we travel frequently between NC and Central NY. We've tried numerous hotels near the halfway point, and this is the one we like best. It's not the newest. It shows signs of wear. But it's clean, has comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, the staff is friendly, it's convenient to I-81, has good coffee and waffles for breakfast, and there's a Cracker Barrell next door. We've already booked 3 more stays at this Travelodge for this summer.
