nice hotel

I am taking a trip from memphis tn to mission viejo ca. I would like a nice CLEAN place to stay for around 100.00.Any help would be appreciated.



nice hotel


Try the Hilton Garden Inn on Meridian, on the west edge of the city, just south of I-40. I%26#39;ve seen rates there as low as $89 and as high as $129. The Hyatt Place on the same street but farther from I-40 would be another good option.



nice hotel


If you are coming through on a weekend you will have a fairly large number of choices depending on how far off of I-40 you want to travel. At least a few will be major brands.



In midweek you will be more limited. For a midweek stopover, you can stay at:



Comfort Inn, Founders Tower - 5704 Mosteller Dr, Oklahoma City, OK, 73112, 866-539-0036, A fairly new property about 9 miles north of I-40 and close to I-44. About $85/night in the middle of the week in June



or



Extended Stay Deluxe Oklahoma City - Northwest, 4811 NW Expressway, Oklahoma City, OK, 73132, 866-539-0036 - about 3 miles west of the Comfort Inn and accessible to I-44 as well. About $75/night in the middle of the week in June.



Check out some hotel offerings at the various reservation sites and if you find somehthing, post back and ask.



And if you are sure of the day - try Priceline and ask for a 4 star hotel at $100/night.




I%26#39;m sorry modcon, but I%26#39;ve got to call you on this one. You usually give great advice, but this just doesn%26#39;t make sense. Going from TN to CA, cc123 is going to be on I-40, so why would you take him up to the northwest side which is both out of his way and sure to get him into morning traffic as he leaves? I%26#39;m sorry, but this just doesn%26#39;t make much sense.





And having stayed in the Hilton and Hyatt I suggested as well as the Comfort Inn you suggested, let me assure you that there is no comparison in quality, amenities, nor condition of the hotels. I spent two nights at the Comfort in December while my wife had surgery across the street; it%26#39;s mediocre at best.




The question concerns clean hotels for $100 or less. If it%26#39;s midweek it will be difficult to find a decent hotel along I-40 for that price - including the ones you listed.



The hotels I mentioned are admittedly budget hotels that lack amenities, but even in the middle of the week they are less (some much less) than $100/night. I checked the hotels you listed - both good choices btw - and the rates were in excess of $100 for a weeknight and around $95-100 (after taxes) on a weekend (Fri/Sat) night.



I agree completely that it is off route to get to the NW side, but by taking I-44/240/Hefner Parkway north to NW Expressway, it can be as short as 15 minutes. (Granted, it can also be as long as 40 minutes depending on the time of day and the chance of an accident. But that%26#39;s a risk on any intracity interstate)



It%26#39;s up to the cc123tn to decide what is more important - money or convenience. I was just trying to give some less expensive alternatives if it%26#39;s money.



And I still think priceline could be a reasonable option if the date is firm.



I hope this clarifies my suggestions.




Fair enough, modcon. You focused on price and the ';clean'; in the message while I focused on the ';nice'; of the subject line and convenience to route. Personally, having stayed in these hotels, I would happily pay $50 extra just to avoid the Comfort Inn Founders Tower and the Northwest Expressway.




I couldn%26#39;t agree more about paying the extra for convenience and amenities. But I try to remember that $50 is at least a couple of tanks of gas (and more for most cars.) I guess I%26#39;m more sensitive to money since I was out of work for some time last year. Maybe too sensitive. lol



In the end, I hope this has all been helpful to cc123tn!



:)




I would definitely recommend staying in close to I-40 as TwoProfs suggested. This gives you the option of the Meridian hotels as well as the ones in Midwest City. There should be an affordable option among those. You might also look at Yukon, which has a few travel hotels right on I-40 just west of OKC.
