I live in Bali and only a few nights ago took my beautiful lady to Seminyak for a couple of nights and did exactly that - walked into a few hotels to see what was available. For $45 we found a great hotel with pool, huge room, ac, tv, large bathroom with bath etc only 30 metres back from the beach.
This searching for hotels on arrival was always the way I found accommodation until I settled in a village amongs the rice fields
