Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Excelsior cost?
Budget hotel prices in Excelsior 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 Excelsior is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Excelsior, Minnesota, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate downtown core or considering nearby towns will generally yield more affordable accommodation options. Excelsior itself is a charming, albeit compact, lakeside community, and its prime location on Lake Minnetonka means that hotels directly within the main village tend to cater to a more upscale market.

Solo travellers looking to save might consider hotels a short drive away in neighbouring communities such as Minnetonka or Shorewood. These areas often feature a broader range of chain hotels that typically offer more competitive rates than boutique establishments. While not directly in Excelsior, they provide easy access to the village's attractions, including the Lake Minnetonka Regional Park and the bustling Water Street, home to various shops and eateries. Utilising ride-sharing services or local bus routes could connect you to Excelsior's centre without incurring significant costs.

Alternatively, if your heart is set on staying closer, look for guesthouses or smaller inns that might occasionally offer single rooms at a better price point, especially during the off-peak season.
When is the most affordable time to visit Excelsior?
The most affordable time to visit Excelsior is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (October to November) and early spring (April to May), outside of the peak summer months. During these periods, the demand for accommodation and some activities tends to decrease, leading to better value for budget-conscious travellers.

Solo travellers will find that hotel rates and guesthouse prices are typically lower, and there are fewer crowds, making it easier to enjoy the scenic lakeside setting and charming downtown at a more relaxed pace. You can often find deals on stays, especially mid-week.

While summer boasts warmer weather and a full calendar of events, the cooler shoulder seasons still offer plenty to see and do without the premium price tag. For example, a stroll along the Lake Minnetonka shoreline or a visit to the Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Historical Society can be enjoyed for free.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Excelsior with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Excelsior. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Excelsior?
Excelsior, Minnesota, offers a delightful array of free activities, great for budget-conscious travellers looking to experience the town's charm without spending a fortune.

For solo travellers and couples, a stroll along the shores of Lake Minnetonka is a must. The Excelsior Commons, a beautiful lakeside park, provides scenic views, benches for relaxing, and open green spaces great for a picnic. You can enjoy watching the boats, the serene water, and the vibrant setting, especially during warmer months. Walking through the historic downtown area is another engaging free activity; browse the unique storefronts, admire the Victorian architecture, and soak in the small-town ambiance. Many local shops have interesting window displays that provide entertainment even if you're not buying anything.

Another fantastic free option is exploring the Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Historical Society Museum. While it's a small museum, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's rich history and is entirely free to enter, providing a cultural experience without the cost. Additionally, keep an eye out for free community events, particularly during the summer. Excelsior often hosts free concerts in the park, art fairs, and farmers' markets (browsing is free, of course.), which offer a lively way to engage with local culture and people.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Excelsior 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. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Excelsior for you.
