Baymont Inn & Suites Green Bay, Green Bay, Wisconsin

This one was both found by us at the blog, and coincidentally also submitted by reader Linda! This one can be easily coupled with the other Wisconsin BRG that we just posted - they're only one hour apart! This hotel is located in the city of Green Bay, on the south end of the bay of the same name, roughly 2 hours north of Milwaukee or Madison.

Days Inn Pittsburgh International Airport, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Days Inn Pittsburgh International Airport, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Here's another Pittsburgh BRG (seems to be the city of the day), this one being contributed by reader Kyle. This one takes advantage of the fact that Expedia doesn't charge extra person fees for occupancy over two. In the past, Wyndham used to deny any occupancy over two, even if Expedia did not charge extra person fees, because Expedia clearly says "These rates are based on double occupancy". According to Kyle, things may have changed. Kyle tells us that this one is a simple and easy BRG approval.

Los Angeles, Hawthorne, California, Ramada Plaza Hotel LAX

Los Angeles, Hawthorne, California, Ramada Plaza Hotel LAX

Here's a pretty decent Ramada I've stayed at once before that I feel deserves more credit than is given by some previous guests on Tripadvisor. While the hotel is a bit older, it provided me with everything I needed and was clean and comfortable. It's very convenient to Los Angeles International Airport - only 3 miles away. The 405 and 105 freeways are near the hotel, but no traffic noise was heard.

Hotel Address: 5250 W. El Segundo Blvd. Hawthorne, CA 90250

The hotel is minutes away from the Midwest Convention Center, Summerfest Grounds, Miller Park Stadium, Milwaukee County Zoo, Harley Davidson Plant, Mitchell Park Domes, Miller Brewing Company, and State Fair Park.
