As low as $44 some weekends in Atlanta this past spring. Still as low as $54 in some places over weekends. $63 for Las Vegas over July 4th weekend.
At those rates you can give me a "tired" Courtyard and I'm fine.
However, these days I prefer SpringHill Suites for a midprice Marriott family hotel.
I think I'd have to rank midprice hotels in this order, assuming they're "all on the same corner" where I'd like to stay and all the same rate:
StayBridge Suites (my current fave, though there aren't many of 'em)
SpringHill Suites
Hilton Garden Inn
Holiday Inn Express
Courtyard
Hampton Inn
Hyatt Place
Fairfield Inn
