[MENTION=681595]swampwiz[/MENTION]: Are you traveling in Sept.? If not, the Mercure transit hotel may be an option which is scheduled to reopen in two weeks or so. Isn't there also the Yotelair? (Personally, I've only stayed at the Mercure. Merely aware there exists a Yotel. But I ain't sure it's suitable for your purposes.)
This would be in late October. It looks like Yotel will cost about $150, HALF of what the freaking air travel would be!
