Honestly in DFW, one of the best options is to just go to the Motel 6 near the airport. Last time I heard it was about $35 a night. When you figure a pad will run you $250-$300 a month, that is anywhere from 8-10 nights at the cheaper hotels, except you have to share a pad with other people.

When you add in that you will hopefully fly at least a few nights a month, plus the four free from the company, it really is a wash in my opinion to just stay in a private room. Clean sheets, towels etc every day, privacy etc all add up to a better experience, even if it is slightly more expensive.

Best of luck regardless of your choice though.

Red Roof is $35, Motel 6 about $38. I've stayed at both but have moved on to the Clarion, across from Motel6. Very clean, a new wing with great rooms and even a small bistro open for bfast and dinner. Crew rate is $55, they're very nice and accommodating to crew, unlike the nasty staff at Motel 6 and the sketchiness of Red Roof.

Yeah sadly ORD is much more expensive. As others have said, crash pads seem to be the only option in here.
