At under $100/night on weekdays, all I can think of is the Days Inn, which is slightly dumpy. It should run you about $80/night.
Otherwise, midrange hotels in Sunnyvale will be about $80/night on weekends, $200+ on weekdays. (Even the Comfort Inn will be over $100 on weekdays usually) And those prices have come down significantly since the Silly Valley go-go days.
Use expedia.com, or call the hotel directly to get a weekly or two-week rate, which can be a significant savings, and will bring you a bit closer to your budget.
Also try the surrounding communities of Santa Clara and Mountain View for possible hotel deals. Palo Alto is a surrounding community too, but tends to be much more expensive than Sunnyvale.
For sushi, find El Camino Real (the main drag), and drive southeast (toward San Jose). You'll be in a large Korean neighborhood, with lots of good sushi restaurants in every strip mall. Midori (on El Camino Real) is a good start; it's larger, more expensive, and less mom-and-pop than the other ones.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel in Sunnyvale for a two-week stay next month? This is for a friend of mine. He'll rent a car. Budget is 80$/night and a high speed Internet access would be a plus (at this budget, I doubt there would be but who knows in this area... a dial-up will do).
