Steven Fry in America

If like me, you’re hooked on watching Steven Fry’s travels across the USA in his London Taxi then you’ll no doubt be itching to visit some of the destinations on his journey.

Unlike Steven though, I’ll settle for a hotel rather than some good ol’ gin-u-wine American hospitality so finding a great hotel is essential.  Thankfully it’s the Internet to the rescue with fantastic websites like Cheaperthanhotels, with last minute deals and discounts for pre booked rooms. This is how the smart traveller books rooms and prices are often cheaper than what native Americans are paying!

Miami

Anyway, back to Steven’s journey and last nights (Sunday) episode saw him dipping into the Southern states and into Miami.  I can’t help but think he really missed everything that Florida has to offer – after all, he doesn’t really seem the type to take advantage of the glorious sunshine!  Stunning art-deco and cheap Miami hotels are easy to find in this part of the country.

New York

Theres the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Madison Square Garden and loads more. But the question is where do you stay in New York City?  You don’t need a little black book of hotel managers to find the best rates. Demand for hotels in New York is always high which often inflates the rates, but this is the only place you need to look for cheap hotels in New York City.

San Franciso

Whether you’re here on business or doing the tourist thing and visiting attractions such as Alcatraz prison, the Golden Gate Bridge and taking cable car trips through town, it’s a truly beautiful city that isn’t short of cheap San Francisco hotel deals that are just a few clicks away.

From 5-star (and above) luxury, to great value budget hotels, ‘cisco has it all!
