I must admit that I am disappointed very pleased with this book. I do not think it worth the money. The information contained in the book short. Offer no more than a few nice pictures, lots of white space, and a list of all the hotels contact information on the back. What I most hate the subtitles are small and difficult to read about each picture. For the love of Christ for all spaces in the book the publisher can not choose a font larger and easier to read? I had expected more detailed description of each hotel listed in the book. As the writer comments on the quilt as repellent polyester chain charaterless room and charm of a small, cheap hotels, it is preaching to the choir, because people spend the money to buy this book and the class of travelers, this type of accommodation .

This book makes me want to pack up and go! so bad. . . and at the same time, evoking memories of sunny travel, adventure and spectacular. Browsing this book is like digging your shoebox full of photos – just better. See the photos could be taken – the places where the logged and you will find you enjoy the memories that have not yet done. This book is not intended as a guide – rather a combination of art books and photo albums. Combine pictures and stories of over 200 friendly, welcoming and caring for the budget places in the world – many from Asia and South America, but also found in the U.S. and Europe. The list of addresses on the back of the reader can contact the hotels directly for reservations. However, the book is a great inspiration without depressing strings on your next trip, and not on the search for these gems happy decision. When I am in need of a mood booster I love staying in the travel section of a bookstore and plan my next trip. This book has the same positive effect with a variation: Focuses on where you live more than where you go. This concept is a little confusing, but it makes sense: the place where he lives, at home, will be replaced if they should travel and hospitality oozing as much as the city or the country do not eat the visit — the lion's share of your travel budget.

The pictures are what leads me to enjoy this book. Unlike many other books on this trip to places of small notebook that is a good rest and a new and surprising. Bring Miss too many books, has the feeling that had been on the road, not this time. Always try that through writing and photos, the brevity of the words do not reflect, as some experience no words. So far, in the vicinity of this book was for me to get a feeling in those moments when you need something else. The few friends I received this book that enjoyed it.

'No hotel room has changed my life "begins with the cheap hotels Daisann McLane," have done but many of them, unexpectedly and inexplicably happy. "This book makes me inexplicably happy. McLane likes to travel for the right reasons, and their joy is contagious. A veteran of many decades of "blind dates" with cheap hotel rooms around the world (like the New York Times Frugal Traveler editor and columnist for National Geographic Traveler, cultural and observers for decades, Rolling Stone, Vogue, The Village Voice and others) white McLane its way through a ryokan. This book is a blatant love letter to all locations from Bali to Bangor, where he "found happiness." A good observer and self-willed, brilliant writer and photographer of talent, McLane and ferrets from photographs – beautiful – the grace notes that to define a culture: the fragrant frangipani on the pillow in Rarotonga, the elephants marched under his window, Madras – even the murderer of quilts that an attack in Tokyo in Texas holiday (you know how often you wash quilts Motel 6? McLane does and she is not amused). We are far from unique, fashion-slave catalogs that go through most travel guides, cheap hotels, is a reminder that the personal contact is wrapped around you, like beauty, knows all the lines McLane beloved cotton Castelar Hotel Buenos Aires. This does not mean that McLane is of crucial importance: training as a historian of culture, crack smart and very funny – a favorite travel companion. Bryan Burkhart surprisingly beautiful design is complemented perfectly imagine the view that McLane is difficult, one without the other. Compleat with the tricolor flag, the text in three languages (English, French and German), as is its overall theme, and stamp bags, cheap hotel is an elegant coffee-table artifcact: a beautiful art book, poignant reminder of a cultural critique and guide super. And makes me laugh. OK, I'm crazy for hotels. Since I also love to travel – and remember it now, why.

After opening the cheap hotels I kept saying "I love this book!" First, it is nicely printed and bound in Germany. The photographs, speak their own language, are numerous and wonderfully colorful. The text is in English, French and German, is reminiscent of the instructions. As you browse, what you are not at an armchair traveler, but a night traveler. The beds (and various services) image can be purchased for $ 4 to $ 185 per night to be (was, strictly speaking, the $ 185-room has two beds). There is a place in the world for every adventurous spirit. This book is, at least, as you are both business room.
