Oceanside: A Strategy for Saving Money When Visiting San Diego?

Everyone is looking to stretch the dollar (US or Canadian), Euro, and GBP these days, so it's time to think outside the box. We all know about Priceline, and kayak, bookingbuddy and other internet sites that help us save money, but how about just staying somewhere "else?"

According to: Strategies for booking hotels on a budget - USATODAY.com: "Visitors to urban centers may save by booking outside main tourist areas. For San Diego, for example, 'you could stay in Carlsbad or even up as far as Oceanside,' said Joe McInerney, CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association."

So take a look at the next "big city" trip and consider if there may be a smaller city nearby without the name recognition that will save you significant amounts of money. Who knows, you may just discover the some hidden treasures in the new locale.

  1. Hi- My family and I are looking for a place to rent for Aug.4th through the 8th. Could you tell me if you have anything available? We have two boys ages 5 and 6 and are only in need of a one bedroom. Approx. $100.00/night? Thanks so much.
