[aeronautic1]

Okay fellow babies, how about a thread about BEST/WORST layover hotels. I'll start...

WORST: Red Roof (Roach) Inn, HOU.
Holiday Inn, TEB. "World Famous Pickle Bar"

BEST: Hotel Del Rey, MROC (San Jose, C.R., wait for it... wait for it!!!)

My opinions so far:

Best:
Hampton Inn & Suites DFW North, Grapevine, TX
Park Cities Hilton, Dallas, TX
Marriott Griffen Gate, Lexington, KY
Crowne Plaza Ravinia, Atlanta, GA
Embassy Suites, Walnut Creek, CA
Sheraton Downtown, Hamilton, ONT
Peabody, Memphis, TN
British Colonial Hilton, Nassau, Bahamas

Worst:
Robert Treat Travelodge, Newark, NJ
Jameson Inn, Douglas, GA
Holiday Inn Select Perimeter, Atlanta, GA
Holiday Inn Express JFK, Jamaica, NY
AmeriSuites at Hobby, Houston, TX

My criteria are decent hotels with clean rooms, comfortable beds, safe neighborhoods, reasonable prices, close proximity to decent dining, etc. Instant "F" for crummy mattresses, no cable, crappy neighborhoods, no heavy drapes.

Your mileage may vary.

Motel 6 in KMTV(Martinsville, VA). Holy $hit what a bad hotel . Got there at about 7-8 pm local, 1 bar open in the whole town(in the only other hotel in town) a mile away. 80$ a night w/ a "continental" breakfast that included coffee(thank god) and little generic(sp?) danishes. Oh yea, one more thing, Yellow Cab did not take credit card!!!!!!

See Ya'all FD75

Best:
Westin at HXD (Hilton Head Island)
btw~the beds ARE heavenly!

Worst:
The Briar Inn at LWB (Lewisburg, WV)
when I asked what there was to do around there I was told, and I quote, "there is a Bob Evans being built." We ended up driving 3 hours to Richmond, VA to watch the nascar race.
