CLT economy hotels for commuter or training
Looking for updated information regarding experiences at CLT with some of the economy hotels. . . Needing several nights this month and will definitely go over the $250 mark. I see some of the lower priced hotels with decent reviews but would prefer a personal experience from someone.
Second question, can you use the commuter clause for hotels during training events?

1-hour SCR at TYS means you either commute in every day and basically put yourself on hot reserve, or find a crash pad. If you can realistically drive to CLT, park, and get through security in under 2 hours, that would be your best bet. Otherwise, which one gets you on LCR or better the quickest?
I love driving, but I hate driving I-40 at night from TYS to AVL. If you've never done it, I highly recommend doing it on a nice wet/windy night to see if you want to do it every day/week.

Concerning the Wyndham Garden by the Mens Club, tell them you're American Airlines, it's about $10 cheaper than what they offer PSA.
