These days, it feels rare to find any travel destination that has not gotten more expensive. However, there are still some great deals to be found, like scoring a room at this Florida hotel for under $200. Fifty Grande recently detailed the best hotels across the country where you can book a room at this great rate.
These spots are ideal "if you’re looking for a hotel that has stellar amenities, well-appointed rooms, quick access to local attractions, and doesn’t break the bank," Fifty Grande states.
What's interesting about this detailed list of hotels is that they are located all across the country and offer a wide range of hotel types. Furthermore, they offer everything "from winery-region pads to cozy mountain town lodges, where you can find nightly rates for less than $200."
Being budget-cautious is certainly a primary and fair reason to book a relatively inexpensive room, but travelers consider other factors when doing so.
Often, when you need to make a quick reservation for a trip that you just decided on, one of the first criteria is looking for the cheapest option for the date that you need. When you book a trip well in advance, you often score the best rate possible.
In addition, sometimes travelers have their hearts set on a specific location or even a hotel that they consider a "bucket list" place to visit. Weekly, you check the rate on that place. You have a certain budget in mind, and when you see the room offered at that price you deem acceptable, you jump on it.
Here Is The Florida Hotel We're Talking About
Located at 7215 Corner Dr. in Orlando, you will find the Aloft Lake Nona. This vibrant hotel just opened in late 2023. In fact, they call themselves, the "hottest new kid on the block."
As part of the Marriott Bonvoy family, the Aloft Lake Nona even has a savings section on its website. The hotel is also in close proximity to Orlando's Brightline train station. "Experience an elevated way to travel with Brightline, Florida’s new train service connecting Orlando and South Florida," they say.
At the Aloft Lake Nova you will also find some great dining options. Tempo + Grace is a handcrafted kitchen. It's open daily from 6 AM to 10 AM, and then again for dinner at 5 PM.
A state-of-the-art fitness center and an outdoor pool where you can enjoy the sunshine are also part of the Aloft Lake Nova experience.
The 16 Best Images From the Final Round of the 2024 Masters
The 2024 Masters Tournament gave us everything we could hope for, and more.
The images of the final round spoke to a fun Sunday on the course at Augusta National Golf Club.
For the first time in the four days of the tournament, the weather was actually good for the golfers. Wind was light most of the day, which was far from the case the previous three days.
That lack of wind made scoring conditions a little better, and gave the leaderboard a much needed shakeup. It wasn't shakeup enough to slow down Scottie Scheffler though.
Scheffler held strong on his lead going into the day, and shot a solid 4-under, 68 in the final round. That gave him a four-stroke win over Masters rookie Ludvig Aberg from Sweden.
Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood finished tied for third at 4-under. First-round leader Bryson DeChambeau stumbled to a final-round 73, and finished tied with Cam Smith at 2-under, in sixth place.
Of the 60 golfers who made the cut, Tiger Woods ended up in 60th. He couldn't get much going on the weekend, where he shot a combined 15-over. He finished at 16-over, but did manage to break the record for consecutive cuts made at the Masters with his 24th.
