Youth hostels!
Please patronize the youth hostels in Florida! That keeps them going and helps out other travellers. Like Lonely Planet says, a motel may be cheaper, but motels cater to people with cars and are joyless places to sleep. I am very sad that the downtown youth hostel in Orlando burned down (under some very mysterious circumstances, too--hmmm!).
My favorite hostel was the Everglades Hostel in Florida City, which had an elaborate hippie garden and beautiful airy painted rooms. Even though that part of the Everglades wasn't the most enticing, staying there really made my day.
