I've mentioned this on here before, but my sim partner and I were able to get a deal on a two bedroom suite at the Residence Inn. I think we paid something like $160/night out the door for basically two master bedrooms separated by a living room and full kitchen. Free breakfast every morning, free booze and food 3-4 nights a week. The evening food wasn't as extensive as the Staybridge, typically just snacks/appetizers. But once you're on a whacked out sim schedule, having the full kitchen was nicer than the free food. As I recall (and I might be mixing this up with the hotel in MIA), they had grills out by the pool for guest use. Nice way to make some dinner, wind down and do some light studying. Added bonus, it's at most a 5 minute walk to Delta Land and still very convenient to all the goodies that Virginia Avenue has to offer. And added added bonus: we both got a pile of Marriott points.
Moral of the story: Call around and ask for a "Delta crew discount" and you'd be surprised at some of the deals you can get.

There used to be a bunch of crashpads in the neighborhood around the private school back there. I did some footwork during indoc and found a crashpad with my own room for $250 a month. I stayed there during sims and ended up keeping the place while I was based there. With all the hiring those might be far and few between now. It was nice having a house with a living room, kitchen, laundry, TV, internet for $250 a month. If those aren't available get a nice place for sure even if it costs $$$....nothing worse than staying in an uncomfortable dump during newhire sim training.
I did hear of a few guys doing the Motel 6 because it was cheap. Not recommended from their accounts.

Hmm sounds nice but kinda far. Still tossing around the idea. Would be nice to have the rv and my own space but that's a long drive for Sims etc..

Not really. You aren't doing 8 hour days in a classroom anymore. You will spend 6 hours a day at the training center. About every 4 days, you get a 1 or 2 day break. Plenty of people have a 45 minute commute to a job where they work 8 hours a day 5 days a week.
