Fjord-country Hotels: While on the subject of transportation thrift I should mention that all tariffs, by plane, train, bus or boat, tend to be about 15 to 20 per cent lower in the thrift season, before and after the summer crowds inundate the country.
Economy lodging is quite as general in Norway as economy touring. Even in a first-class hotel you need hardly pay over $3 for a single room with bath, or $5 for a double, and in fjord-country hotels you can often get first-class accommodations with all meals for about $4 a day.
Hotels are generally grouped in four main categories: commercial or transient hotels; resort hotels; residential hotels; and motels, or motor hotels. In the United States about 75% of the hotel rooms (excluding motels) are in commercial hotels, 16% in resort hotels (both summer and winter seasons), and the remaining 9% in residential hotels. About 80% of the American motel rooms are in commercial establishments and the remainder in resort motels.
Luxury hotels do not reach the extremes of prodigality provided in some other lands of Europe, but reasonable luxury in accommodations, along with food that is undeniably excellent, is available in the large centers and good first-class standards prevail in scores of lesser hotels throughout the country.
