ECONOLODGE - LEBENON IN - stayed there recently



STEAK-N-SHAKE - LEBENON IN - stayed thre recently







CNG - MENOMONIE WI This is only the 2nd time I've fueled here, had problems both times, and hear the same from co-workers.
This time the compressor won't kick on so I can only get as much fuel as is in the tank, also did not print receipts. WES??? >>>> map

CNG - MADISON WI (I did not read the other reviews before driving past) I did not see any signage saying the CNG pump was open so I left. My co-worker was able to see the sign and get fuel.

CNG - ROCKFORD IL Great pump - separate CNG island, lots of pressure, part of a gas station so there are restrooms, etc. $ of fuel and in and out in under 15 minutes

CNG - FAIR OAKS Even with three of us fueling I was able to top out at 3,600# without any major delay.

CNG - S Great pump - easy on, easy off the freeway. Four pumps.

CNG - ATHENS AL Disappointed. Another station where the compressor doesn't kick on when it needs to. Emptied their reserve tank and left. Also does not take WES/Wright Express cards.

CNG - BIRMINGHAM AL Pump works good, screen almost impossible to see (I had to have someone else read it for me)

AMERCA'S BEST INN - BIRMINGHAM

The cheapest place around.

To me, it looks like another old Holiday Inn, based on the layout of the rooms. They say 'truck parking,' but it is just a big lot with lots of room. Nothing is 'dedicated' for trucks, tonight the place is almost empty (as is the Holiday Inn across the street), and there are some tight turns to get a rig in here without jumping the curbs.
The room itself seems clean enough, but there is a (usual sized) garbage can full of light bulbs in the room, plus trash and towels behind the door that didn't get taken out from a prior guest.
Internet doesn't work, AC does.
The only food in the area is the Hardee's next door and the KaBob House a block away. Same as last time in this area (Holiday Inn last time), no incident to prompt an uneasy feeling, but it's not an area I'll be taking a stroll in.
