Commuter hotel situation is pretty pathetic. Most run $50.00 plus and very few in close to the airport are places that you would actually want to stay at.
Sorry not to have better news...
so much for giving up the forum huh?

) FedEx would be nice to make just about everything commutable.
Like Memguy said, mem isnt very commuter friendly as far as crashpads go, you'll likely need a car and the hotels arent cheap like dtw. theres alot of RJ's in Mem which has made my commute get progressively worse with the cut in capacity. I'm thinking about switching out of mem because of that. Plus memphis is pretty senior so it'll be a while to hold a line there for me so it may be time for me to switch bases.
Its a great base though and i'd love to stay there but i'm sticking with the bid for QOL idea. fwiw
