Shopping around for a cheap spring break getaway? There are a few sites that every bargain hunter should have on his or her hit list. While we've written about Hotwire's Travel Ticker before, we think it's worth calling attention once again to its "Hotels Under a Hundred" page, which consistently delivers an excellent, well-vetted compilation of lodging priced at under $100 a night, ranging from city boutique hotels to condo-style properties to all-inclusive beach resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico. Here are two current steals in the US that look particularly good for families:
Mike Ditka's Runaway Beach Club in Orlando, FL: Midweek rates from $59 for a one-bedroom villa, $89 for a unit with two bedrooms. What we like: The spacious units offer families plenty of room in which to spread out, not to mention a full kitchen, flatscreen TV, and washer/dryer (score!). The zero-entry pool is super-safe for little ones, and there's a complimentary shuttle to Disney World. Travel through April 30.
Catamaran Resort and Spa in San Diego, CA: Rooms are going for just $99 a night—that's up to 55% off regular rates. Plus, guests get discounts to some of San Diego's top attractions. What we like: For this price, we're impressed with the level of comfort and array of resort facilities and activities, including a spa, biking, and kayaking. This is a great location in Mission Bay's Aquatic Park, just 3.5 miles from SeaWorld. Travel through May 22.
