Do crews need to stay at the best shows in town on a lay over??
Crews stay at hotels that agree to meet a long list of requirements, from airport transportation to cash advances to keeping maids away until late morning to serving breakfast in the afternoon, etc... Anything and everything necessary to avoid lack of appropriate rest. As ExSpeedBird said, it's usually the best staffed, best run hotels that can sign on, and that's where crews end up at.
