Depending on location, perhaps, $100 won't get you far. Most
near-large-airport hotels charge well over $100, especially on short
notice, plus you need to factor in transportation to/from the airport as
well.
Worse, if you only have 5-6 hours until you need to be back at the
airport, you'll spend most of it finding a hotel, traveling, checking
in, etc, whereas a bit of sleep at the airport may well be more restful
then the above.
