Have you tried Priceline.com? I just got a room in Nashville, TN for $25.00 per night. Just remember that they tack a $5.95 service charge onto whatever you bid plus tax. The above room ended up costing around $33.00 for the night, but Motel 6 cost more that that.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] but I did a search there for the Houston area. They cover over six areas in Houston so I just chose both airport locations and one other not knowing where you needed to be.

They have an "Upscale" Hotel near the Hobby Airport for only $59 a night. I just returned from Philadelphia and booked my "Upscale" hotel through them. It was a Wyndham Plaza and was VERY nice! The normal booking rate for our room was $159.00.


Here is their description of an Upscale Hotel:
Upscale
These hotels are known for their attention to detail. Rooms are well-adorned with high quality linens and furnishings. Upscale hotels are usually newly constructed properties or recently renovated, providing their guests with the ultimate in updated facilities. Guests are typically pampered with extra perks such as bathrobes and turndown services. Other amenities generally include 24-hour room service, concierge services, valet parking and superior fitness centers. These hotels are usually located near popular shopping, fine restaurants and major attractions.


I would strongly recommend that you use Hotwire for your hotel. They have never let me down. Also, use PLECC3PFF1 couopn code for $10 off that amount, making it just $49.00!

Thank you to both of you. I will see which one gives me a better deal.

I imagine you've already found a deal and booked a hotel, but in the future I strongly recommend Priceline.com. I've used them a lot of times for hotels and, in Houston in particular, I've received the Westin Galleria for $25 a night, for example. That's even cheaper than the cheapest Days Inn! In my experience, priceline beats Hotwire most of the time. If you want to really learn how you can maximize savings with priceline, checkout the [Only registered and activated users can see links.
