We wanted to stay at a reasonably priced hotel for one night on our way home from a trip to see family. We liked everything about avid hotel: close to I-95, room for laying out two suitcases, the blackout shades to keep outside lights from coming through the window, the minimalist decor, the cleanliness, the STEP-IN shower (instead of step-over tub), the filtered water dispenser right down the hall next to the ice machine, the quick and simply breakfast options, the 24-hour grind-and-brew coffee, and the VERY friendly staff! About the only thing that could be improved are the "Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches"--I was expecting it to be on an English muffin or similar but it was just egg and filling (I should have put it on toast!) We'll look for another avid hotel the next time we travel anywhere.
