“if you get in with 125 a night, you are doing good.”
I ask for discounts, nicely negotiate, often get to the $80’s range for short stays. Also, if there’s a big business in the area, ask for that company’s discount (counter folk don’t inquire about it), often well below $80.
That’s great. I do ask for military discount and even with that it is over 100. I probably do it wrong...lol.
