How can I get cheap hotels in Occidental?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Occidental

  1. If you're looking to travel to Occidental on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $95. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $264. Staying a short amount of time in Occidental is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Occidental, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Occidental, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Occidental, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful setting next to the golf course. Close to the Graton Casino. Close to everything. Hotel staff were wonderful and went the extra mile to get our rooms ready early. Really nice registration staff at all times. Parking was convenient to our rooms but we were charged $22/day per room which was not disclosed until after we booked the rooms. Lobby area with many sitting areas were very comfortable and inviting. The bar was only open until 10:00pm and there was only 1 bartender so it was a long difficult process to get drinks! Rooms were clean and comfortable, but need to be upgraded as they look like the 1980’s decor and furnishings. Bathtub was worn out in places from previous damage, couch really needed to be replaced."

"The property shows well and the room was clean, the staff was super nice, the kind of nice that is natural not some trained greetings. In fact, I had left my purse in the breakfast area and realized it later, they had it at the desk for me. And all the staff say hello as you pass by. I gave the grounds a lower score because it looks like they are repairing landscaping as everything is dug out dirt, that's all."
