This might be a bit late for your trip, Hal, but you might want to check out [url]http://www.couchsurfing.org/[/url] for possible free accommodation with real people. We've had a number of people stay with us, and so far no crazed axe-murderers.

I think Mulberry did the very same exercise a few weeks back. Check out the report from 3rd June on the N****** P****** website:
