Don't know anything about crashpads. Our crew hotel is the Ayers Suites by Ontario Mills mall. Great hotel, nice staff, $85 a night with tax. The Red Roof Inn, by the airport, is about as cheap as it gets. It's $60 a night with tax. To me, the Ayers Suites is worth the extra money, but I'm a Capt.
Sorry I can't answer any of your other questions.
