<p>We are doing the whirlwind driving loop around the Ivies. There will be almost no time to spend in the hotel room; it will be the kind of trip where we get in late one place and get up early to check out and head for the next stop. As a result, we don’t really need any luxury hotels. Has anybody stayed at any of the various “inn and suites” hotels that are okay and within a reasonable driving distance of any of the schools? Any suggestions will be most appreciated; Expedia is overwhelming me.</p>
<p>Hotels.com is good and also you might seek out ChoiceHotels for you can probably rack up a free nite or so with the trip you are making. In Philly there are plenty of options. Cheap</p>
<p>one really cool hotel is the Inn at MIT, they have lunar lander equip in the lobby, but, it probably falls into the lux category.</p>
