also typically I could find cheap enough deals within $10-$30 of what backpackers pay for hostels... and I do prefer the privacy of my own room, the fresh towels, etc.


But I could be completely wrong.
Better than making an assumption is searching out hotels etc, seeing what the prices are and how they line up with what you're willing to spend.
