Great spot for a breakfast sandwich, I loved it!
Located in a rest area/gas station off of 95 there was line when I walked in at 8:50 am.....Bostonians LOVE their DD coffee....almost like Tim Horton's in Canada......
The shop is just part of the gas station, but there were 3 very friendly and efficient ladies working there....I loved the fact that locals came in and they knew what to make them....it was like the corner store!
I had the sausage/egg sammy on a bagel and it hit the spot.....also had a cup of tea - and that was just like a cup of tea....
Egg-saus-chz sesame toasted 2.89
Md Orig Blend 1.86

No way I stay here again.
It is in a weird location and kind of hard to find off the highway.....I arrived around 8:15 pm and check in was a breeze...they had my folio prepared for me.....
Nothing special about the rooms, pretty standard with an OLD and SMALL tv, a couch, bed and desk to work at.....a/c is very cold and room looks dated...bathroom IS dated and smells like MOLD when you close the door.....
I really did not like the vent for the fan....I ran it all night to kill exterior noise.....and it blows right on the bed....speaking of the bed it was NOT COMFORTABLE.
I also thought it was expensive at $202 a night for room 373........
Room = $202 + 12.12 tax +11.51 tax = $225.63

Excellent spot for lunch....we took 2 customers with us on Tuesday around 12:30 pm and were immediately seated....in fact the place was pretty empty.....
Large list of specials for lunch along with GREAT service from Michelle (she was AWESOME with refilling drinks).......they first bring a basket of crispy bread sticks and then some kind of warm bread that was SO GOOD.....
I had the salmon and it was excellent....large piece of fish that was perfectly cooked.....I also sampled the Chicken Parm and it was OUTSTANDING....the ladies also liked their salads and pasta......
Great spot for a business lunch!

Easy airport to get in on a Wednesday around 4 pm....no lines in security and TSA people were actually friendly......
Sucks to return a rental as they are off site and it is a long bus ride....
Had a GREAT time drinking Margs at the Varsity Grill......
Horrible place to fly AA because they only have 1 gate.......

The service was good....food is marginal at best - pass on the nachos and chicken fingers were just ok (not worth $10)....the margs are Great but expensive (it is an airport after all)....in fact our waitress said after we had the second "I usually like to tell people after the second they are $13 each".....funny.....
Christie was a great server, and it was extremely funny to see them card anyone who ordered a drink....didn't matter if they were 70.......
Different review for the airport itself.....

It certainly seemed like I was bothering them when I stopped in for a quick breakfast sandwich around 9 am....they were setting up for huge catering jobs and I had to walk to the register to see if I could grab a bagel sandwich......
I know they were not happy to see me...and the breakfast was awful.
NO WAY I would ever go back....
Bagel sand
Cup of Tea
Total - $5.60* ***not worth it

Historic building with a GREAT LOBBY....with a free HHonors Happy Hour.....located right across the street from an excellent AAA baseball team and park (make sure to go) and 2 blocks from Beale Street - which I think is WAY over rated.....can be a scary walk back to the hotel later at night.....
Service was excellent at check in, I was in room #433 on a prepaid rate....room was large and bed was great....only issue was the bathroom is HOT - must be no a/c in there.....and the place is a little "beat up" but I believe that gives it charm.....
Didn't take advantage of the breakfast - its served in a TGI Friday that is attached......but I liked the place....very quiet at night!
Total - $136.50 + 12.63 + 6.83+2.32 taxes = $158.27

Disappointing......everyone suggest we come here...and we arrived after a great time at their AAA Baseball park around 9 pm and were seated next to the bar/lounge to the right....place itself is really neat and the service was good.....
However, I did not think the ribs were that good....dry with a smoky flavor....but something was missing and the 1/2 slab did not have that much meat on them......Tom had the catfish and that was really nothing special.....
Would not return!
