.com.But not all places have the comforts of a 5-star hotel; truth be told, most would get between one to three stars. But shared bathrooms, living in a stranger’s home and summer dorm rentals are a common and inexpensive way to see the world.
Here are a few travel companions to pack if adventuring out to stay at alternative accommodations. They’re guaranteed to help turn a one-star room into a five-star hotel experience.
If you buy this stuff you will change your budget hotel to top star hotels:
