Hampton Beach, Rt 1A Purple Urchin, upstairs at Casino. Parking is an issue. But, a great location, overlooking the Seashell stage, ocean beach, and all the action. Bar side, hang over the rail. People watch, Good pub food. Restaurant side excellent menu. Ginger seared scollops over lobster brown mustard rice is my favorite. Prices not bad for view/location.

North Hampton, Rt 1 Al's Seafood. Broiled or fried, top quality products. B & W only. Great bang for buck, downside is gravel parking lot.

Sanbornville, Rt 109 @ Rt 153. Poor Peoples Pub. Good value, decent food. B & W only.

Ossippee, Rt 16 @ Rt 25. Yankee Smokehouse. Not bad Barby !

Above North Conway in Intervale on Rt 16 Scarecrow Pub. Neat MC sculpture out front. Food's average, good value.

North Woodstock, Rt 3 Woodstock Inn & Brew Pub. Best place in NH. Great Inn, awesome breakfast included. Top quality food, at reasonable prices. Maple Sesame Scollops are to die for !

Meredith, Rt 3, just north of Rt 104, Harts Turkey Farm. Home style food. Huge portions. Not cheap, but good value for volume.

Guilford, Rt 11 @ 11B, Patrick's Pub. Excellent Pub menu, won't kill your wallet !

The Lodge at Copperhead in Blairsville, GA is fantastic. Great lodging with everything from low $ bunks, motel style rooms to cabins that sleep 6. Great bar and excellent restaurant. Google Map of the location is here.

Bob-Bon Inn at Kanab, UT. The are changing the name sometime to the Willows. If you want a little more room get the 2 bed - rooms. If you don't mind a smaller room they do have them but they are smaller.

Robbers Roost Motel, 325 West Main Street Green River, UT 84525
(435) 564-3452. I like small old motels and though this one seems a bit rundown from the ouside it's very clean and quaint and the young couple that run it are very nice. Plus there are nice views of the giant mesas and a very good steak house in town.

Curleys' Redwood Lodge Crescent City, California.

Across the street from the ocean but no views.

Great for a bike trip. Has covered parking for all rooms, walk to restaurant. Rooms are large and the whole motel (about 30 rooms) was made from one tree!

**schoeney** · 08-11-2012, 09:45 AM

I am not usually a big fan of chain hotels but the Holiday Inn Express in Kalispell Montana is a cut above most. Cater to bikes, clean rooms, nice gas fire pit for gathering. They provide rags, space and wash down area for bikes.

**schoeney** · 08-11-2012, 09:47 AM

Benny's Colville Inn, Colville WA.

Owner rides and welcomes bikes. Clean and well laid out. Parking in front of your room and walk to eating.

If you get to Hollister CA about 5 miles from Corbin is a burger joint called RUNNING ROOSTER. $ 14 Cheese Burgers. Let me tell you something, I'd pay $20 if they asked. I compare all burgers to theres. Plus their Garlic fries are insane. It's off San Felipe in the downtown area.

For all of you Motocampers going to east Tennessee, Hunts Lodge in Tellico Plains is A-1 Top notch!! Check them out @ www.huntslodge.com. Great rates ($12 for 1, $18 for two people), excellent showers (they provide shampoo, body wash), washer/dryer (detergent/bleach provided), coffee maker w/all condiments, boot dryer, styrofoam coolers loaned (with free ice!!), gas grill provided, fire pit for everyone, maps for great day rides, only one mile to start of Cherahola Skyway, a little over an hour to Deals Gap/Tail of the Dragon. They also give 50% off to all active military personnel. They also have five small cabins with a/c and heat. I guarantee you won't regret staying there.

Kickstand lodge campground $18.00 a night plus $5. for your pillion. They are a quick hop from the tail of the dragon on the Tn/NC border. They fix a communal dinner if they have enough riders. Cost is what you can pay. The bath house provides towels and they have a few cabins if you want to stay with your camping buddies but not camp. www.kickstandlodge.com.
