I use both hotels.com and also booking.com mostly for booking accomodation but its also 100% worth using trivago site to search and see if anywhere else has the same hotel cheaper (This has saved me loads in the past) its not a great site I find for searching hotels in a region, Use hotels and booking for that then use trivago to price comparison it.

To answer a couple of your questions, there are plenty of roadside motels near the National Parks. I usually use hotels.com or google to determine which chains are where and book directly with the hotel. Source: 6 months ago

Search on hotels.com or tripadvisor or other places to find things in your price range. You might have to stay outside of Manhattan, and before you book make sure to research commute times from the potential hotels to the places you want to visit. Source: 6 months ago

I use hotels.com, because they have 'pay when you get there' hotels, that way Im not charged if I dont show. Source: 6 months ago

It's $60 a night during peak holiday for a reason. Good hotels in that area are 4 to 6 times that. Looking at the ratings on Expedia and hotels.com, yeah, it's a shit hole. Did you read the reviews before you booked? Source: 6 months ago

In terms of location, I'm assuming you're going to be working around Buona Vista / one-North area? It might be worth looking for places to rent around there if you're going for private rentals, you can look up something on propertyguru. From what I hear about rentals, you may be better off staying in an apartment that isn't landlord occupied, just so that the owner won't be around, which might cause friction.

Check your options on 99.co, propertyguru.com.sg, iproperty.com.sg, etc. Some parts of SG have cheaper flat prices than others. For flats near Pioneer MRT, the current going rate seems to be around $2500+ for a 4-room HDB. Source: almost 3 years ago

I am actually using checking propertyguru.com.sg. Are there other property websites in Singapore that are as good? Source: almost 3 years ago
