Wingate Inn's name recently changed to Wingate by Wyndham, but this is not just a logo makeover. The chain is firing a serious shot across the bow of rivals, offering free wi-fi, breakfast, photocopies, faxes, and local calls. Plus they promise not to charge you a long distance access fee to use your own calling card from the room.

All impressive on its own, but we especially like this "Park & Fly" package they're running at the Wingate Sandston in Virginia, near the Richmond airport. After paying rates starting at $109 a night to stay, you get to leave your car for a week in their parking lot while you jet around elsewhere. Throw in a free airport shuttle and you're saving a bundle. You can opt to spend $20 more for your stay and leave the car two weeks instead--still far cheaper than the airport lots. You might have to phone them to get the advertised rate though: on the website we couldn't get a rate below $123 (before tax) to come up for this package.

We're not sure why this deal is one of only two on their website for the whole chain. (The other is a Crayola factory tour package in Allentown, Pennsylvania.) Hopefully more to come as they rev up the new moniker.
