Instead of immediately looking for hotels in the city/place you are going on vacation, try looking at Vrbo.com. Vrbo is a marketplace owned by Expedia where you can rent a vacation property, like Airbnb. I have always been skeptical of using Airbnb due to the controversy surrounding it, but I have never seen criticism of Vrbo and have personally always been happy after renting through them. Renting a property is almost always less expensive than staying at a hotel. If you would rather stay in a hotel instead, go to hotels.com to look for a hotel. You can filter your results based on how much you are willing to pay, what area of the city you would like to stay in, and so much more!
