Hotels
Hotels are expensive ($150-250 doubles), with some exceptions. Business-
class hotels often drop prices to attract tourists with summer rates (late June-
early Aug) and weekend rates (Fri, Sat, and sometimes Sun). You need to ask
about these—receptionists don't volunteer the information. When a classy,
modern $200 place has a $150 summer special that includes two $10 buffet
breakfasts, the dumpy $100 hotel room without breakfast becomes less excit-
ing.
Many modern hotels have “combi” rooms (singles with a sofa that turns
the room into a perfectly good double), which are cheaper than a full double.
And if a hotel is not full, any day can bring out summer discounts.
