I would advise you to get him on CouchSurfing.com. He sounds like a good fit for that bohemian, world-traveler personality!
That's a terrific idea and what a wonderful website they have! We have contacted a few folks and a few said they might be able to help, including one couple who speaks German!
Check out Extended Stay America Hotels. These will run you anywhere from $50 to $55 a night for a weeklong stay. I stayed in one on a ski trip to Utah, and it was a clean room at a very good price. I haven't looked at any in the Triangle area, but you could find one nearby where you live, stop by to see a room and see how it looks.
Good point --- I'd forgotten about those "suite" type of hotels with the kitchens and stuff. I'll call them immediately!
I'm sorry, but I'm dying laughing at the thought of sending 55+ "Frank" to a youth hostel!
I just have to say I've stayed at at "youth hostels" around the world and there's nothing "young" about them. It's about budget travelers having a clean, safe place to sleep for the night. If Frank can handle sleeping in a bunk bed in a room with a wide range of other travelers, he'll love it. And I'm almost certain he'll run into other German-speakers.

LOL! Thanks for a good laugh first thing in the morning!
