If you know of any hole-in-the-wall hotels/motels in Raleigh post them here. I need a cheap room for only one night this weekend and dont want to spend $50-80 for a room at a "decent" hotel.

The Red Roof Inn on Walnut street is really cheap.

4/13/2011 8:16:57 PM

The Capital Inn, Kings Motel, Milner Inn.

How dodgy are you willing to go or is price the only factor?

4/13/2011 8:17:18 PM

how many hours do you need this for? 1 or 2?

4/13/2011 8:38:00 PM

i think i'd just sleep in the car

4/13/2011 8:52:12 PM

The price is the only factor. I mean, I don't want to be killed while I sleep though. That being said, my stay will be more than 2 hours. Basically only long enough to get a nights rest.

4/13/2011 9:10:36 PM

A few months ago an RPD homicide cop was telling me about a grizzly suicide at the Milner Inn.

4/13/2011 9:11:23 PM

Thanks a lot dude

4/13/2011 9:15:14 PM

Just called Red Roof Inn on walnut and its $56 even after my state employee discount

4/13/2011 9:16:34 PM

There has to be a Motel 6 somewhere around there.

I have stayed at the Red Roof Inn on S Saunders for a night before. I think it was ~40 bucks, but this was 3 or 4 years ago. I did not get shot, and its a really short drive after you pick the girl up

4/13/2011 10:01:05 PM

I've called several places and I guess places have just simply went up. There were days when you could get a decent room for $30-35 but I guess those days are gone oh well. Thanks anyways guys and gals, guygals and galguys

4/13/2011 10:24:48 PM

there is a Days Inn on the north side of downtown. looks pretty cheap

4/13/2011 10:39:01 PM

^Just called Days Inn off Dawson. Ironically it was t[b]he most expensive one I called tonight.

a few on there for the mid 40s, bound to be more after local taxes though. maybe try negotiating?

4/13/2011 11:04:44 PM

I'm sure you could pay some kind wolfwebber 20 bucks to crash on their couch

i'd offer but i don't know you like that and i got too much shit that ain't bolted down

someone around here probably has little to nothing of value but a couch and a roof, i'd work that angle if you're really tryin to go cheap

4/13/2011 11:21:15 PM

aint no way you're finding a hotel for under 50 bucks a night in Raleigh after taxes. The damn taxes add on 12-15 bucks.

That said, for a cheap ass hotel that I really like, hit up the Clarion downtown (its the round hotel). Right in the heart of things, and I usually get business rates there ~50 a night.

4/13/2011 11:28:32 PM

I stayed in the clarion on a whim one night. asked for the highest room they had and i think i paid $55

solid. will whim again.

4/13/2011 11:29:49 PM

I got in a fight with my GF a few nights ago and was looking for like a $40 room...no such thing. I even went to south saunders st....the shitholes were just as much as a decent hotel in other parts of the city. I said fuck it and came home, the argument was only worth $40 or less.

I did not call the milner inn, did you?

4/13/2011 11:37:54 PM

The red roof inn on s saunders didn't seem too bad until it got robbed Sunday morning at like 10am...don't think i'll be staying there anymore.

[Edited on April 13, 2011 at 11:41 PM. Reason : i was there friday till sunday checkout]

4/13/2011 11:41:12 PM

Seriously, you will not find places cheaper than the ones I've listed.

4/13/2011 11:59:32 PM

^^^ you win this thread lol. The argument was worth $40 or less LOL. But Yeh, the cheapest I've heard tonight was $45, but you get $5 of that back at checkout don't ask me

hahah that is some shady ass deposit, surprised they dont hold your sneakers too

4/14/2011 12:05:54 AM

I remember seeing it on my Sprint navigation search thing but can't remember if I called there. Kings motel or whatever its called was one of the ones that was 45, with 5 back at checkout.

Very cheap and the room was decently clean. Too bad I left a ring in the room, they found it but sent it to the wrong address and was never found.

4/14/2011 12:32:46 AM

^ I'd be sooo pissed.

4/14/2011 12:37:54 AM

watch out for bed bugs!

i think you mean they kept it.

4/14/2011 2:46:22 AM

Hotwire has a 2star for 34 (44w/tax). You could probably get one under 30 on priceline.

4/14/2011 8:27:11 AM

I think priceline may be your best bet. I've saved quite a bit going through them. Though I've never used them for cheap motels though. I usually save ~50% off the nicer hotels though.

"Milner Inn"

Stay there and you might lucky with a girl from the Foxy Lady.

but yeah, try the "name your price" thing on Priceline. Might get a really cheap room at a really nice hotel.

4/14/2011 10:31:22 AM

^i think DZAndrea used to work there

4/14/2011 10:35:00 AM

Where? Milner Inn or The Foxy Lady?

When my husband was in high school, a friend of his had the graveyard shift at the Milner Inn on the weekends. He said he would see a friend of their's married dad every weekend w/ a girl from the Foxy Lady.

We used to throw hotel parties at the crappy Econo Lodge near Pleasant Valley. It was diet cheap then and purposely still is.

4/14/2011 10:55:37 AM

Just to let you know, this weekend there is a HUGE sports tournament in town.

It might be hard for you to find a hotel at the last minute

4/14/2011 11:16:04 AM

There's a Motel 6 out near Crossroads. Not really Raleigh, but, it's in your price point.

4/14/2011 12:31:06 PM

milner inn on capital is dirt cheap

4/16/2011 10:00:03 AM

btw, Hole In The Wall is a name of a good sports bar in NOVA...
