Need something cheap and clean (and safe!)

[100AcreMom]

We need a place to stay the last night of our trip. It doesn't have to be near the parks, since we will be heading home( east 1-4) the next morning. Any suggestions? We just need cheap and clean, and someplace our car won't be broken into.

We have stayed at the Days Inn Maingate East without any problems. I have encountered only 1 other person on here that has ever had a problem and they said it was a few years ago. It is within a mile of I4. When we were there last April we got the room for $19.99 a night (a bargain). We will be there again in 2 weeks and this time it is $34.99 a night. Still not a bad price. Look at the www.go2orlando.com site, it has a lot of great hotel deals. I found they are cheaper than the hotel themselves by almost 1/2. Our room was average size. It looked recently updated because it was very bright and modern looking. It was immaculate. I am really budget minded, but I do have standards when it comes to cleanliness. Our room was spotless.

We've stayed a couple of times at the EconoLodge MainGate Hawaiian on 192 West of I-4. Rate is usually in the 20's. I'd recommend checking that. Also, across the street from that is a Knights Inn and a Motel 6. All are decent and cheap.

Try Priceline. You can get a 2 1/2 - 3 star for $20 to $30 a night instead of spending that much for a rat trap... pardon the expression.

Check www.biddingfortravel.com for information.

I would agree that Priceline is a good way to go in this situation. I've never used them because I'm too much of a control freak to not know exactly where I'll be staying(plus we usually doa suite hotel which they don't handle), but if location really isn't such a big deal then I'm sure you can get a great deal on a nice hotel with Priceline.

Priceline won't work for me - I think the 5 day cancel policy for on-site is too restrictive. This is for an extra night we may or may not use - we won't know until we've been there a couple of days. So, whatever I choose needs to have a same day cancel. I'm considering the Motel 6 westgate or Rodeway Inn Maingate. Any opinions?
