Default DFW crew rate or crash pad

Looking for a list of hotels with good crew rates in DFW. Any good crash pads? PM's are fine.

Thanks!

Might be good rates. But I'm not saying their good hotels. I used to stay at Motel 6 north of Fedex ramp. And later at the Ramada. No where to eat at Motel 6 so I changed to Ramada. . Ramada has Denny's. Lots of crewmembers stayed at Red Roof which is across the street from ramada and next to Denny's. No idea about crash pads. Maybe with the new train now there will be better transportation for pads?

sorry, it was in 2010, dont remember. call em.

it appears Ramada Inn changed their name to Quality Inn & Suites (972) 929-0066.

Motel 6 is (972) 915-3993.

Red Roof is (972) 929-0020.


P.S. Ya I dont doubt about Denny's. Most of them are bad, including IHOP's.

Some envoy pilots have crash pads. Check with them.

Red Roof is $36 with tax. Motel 6 (which is remodeled and much nicer, but still pretty spartan) is $31, but there isn't food around it. Supposedly the Quality Inn and Suites will price match Red Roof.

Pro Tip: The van service is horrendous to RR and Motel 6 (and Wingate) because it's all the same contract van service. If you see the Quality Inn and Suites van, just tell the driver you're going to Red Roof and they'll let you bum a ride. Quality is right across the street from RR and Wingate.

I've never heard of the Quality matching prices, at least lately. Their shuttle is far better and the Westin is across the parking lot whose shuttle is better still. $43 out the door I believe. Super basic free breakfast.

I don't see Envoy guys using these much but they are usually full of Spirit and AA crews.

Most got rid of them. With our new hotels policy, most no longer need them.
