Share a Room to Save

Further to the question of how to save money on lodging while travelling, there is a new Website, www.easynest.com, that offers to find you a roommate to share a hotel room in certain cities.

It didn't seem to be possible to find out mcuh about the site without signing up, which you can do easily through Facebook (www.facebook.com.) Like many people, I suspect, I am reluctant to sign up with still another Website that may bombard me with unwanted email.

However, I was able to determine that there is a hotel in New York, the Mildord Plaza, participating in the program. A shared room there will cost $100 per person. At the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel in Hong Kong, you can get a shared room for $130 per night. These are both very expensive cities, so the savings is well worth the trouble.

This is a new site, but one that shows promise. As always, of course, exercise caution in terms of your roommate selection if you decide to give it a try.
