Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Columbus cost?
Budget hotel prices in Columbus vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Columbus is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Columbus, New Mexico, finding a dedicated "cheap hotel area" in the traditional sense isn't quite applicable, as it's a very small village with limited accommodation options. The best approach for affordable lodging is to look for independent motels or guesthouses directly within Columbus or consider nearby larger towns for more choice.

Within Columbus itself, the few independent motels generally offer the most economical rates. These establishments are typically centrally located, making it easy for solo travellers to walk to the Pancho Villa State Park, the local museum, and the few eateries available. This also minimises transportation costs, as the village is easily navigable on foot.

Alternatively, solo travellers might consider staying in Deming, a larger town about 30 miles north of Columbus. Deming offers a wider selection of budget-friendly chain hotels and independent motels. While this requires a short drive to Columbus, the increased choice in accommodation can often lead to better deals.
When is the most affordable time to visit Columbus?
The most affordable time to visit Columbus, New Mexico, is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), avoiding the peak summer months. During these times, the weather is pleasant, and you're more likely to find better deals on accommodation and potentially lower crowds, making for a more economical trip.

For solo travellers, visiting in the cooler months can mean a more relaxed experience when exploring the Pancho Villa State Park, where you can enjoy the historical exhibits and desert flora without the intense summer heat. Accommodation options, which are generally limited in Columbus, may also offer more competitive pricing outside of the busy summer period.

The village of Columbus is small, and its main attractions, such as the Columbus Historical Museum and the surrounding desert landscapes, are budget-friendly year-round.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Columbus as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options.
