WEB BUZZ

Cheap rates may be small comfort

With the dollar worth less than half a British pound and about two-thirds of a euro, an American needs to pinch pennies in Europe. EuroCheapo.com helps shave hotel costs in two dozen cities, including New York.

What's hot: The prices -- rooms starting at $80 in London; in Paris, $72 for a place advertised as a three-star. It has tools for budget travelers, such as train and bus guides.

What's not: The site says it has a team of editors who research the recommendations, but you have to wonder what their standards are. Some listings are hostels, and a few picks were panned by users on TripAdvisor.com.

Where am I?

This is a city known for great old architecture. And it's a desert spot and has a long-standing tradition of hospitality.
