practical tips for travellers

where to stay

 

Looking for a hotel in Washington DC or for a camping site in Colorado? From as basic & economical as you may want, to as extravagant & luxurious as you could possibly imagine, whatever your choice of accommodation is, you will find it right here!

The United States offers all kinds of lodging possibilities, ranging from the full service resort with a golf course, tennis court and other amenities to the cozy Bed-and-Breakfast or Country Inn.

 

B & B's are charming but not necessary cheaper than the average motel. There are many popular hotel and motel chains that run both expensive and moderately priced facilities and most of them offer modern, clean rooms and a certain level of service and quality wherever you may be.

Those wanting to spend their holiday in a rural setting, experiencing the life of a cowboy can spend some time at a range or farm. Camping also has many possibilities in the US and campsites are very well maintained. However you are not allowed to camp outside the designated areas.

Some organizations rent out villas or apartments or will co-ordinate house swaps. Students and young travelers can find cheaper accommodations in Youth Hostels.

You can book most accommodations by visiting your professional travel agent.
