Did you call the Super 8 Castleton directly and ask for the IRI rate? I think queen suites (2 queen beds, pullout sofa, fridge, and microwave) are going for $69 + tax. I believe there are cheper rates for smaller rooms, as low as $49 a night for a single.

We've stayed at both the Super 8 and Candlewood. Both are clean and suitable hotels, if you're not looking for the Ritz. The Candlewood is slightly better quality but is also more expensive. It's also more of a standard hotel with a single building and room doors opening into interior hallways, while the Super 8 rooms are divided into a number of 2-story buildings with doors opening to the outdoors. The Super 8 has an outdoor pool and offers a complimentary continental breakfast.
