The definition of MOTEL in the USA comes from (engine + hotel = motel) which means a place to spend the night when traveling. That is, it is a simple hotel on the side of the road.

California is one of the states where hotel prices are the most expensive in the US. So, one of the best ways to facilitate this search is through apps.

Motel 6 chain

This Motel network we explored everywhere we found! The price is very considerate, while the hotels averaged R$350.00 to R$400.00, at the Motel it was R$250.00 per day.

Even more so with ice, air conditioning, some with breakfast and parking.

The more downtown Los Angeles or cities like San Diego, Santa Monica, among others, hotel prices became more expensive.

That is, it is very important that you do your research on hotels further away from the centers and that way you will save a lot and you will be able to eat everything in hamburgers (lol).

Another little thing, there are hardly any hotels without bathtub, which I think is a maximum and that for me, I would give a score of 10 for everyone! The carpeted floor and that wonderful American breakfast!

Hotel Reviews

In addition to prices, when we look for a hotel or motel, we look at the stars that mean general public assessment.

 However, for us Brazilians these stars are not always so significant.

In many cases, we were afraid to rent, only by the reviews and when we arrived at the place, everything worked out and it was wonderful.

So don't create a "pre" concept of a place you don't know yet!

search on websites

When searching on websites, “Cheap hotel in California”, almost always a list of websites that offer rentals will appear.

 Also, as you still don't know local prices, it's even harder to define whether it's really something to consider.

The best option is to check the prices of all the rental sites very carefully, as well as download the app that you think is most feasible, don't be lazy to search!

Pandemic

The pandemic brought delicate situations for everyone, especially for tourism and California is no different from the rest of the world!

a situation disproportionate in the pandemic it is notably the prices of motels that have become more expensive and hotels offering promotions.

What puts us at an advantage, at least in this situation, the less demand and more supply the price ends up falling even more.

For this reason, do a lot of research and you will find lots of promotion!
