I was under the impression the Inlet towers was around 75 and the bed & breakfast was 65 per night.
Competing for jumpseats is nothing new. Just ask the JAX, ORF and DEN guys about that. Again, I don't know as I haven't done it yet, but it sounds a whole lot better to me than flying night hub turns for alot less money.
If you can hold that, cool. I couldn't and definitely can't after the excess bid.
The towers is about that in the winter plus tax. But recently, you cannot seem to get a room at all do to the heavy volume of commuters (UPS mostly--new domicile)
