Budget Travel in a NutShell

Unless it's off season, staying near the beach can prove pricey for most budgets. A good rule of thumb is the farther north along the beach and the smaller the hotel, the more affordable. Another good bet for the budget traveler: try the hotels and motels that line U.S. Highway 1 in the north end of town or State Road 7 further inland. The following digs are a good fit for economy-conscious travelers: Villas By the Sea; Beach Ball Motel; and Palm Plaza Hotel.

Very nice rooms and efficiencies can also be had a few minutes ride south of Ft. Lauderdale in Dania Beach or just north of the border in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea.
