Dallas, Texas The cities were chosen in part because they have less expensive hotel options. But you want to make sure you avoid paying those very controversial fees that hotels call “resort fees.” Often they’re not transparent, and the traveler doesn’t realize there’s an extra fee until they check into the hotel. For example I looked at hotels in the city at the top of the list, Orlando, Florida. I compared the prices on several sites like Orbitz, Hotels.com, and Kayak. I also checked the hotel’s own website. Sometimes the price posted there is cheaper. The best price I found for the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is $174 a night on hotels.com. I looked at prices for the week of August 10th – August 17th.
