DFW Area: just type in Addison, TX and any Friday or Saturday night.
Should be about 5 Courtyards under $50. Sometimes you'll see a AAA rate hit $40. Look at the Package rates too: sometimes you'll see a $60-70 rate that includes a $20-25 Visa card (or similar).
Of the group, the Plano one is the most pleasant, a little farther north on the Tollway than the rest of them. The LBJ Josey one is the sketchiest - it's next to an apartment complex that seems to attract the Dallas Police at least once per night when I'm there. The other 3 or 4 are simply nestled in with office parks in the area...quiet and mostly empty anytime you're seeing the $50 rate.
Also...if you actually *stay* at your mattress-run hotels, there are two Renaissances in the area (one in Richardson and one near Love Field) that can be had in the $80 range. I'm doing a 2-night Ren run this weekend to finish Megabonus and get the 5,000 point Renaissance bonus. $80 and $87 are my two rates.
The Marriott Suites by Love Field occasionally drops into the $70's and is a hotel I like a lot. Great staff, breakfast chits for elites, and (obviously) big rooms for everyone.
All of these rates have normal cancel rules - none are prepaid.

I believe with Marriott you do have to physically show up to the hotel to get the night to post to your MR account. Not that I'd deter anyone from going to Egyptian Marriotts - we spent 5 nights at the one in Cairo and it was quite good. The ones in resort areas seem to get good reviews as well.
