I'm not sure if I make a mistake or not, but I booked a room for less
then 60USD right now...

Here: http://www.qualityinn.com/ires/en-US/html/RoomAvailability?hotel=TX787
Found it via: http://www.choicehotels.com/

Cheers, Tobias

PS: and please tell me if I should cancel it because it is a fake and
one has to sleep under a tunnel or so...
