When looking for low-budget accommodations, hotels can be found for as low as $20 - $30. This may come at a significantly lower standard. If there is a wastepaper basket next to a toilet in Mexico, it means you are to deposit your used toilet paper in the wastepaper basket. The wastebasket's placement may mean that a septic system is in use which can't handle toilet paper without expensive maintenance. The biggest concern is safety and as long as the place feels safe, it is worth the money.
