We’ve lived in New York City all our lives. Problem is our friends don’t, so they’re always asking our advice on cheap New York City hotels, despite the fact we’ve never actually slept in one. In the past, we’d advise the out-of-towners to look at the usual cheap hotel room web sites and pray for a deal.This holiday season however, when our college roommate wants to bring the family in during the holidays “to see the lights,” we’re sending him to Roomorama.com, an ingenious online booking engine for travelers looking for a decent place to stay.
At Roomorama.com your far-flung friends can view and book accommodations at one of their numerous, reasonably priced, short-stay possibilities – from furnished multi-roomed apartments and funky downtown lofts to single-room studios and apartment shares.
All they need to do is determine their travel dates, amenities required and type of accommodations desired and in seconds they’ll be presented with a list of places available, photos, the price per night and all the relevant details, plus a map pin-pointing the pad’s location.
As for us, we’ll let Roomorama find us a place to stay for a couple of days in London, perhaps during the holidays, you know, to see the lights (with regrets to the ol’ college roommate and his family).
Currently Roomorama lists places to stay in New York City, Miami, Boston, London, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto and Washington, DC. For information go to Roomorama.com
