Is there any bad conotationconnotation when we say sthone thing is cheaper than another?

I'm aware that when we say things like:

  • It's a cheap cell phone
  • That's a cheapo, throw it out

It's a cheap cell phone.

That's a cheapo, throw it out.

It does mean sthsomething is clearly of bad quality. But how about when comparing things,? for example:

  • Those shoes are cheaper than these.
  • That hotel is cheaper than this one.

Those shoes are cheaper than these.

That hotel is cheaper than this one.

Does it give the impression of lower quality, too? How subtle is it? Should I avoid it in any case?

Thanks
