-You can sleep for pennies in Sheki if you stay in one of the budget options, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. The lowest-grade options can have rooms with broken toilets, rude staff, etc, in addition to just being ugly. The most obvious overnight location is the Caravansarai hotel, which is reasonably priced and beautiful. Less obvious, but perhaps even more rewarding are the home stays.
