....he will be arriving back at DAL at ~11pm, and I've convinced him that rather than making the 50+ mile drive to his house, that he should get a hotel near Love Field. He's fairly familiar with the area around Love Field.

Money is some issue and if something decent could be had for $80 that was very, very easy to get to in the dark, I'd be grateful to know. He did say that he didn't want to have to try to drive on Stemmons at night.

I've looked on Kayak and there do appear to be some options that have decent TripAdvisor reviews, but I just don't know the geography very well.

Would welcome any suggestions. Unlike me - gasp! - hotel program loyalty is no issue
