When browsing budget stays, keep in mind that many small inns are converted ground-floor or basement spaces in apartment buildings. Check the actual square footage and make sure there is a full-sized window. If your work schedule changes or an event at Crocus Expo gets rescheduled, having a free cancellation policy can save you money. Always look over the specific room photos and cancellation terms before booking.
