Title better stated as "lower tier" or "lesser brands" and not "cheap" hotel, as plenty have spent many at these "lesser brands."

That said, as an LTP and occasional T, it is all about the 4pm checkout when I need it. Occasionally a suite or jr. suite appears if the hotel has one. The $10 F&B credit has been more trouble than it is worth in various locations.
