[QUOTE=RayRaynor;5729975]I want to start saving some $ on hotels. Does anyone have any suggestions for short stays or cheap hotels in the Southfield or Redford area?

It's getting ridiculous to spend $70 for a couple of hours with my girl (s) every week. I've been doing Choice hotels and using points to get a free room from time to time, but I'm thinking finding a decent short stay would be better for my wallet.[/QUOTE]I know what you mean. The short stay places are good enough for a "short stay". (Note, the dollar amounts here are normal, not the stupid code some think is "cool").

EZ-Rest Motel. Telegraph, just south of 9-Mile (Southfield). 3 hours (anytime) $28 + $2 key deposit. I've been there many times. No problems.

(Forgot the name) on Grand River. Few blocks EAST of Telegraph (Detroit). Last July it was 3 hour $30 + $5 key deposit (don't know if it's only certain hours). Been there once. No problems.

Dorchester Motel. Grand River between Inkster and Beech Daly (Redford). I stopped in to ask, but never stayed there. They have a different set up, where you can stay "most" of the afternoon for a reasonable rate (don't remember the exact hours or the price).

Bahama Motel. Grand River just north of 8-Mile (Farmington Hills). Last July it was $40-45 I think.

Out of curiosity, I stopped at a few other nearby places and they were in the $40 - $50 range. None of the "chain" motels that I checked offered short stays.

Relatively clean, at least sheets and towels are. $ 45 for a short stay, 3 hours.

Look at the trailer parks in south Warren.

A lot of times trailers are free or very inexpensive. A couple of mongers could do a no-frills trailer remodel in 1 weekend. 10 gal. HW tank. A microwave is fine. Use spray adhesive and glue cheap carpet to the walls.

The place will need utilities but they don't have to be on all the time. A WiFi enabled space heater fixes that. Dial-up the heat from an app on the way over.

I did a little googling and found lot rent with the etc. Might be less than $400.00/ mo right off 8 Mile,. That's $50.00 a week.

Thank you. I always go to Garden Inn & Suites in Fraser. It is a nice place, but trying to find something on the west as well. I also remember a senior discussing about Hilltop Model in Redford and Fellows Creek Lodge in Canton, but haven't tried those places yet.

The neighbors have nothing to do except look out their window all day and they get nosy and figure out what you're doing. What I assume was an ex-street walker that lived on the street even approached me and asked if I wanted company when I was driving in.

Hi though the good Rx and Kroger's you need a prescription?

Sound be safer than those India websites.

[QUOTE=Jp1225;5727111]Download GoodRx. Can get 100 x 50 mg from Kroger for less than $20 no insurance. That's less than 20 cents a pill. Not sure why guys pay 10-50 times as much? I had a script for 120 pills and it was like $23 I believe.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=EDPills;5733009]What about a treehouse?[/QUOTE]If a tree house is what comes to mind for you. It's not a private residence like a trailer in South Warren.

Separately, I did find an Eastpointe condo right off the expressway. Ask is 44 K. The Googler says P&I is $210 with zero down. I don't know the HOA details.

The monger can pay hourly motels or use that money to build an equity position in an Eastpointe condo. Mongers need investments.

Most inner ring suburbs have condos for under 50 K.

On a side note it's not a good idea to use notels in Detroit. Pay the extra 5 or 10 bucks and avoid the dope boys and gangsters.

Look at me. I'm taking advice from someone named "CrackHoreLover" . LOL.

So when the provider doesn't do outcalls, or isn't on the east side, how does this device work? If one isn't seeking providers that are in the 300+ price range, there are mobility issues for many of the lower-end providers. They generally don't own or can't afford transportation. The higher-end providers usually choose better hotels, and do incall.

Going to guess that there are better investment vehicles available to "mongers" than lower-end condos in areas with low appreciation rates.

How often are mongers using hourly motels? If the price of short-stay notels is an impediment, than the hobby is too expensive for the individual, not the room rate.

[QUOTE=EDPills;5733009]What about a treehouse?[/QUOTE]If he's trying to save money, maybe a tent or sleeping bag might be better? Lumber prices ar still fairly high, and depending upon how luxurious he wants to make his tree house, it could be pricey.
