PHL Commuter Hotels

Any recent Hotels in PHL that offer an affordable discount for commuters? Have used the Microtel and it was only $50, but just told them to go forth and multiply! So have to find somewhere else to crash at now!!!

Comfort Inn Essington $53 out the door (includes a crappy breakfast). Days Inn Chester $43 out the door (dodgy place)

As a commuter, is it usually cheaper to get a crash pad, or bargain hunt for hotels?....I know it obviously depends on the regional and the work rules. But in general.

Typical schedule for that base, seniority, where you commute from all dictate. All trips start early AM then yes? Ability to bid commutable schedule then no. Think I have paid for maybe 4 hotels this year (less than the price of one month in a crash pad)

As a line holder in multiple domicles, I've found hoteling it to cost about the same or less than a crash pad. If you have reserve days, the crashpad is cheaper.
