Another note - use hotel Best Price Guarantees to your advantage if you can! I've done MR's to SFO & CMH and have stayed for free in Ramada's because they have a policy for the first night free if you find a cheaper rate online. I also just booked a room in West Virigina for the night before a 2-day camping music festival (www.allgoodfestival.com if anyone's intererested in trekking out to W.V. in July!) at a Super 8 (it's a Super 8 Pride location - interior corridors, free breakfast, and seems like a decent enough place) - the rate was 69.99 on Super8.com & 69.98 on Travelocity so in the end, the room (which I'm arriving at late night & leaving early AM the next day) is free - all it is is a place to lay your head that's secure. 70 bucks for a room in WV isn't even budget really to me, but for the city, the Ramada Inn was 79, the Hampton Inn is 95, Best Western & SpringHill Suites was 99 & the Econolodge was 70. Had I had to pay for this, I probably would have just found a camp ground or a dirt road somewhere, but that's me - for a one-night stay in a town that I'm just passing through, 70 bucks is too much for an advance reservation when I'm not getting anything out of it - and the Hampton Inn's breakfast & points just aren't worth the extra 25 bucks to me.
