I just walked down the street instead of taking the very poor guidance from the booker in the Train Station, instead of 180 Euro it was 80 in a business hotel

Venere.com has very nice search functions, maps, booking with a 'my Reservations' feature that makes it easy to monitor, cancel, and find information. The best we used although Paris35 (See Hotel Aviatic in this section) is developing a similar interface. They don't have all the hotels but the site is a good place to start.

Aww, some of these look familiar from when I went on a little budget trip of my own! Haha. Cheap hotels are the best, and if you get hotels booked far enough in advance, you can score some pretty good deals on decent places. I’m an ambassador for Hampton Inns, and we’re running huge deals right now, I thought I’d let you know about it.

Hampton Inn is offering 10% off the best available rate until September 1st. We’re also giving away bikes, vacations and a lot of other stuff for the Olympic Games!

Check it out here: http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/promotions/hx_summerpromo08/index.jhtml?cid=OM,HX,Dreams,Specials&it=Specials,Dreams

Check out this video also and let me know what you think! Hope I didn’t bother or cross any boundaries by contacting you.

Actually Rob really doesn't get it. Hotels are generally boring, hostels are the way to go. At a hostel people get together and share stories and eat a good meal together instead of getting ripped off by some restaurant with an imitation chef. In hotels it's the about bed in a hostel it's about the people including the people that work there, we all party together.
