Cheap Travel in October
Hello All!
My boyfriend and I are planning on taking a trip in October for our two year anniversary. We want to drive somewhere in the Northeast area. We have from October 11th-14th to stay in a hotel. I was thinking of Virginia or Maryland. Where along the Northeast would there be the cheapest hotels? Thank you for your help!

I can't speak to specifics for you, but I can tell you October is a nice time of year to travel. I would also caution you about staying in cheap hotels. Find a nice one and use kayak.com to get a good price.

In the northeast, you are still running into fall foliage so prices may be high. I would suggest looking at coastal towns that tend to switch to off season after Labor Day....you just have to be okay with some restaurants/stores being closed. You could check out Acadia National Park or Cape Cod.

Sorry, I saw northeast and incorrectly went with New England.
I would think the Blue Ridge Parkway would be post season rates.
Another option is DC...the hotels are pricey, but most of the attractions are free.
Or Assateague. They stop charging admission after Labor Day so I'm assuming lodging gets cheaper as well.
Maybe even Williamsburg? Kids are back in school so one would think prime season would be over.

For seaside choices we have been to both Acadia in Maine and Assateague/Chincoteague in Virginia at that time of year and both had less expensive lodging than in season at those areas.
The lodging choices on the way to Acadia were more expensive because of the leaf peepers.
Both had fewer eating choices, but still enough so that we didn't get hungry.
Skyline drive/Blue Ridge Pkwy is nice then too.

Where are you starting from??? Md. And Va. are not usually considered northeast.
It's a fallacy to think of a given area as having "cheap" hotels. You generally find hotels of all price levels in any given place. Rather than just looking for cheap (how much do you expect to pay per night??) why not think about what you'd like to see.
