Jay's advice will serve you best when you are going to exactly one place,
are doing all the planning ahead of the trip, and expect to stay for
several days or more.

Very true. Their are exceptions to every rule.

If you're on a road trip, and are merely looking for a brief roof over your
head, a Super 8 at the freeway exit is hard to beat. We (and most privately
owned hotels) will NEVER be able to compete head-to-head with the econobox
"McHotels" -- nor should we.

But if you're looking for service, space, and amenities, we will blow away
the chain competition. Our SMALLEST suite, at $59.95 per night, is larger
than the Sheraton's BIGGEST suite, at over $200 per night. And we deliver
breakfast to your suite as part of the cost.

(We stayed at a chain hotel in Wisconsin this past summer that wanted $40 to
deliver the EXACT same continental breakfast to our suite that we throw in
as part of your $59.95 cost!)
