The Days Inn by Military Circle is the plain, free-parking night. Parking is free, breakfast is a free light item with coffee, tea or juice, and there's a seasonal outdoor pool, about 6.6 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
It ties eight other hotels on 33 and leads them on breakfast, free parking and the alphabet — not on anything grander. Wyndham's page doesn't give check-in times, pets or a shuttle.
Wyndham calls it "Newly Renovated" and puts ORF "just three miles" away; the rooms have a microwave and fridge.
Price it against the Fairfield and La Quinta before you book, and call for the check-in time.

- A plain room with nothing to pay to park
- Free parking for the night
- A microwave for snacks
Look elsewhere if
- You want a full breakfast.
- You need check-in times before you book.
