As of 2010, Morganton's cheap hotel rates range from around $60 per night up to $120 per night. Even at the lower end of the price spectrum, you can count on comforts such as high-speed Internet access and a complimentary, continental breakfast.
Morganton has cheaper hotels that are close to Interstate 40 and popular tourist locations, such as state parks, the scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway. However, booking your hotel a little farther from these attractions and booking outside the height of tourist season may get you an even cheaper rate.
You should consider exactly how much you want to spend. If your budget is your most important consideration, you will still be comfortable in a hotel that costs just $60 per night. Yet, for a slightly higher price, you can be close to all nearby attractions and surrounded by the scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
