Fourth of July Weekend: Where the deals are
Posted by: Sean O'Neill, Thursday, Jul 1, 2010, 2:41 PM

We checked in with the pros at Travelocity to try to see where the most affordable hotspots are nationwide. Genevieve Shaw Brown pulled some numbers for us, comparing average nightly rates for every hotel purchased on Travelocity with a check-in date between July 2–5 this year compared with the same dates in 2008.

BIGGEST BARGAIN:
San Antonio
Now, $109
Down 30 percent

FULL LIST:

Orlando
Now, $118
Down 10 percent.

Washington, D.C.
Now, $150
Down 5 percent.

South Florida
Now, $135
Down 17 percent

Boston
Now, $166
Down 17 percent.

Atlanta
Now, $112
Down 23 percent

Tampa / St. Petersburg
Now, $123
Down 24 percent

San Juan
Now, $162
Down 27 percent

Minneapolis / St. Paul
Now, $95
Down 24 percent

Reno
Now, $146
Down 11 percent.

Clearly, there are still a ton of bargain hotel rooms out there, via sites such as Travelocity.
