did 3* Springfield $50 then added Alexandria-old town and won. Nice hotel/rooms/service, right off 495 at telegraph exit. Priceline let me add a 2nd nite at same rate. Hotel website had $239 as the rate. My mom couldn't believe the rate b/c she just paid $75 for Sleep Inn 30 miles south of DC. Only problem is hotel requiring her to go to front desk to check out/in for 2nd night so she can keep the same room. Don't understand why she has to do anything? She needed 4 nights though, so I did it again for Fri/Sat 11/3 and 11/4: Tried 3* at $40 (Alexandria-Old Town), then added Springfield at $45 and got Courtyard by Marriott Pentagon South (NE side of Alexandria). Location is closer to DC and easier access to interstate off Seminary Rd exit, but don't know quality b/c she hasn't checked in yet. This hotel's website rate was only $110 for these nights. I guess weekends are cheaper in DC area?

First post, so I hope I did this right. Was looking for anything along I-85 corridor between Concord and Gastonia to make a pitstop. Here's what I did: Gastonia 2.5* $25 - no Gastonia 2* $25 - no added Charlotte airport $30 - no restarted Concord-Kannapolis 2.5* $30 - no added Charlotte airport $33 - no added Gastonia - no dropped to 2* and got it. There's only a two or three 2.5*'s in the area. The other location on I-85 was University Area, but a 2* in that region had bad reviews so I didn't include it. La Quinta North rate was $75 + tax on their website with Govt discount. So this sounds great so far! I used to pay $25-30+tax for some scary motels that always had issues! Last time I could barely sleep b/c some thugly types were knocking on doors at 2AM looking for cigarettes or something. Needless to say I didn't sleep well and thought my car would be gone in the morning! Thanks for this site. It's GREAT.
