discounthero for word of this improbably good deal. The first 800 people each night starting at 8pm EDT from 8/8/08 through 8/15/08 can make $8.88 room reservations for all participating Super 8 motels in the U.S. and Canada.Details: http://discounthero.blogspot.com/2008/08/super-deal-at-super-8.html
There's a Super 8 in Ithaca, so if you're planning on visiting before the end of the year, you can try to get a cheap room!
