I have found if you stay at an extended stay hotel, it is MUCH cheaper than staying at a normal hotel. I am staying for a week in MS for about 37 a night.

Seriously, if you can afford to stay longer, then do this. It is soooo much cheaper!

My mom is an assistant manager for Towne Place Suites by Marriott in my hometown. They're an extended stay. =) I love extended stay!
