As more travelers book vacations, demand for hotels is rising and so are room rates. The daily rate at U.S. hotels averages $110.59 this year, up 4.1% from 2012 and up 12.6% from 2010, according to professional-services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. The average price is expected to rise to $115.68 in 2014.
随着预订度假游的游客人数的增加，对酒店的需求随之增加，房价也水涨船高。专业服务公司普华永道(PricewaterhouseCoopers)的数据显示，2013年美国酒店日均房价为110.59美元，较2012年和2010年分别上涨4.1%和12.6%。预计2014年平均房价将涨至115.68美元。
There's another, cheaper alternative: Travelers can reserve apartments or homes in their destinations at a lower price with more space to boot. Several services, such as Airbnb and Vacation Rentals by Owner, allow consumers to choose from an assortment of homes to stay in. Some owners also offer free airport pickups and drop-offs.
还有另一种比较便宜的选择方案：旅行者可以预订目的地的公寓或住宅，这些地方价格较低，而且空间较大。Airbnb和Vacation Rentals by Owner等几项服务允许消费者从各种各样的住宅中选择合适的入住。一些房主还提供免费的机场接送服务。
It can also be more helpful and cost-effective for large groups that are traveling together (you can book a large home with many bedrooms) or families with young children who require privacy and can cook in the home rather than paying to eat out. The downside, however, is less security than what hotels offer.
在多人一起旅行（可以订一个有许多卧室的大房子）或者家庭携幼童出行、需要隐私的情况下，入住这些地方更好，也更省钱，你可以在住宅内做饭，而不用花钱外出就餐。但不足之处是，这些地方不如酒店安全。
