Cheap accomodation in latin america
In general, whenever I travel through any part of latin america, I always try to find a motel (in latin america, these are quickie motels). They can be found very reasonably priced if you choose to stay 12 hours. I usually arrive about 5-7pm and leave with the light in the morning.
These places usually have security and are carefully watched so people do not enter without paying and they always have garage doors or heavy curtains so nobody can see your bike and therefore not be stolen. They usually have large beds, hot water (most of the time, ask first and test if possible), big televisions and various other amenities. Some even serve food and liquor, some cheap, some not so cheap.
For a night, you can expect to pay about $15-40 depending on the quality of the place. I have found them to be numerous in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Ecuador($8).
Haven´t had a horrible experience yet other than some don´t have hot water or properly functioning cable.
I have only seen a few with internet (Tapachula, Mexico)
