Excellent room
Days Inn by Wyndham Calvert CityKing-sized bed room was huge, carpeted, spotlessly clean with no weird smells, and one of the nicest “budget hotel” rooms I’ve ever stayed in while driving cross-country with my dogs. Reasonable pet fee ($15 per dog). It was pouring rain the night we stayed so didn’t have much opportunity to check out the grounds. There is a Waffle House & gas station right across the street, though. I’d definitely stay here again & will look for Days Inn first when trying to book a room.

Great room for dogs
Quality Inn & Suites University AreaExtremely nice, welcoming front desk clerk. King-sized room was huge, with couch & coffee table, desk & chair, fridge & microwave. Clean & comfortable. Best feature was the large, grassy courtyard just outside the room. I could just open the door & let the dogs out. The area felt slightly sketchy, but we had no problems. Lots of fast-food restaurants nearby. I would definitely stay there again.

Ideal overnight stop with dogs
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham ColumbiaI stay at a lot of “budget” hotels and La Quinta is usually the best. This La Quinta in Columbia, MO is no exception. Nice big, clean room at a great price; and NO PET FEES. I also really appreciate the 12:00 checkout time, unlike most places which require checkout at 11:00. La Quinta Columbia is close to a mall and lots of basic restaurants, too. I thought it was perfect for an overnight stay.

Lots of extra charges
Extended Stay America Suites Kansas City AirportDecided to stay at ESA after too many nights on the road staying at cheap dives. Paid $25 per night PER DOG for my 2 small dogs, but I knew that in advance. At check-in they informed me I needed to pay an additional $100 deposit. Got to the room (which really was pretty nice) and discovered the “free wi-fi” is only good for checking emails. I wanted to stream Netflix so had to pay an additional $5.99 per day for faster internet. Seems like a lot of extra charges in the long run.

Great price, nice room
Burlington InnI have stayed at many inexpensive hotels while traveling across country and I was pleasantly surprised with Burlington Inn. From the outside it looks pretty rough, but the room was really nice, comfortable, and clean. I will definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Look elsewhere
La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Kansas City LenexaLa Quinta is sometimes a great choice but this one was really pretty bad. The halls & room were smelly & dirty. It’s not the hotel’s fault but there were a lot of loud residents that could be heard from the halls. The guy next door was angry, ranting & raving so loudly, I was a little worried about my safety. And having to pay an additional $30 for 2 small, older poodles is ridiculous.

Meh
Red Roof Inn Cookeville Tennessee TechPros: close to the interstate; no pet fees. These are both pretty important to me, hence the 3-star rating.
Cons: ridiculous policy requiring $100 CASH deposit for using a debit card. I said I’d pay for the room in advance with my debit card, so they’d have guaranteed payment. Nope. Desk clerk told me to walk next door to the bank & get cash. After driving 600 miles today, no thanks. I then tried to use my husband’s credit card. Nope. Bottom line, these people make it really hard to get a room for those of us who don’t like using our credit cards. Another con: the room is a dump. Stains on the bedspreads, gritty floors, lampshades askew, hair in bathtub. I’m usually not that picky & even give Motel 6 a good review most of the time. But I will not stay at Red Roof Inn ever again.
