So I look for Choice, found a Sleep Inn that had just finished remodeled that cost $76, I could even gone for the nearby Quality for just $49, but when I read the reviews on tripadvisor about that Quality, seems like there are quite a bit of complains, so I pay $27 more to stay at Sleep Inn, still almost less than half of what Hampton cost. Choice got my business.
All depends on the location, for some of the places I go Hampton's are regularly lower than $100 a night, especially on weekends. Other places, usually $100-$150 a night. I do 9 night stays usually.
