Re: Hotel block dilemma
I was put in a similar situation by my family and was able to get a Marriott for $109 a night . . . but it's also in May. I would be REALLY hesitant to put a budget motel on my invites. I think people might assume you picked 2 decent places and think they're choosing between a Sheraton and The Ritz Carlton and opt for the cheaper of the two due to not wanting to 'splurge'. At least, this would be my fear. People from out of state usually have NO concept of the prices around here. $100 a night might get them a 4 star hotel in their area . . .
I find that most 'motels' on LI are (sadly) pretty trashy for the most part. I am not familiar with the one you mentioned but if it's anything like the ones I'm picturing I wouldn't let any of my guests stay there. Has your FMIL seen the hotel you're looking at or read the reviews? Maybe that will give her a better idea. Good luck!
