Will be visiting Austin the last week in April and looking for an inexpensive place to stay for a week or so. Would like to stay in the northwest section of Austin. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Fred

Go to www.biddingfortravel.com to get an idea of what to bid. Go to priceline.com to get the hotel. Not sure what inexpensive means to you but you definitely can save 60% off the rack rate of hotels using this method

We routinely get the hyatt or hilton downtown for $70/night using priceline for visiting employees. they arent always available, but when they are it is a great deal.

I am staying at the Homestead Suites - Arboretum (in the Northwest) for $60 a night. I got it by simply going to their website - no bidding involved/

You tend to get a much higher level of accomodation for virtually the same price using Priceline. It is an art form however, and you need to know how to bid. Biddingfortravel.com is a must read.
I have gotten the Maui Hyatt for $150 a night and ths Rennaisance San Francisco for $69 a night among many many others....

Good Luck!
