People will be able to book rooms and suites in Buckingham and Kensington palaces for the 2012 Olympics, says EasyToBook.com. And you thought Clinton putting people up in the Lincoln bedroom was shocking? What next for the royal family?

I agree there are plenty of options in the UK for travellers with smaller budgets - just look at all the backpackers and students from across the world that come to the UK and particularly London for their gap years.  The Youth Hostel Association YHA has some great properties (and not just for youths) as well as the plethora of pretty decent 'backpackers' small B&B's and holiday/camping parks.  As for food, there are always places to get a decent breakfast for under £4, even in London and plenty of regular offers on various coupon sites etc for discount dining at some pretty good restaurants.  I think perhaps all it entails is a bit of research before leaving home and if all else fails - ask a local!

I like your story about the $500 room. Also, your questions about displaying hotel options raise an issue of importance to leisure travelers like me. Hopefully some editors are reading this and heeding your words.

Northeast (do you mind if I call you North?),

 

I've noticed a change in travel coverage. I used to see sidebars that listed a range of hotel prices in a city: high-end, medium, budget. I don't see that anymore. Is that because we, the writers, don't supply the options or because the editors have cut that space? Or was it just something that fell by the wayside without anyone noticing?

15 years ago I stayed at a property which, with currency conversion, charged $110 for breakfast! Guess what? It was packed!

 

One destination told me that I was in their files as the only travel writer they ever hosted who asked for a downgrade in accommodations. I write for both the individual and corporate traveler. When I got the itinerary for that trip and saw where they had me booked I asked for something less business-oriented. The business crowd weren't my readers for that article so it was pointless to have a $500-a-night room. $500-a-week was more the budget for that reader. It worked. It was realistic. Everyone was happy.
