In my experience, one can't go wrong with good name hotels, my choice for budget accomidations is generally a off-brand marriott (courtyard, etc... whatever it is in Shelton). Runs $40, free breakfast (less than a tank of gas / )
My favorite, of course is the "mooch off your fam/friends" method, certainly call in a few nights from tourist season
