Hope this question doesn't start any "territorial" conflicts, as I'm just trying to help a provider friend from another state find a weekend hotel (safe, no LE hassles, cheap, etc.)
She is coming in to visit friends during the World Series here, but would like to earn a little cash also. Can anyone suggest some general locations? (both as good places, as well as places to avoid). She's trying to stay in the north Dallas area, btw.
I would like some specific hotel names, but understand if you need to PM those to me. Hopefully, under $50 per night.
Thanks in advance!
GO RANGERS !!

She could use Hotwire or Priceline to get a good price.
Avoid Irving, but assume that LE could contact her wherever she stays.

Make HOTWIRE your friend!
North Dallas/Galleria Area or Downtown Dallas is Awesome.
Agreed w/Honey, stay away from Irving as well as Arlington (Six Flags Area)
Good Luck

The problem that I see is the rate that she wishes to pay. Gone are the days that you can get a three and half star hotel for $37 bucks like I used to a few years back by using priceline.
And if you go the route of two stars hotels in the north Dallas area, you'll end up in a few unsavory places that I wouldn't suggest that anyone stay in.
A friend of mine recently did priceline for a very cheap price and got in that La Quinta on LBJ and Coit. I'll freely admit to being a hotel snob and I guess that it would alright ... but that location is horrible! (My opinion, only!)
So if she were willing to spend a bit more for lodging, she would have a more comfortable stay and probably get a better client base. But who knows?
There may be some properties having some specials.
I would have suggested off of Market Center close to downtown but it does seem that women prefer that poontang alley area off of the tollway.
Good luck and I hope that she has fun in Dallas.

@ HoneyRose, Berkleigh & Elisabeth Whispers (and the PM's from others): Thanks for the "insider info". Gals like you, with your willingness to help, are just another reason why our little community is so great.
