I got a good 4 star hotel rate through CFA corporate rates - $156 for a twin room at Rydges on Capital Hill, so split between 2 of us it's not a lot. The other (non corporate) prices I saw for 4 stars were about $200+ for a night, so something like a motel (Formula 1?) should be a lot cheaper and still be clean I looked up both sets of prices to see just how much benefit it would be to use the CFA member thingy, as once I went to book into a Best Western and they had a far better deal for just walking in!
Anyway, a normal motel like a Best Western shouldn't cost too much and I love them because they ARE clean.
