Hotel for $5 a night?

The hubby is on a road trip with a friend and on their way to Reno today they called to see if I could get them a cheap hotel in Reno.  They said, "You should be able to find something for $30."  Well...I topped that!  I found one for $4.87!!  Can you believe it?  And it is right there in the middle of town and a hotel I have heard of (The Sands).  I had to book it because I couldn't believe it.  The guys say that it is fine...I hope that they take pictures because I need to see what $5 can get you in Reno.  $5, seriously.  If I hadn't made the reservations myself I wouldn't believe it.
