Dear etccdb,
Reasonably priced accommodations can be found at the israel youth hostel www.iyha.org.il and you can also check out our new website at http://www.travelujah.com The Christian guesthouses offer very reasonably priced accommodations and rooms are clean yet quite modest.
We specialize in showcasing all the Christian guesthouses and in addition, there are a number of one day to multi-day tours you can book which offer guaranteed departures. its excellent for the independent traveler who might want some commentary from a tour but perhaps doesn't want to commit to a multi-day tour with a group.
