Worlds cheapest hotels (listed in OTAs)
There are promotions from time to time that give a fixed amount of miles for a hotel booking. And there are the voucher deals like the Travelocity one that just came through some weeks ago.
I searched but could not find anything helpful - what are the places with the cheapest hotels in Expedia/ Travelocity?
My list so far (random dates in September) 1 adult/ 1 room on Expedia:
- Cochin $14
- Bangkok $9
- Phuket $9
- Bali $19
- Hanoi $13
- New Delhi $11
- Kolkatta $14
- Pattaya $14
- Krabi $9
- Chongqing $18
- Mexico City $11
- Bogota $14
- BUenos Aires $14
- Bangalore $10 (updated)

Brand is irrelevant for me. There is a new promotion I found that gives a fixed amount of miles per booking. So finding a VERY low cost hotel would reduce CPM nicely.
There are a number of brand specific threads for cheapest/ most expensive (best) hotel already.

Some look ok, especially the ones in BKK. It's usually 2 stars. When I did backpacking trips $10 was my budget per night and almost always found something agreeable (though some places in Malaysia could have doubled as medieval prison). So as long as you have a sleeping bag and low expectations most places will work for you.

I'm looking at doing a backpacking trip in the next couple years, I'll take you're info into account.

I prefer my throw away stays in the US so weekdays in Atlantic City area can usually be found well under 20 bucks, of course Vegas too.

This thread is also useful for past promos where you get a fixed discount (e.g. $200 off) for flight+hotel at an OTA that lets you book a hotel unrelated to your flight.
You might check the MR forum for old threads on promos like that. There have been some $300-off and $200-off expedia promos over the past year or two.

Anything over $5 makes no sense for the promotion. If you find a booking for less than that I'll share the 'promo' with you via PM. I have already dine so with 2 FTers here.
