Any terminal that doesn't have accommodations within walking distance from the motel for us alcoholics is a bad place to be. Don't recall of ever staying at such a terminal thus far.
worse ran terminal Chicago
Miami also has the Ramada as an option. It's easier to park the sleepers there. It's where I stayed on Fridays because of the parking. Ft Myers is ok. Nice Mexican restaurant just north of hooters about a half block.Jacksonville,just pay for the room.Its about 35.00 bucks at Stars Rest motel.Not exactly 5 star unless you compare it to bunk room.
Orlando,bunkroom is ok.Separate building from terminal near back of property.Can get loud sometimes because of adjoining business.Not the best of neighborhoods either.
West Palm,nice decent hotel,located just west of 95.
Miami,surprisingly nice Days Inn.Though its right across street from Miami Intl,which can be loud at times.
Never laid over at Tampa or Ft Meyers,though Tampa has the same setup as Orlando and Ft Meyers is a motel.
These are just my opinions,one mans trash is another mans gold.
Yea,dont forget your towels and linens.

I think you'll like Tampa. It's one of the few bunks I stayed at. Rooms on the backside are the best because the tractor parking is next to the rooms facing the parking lot. If you make a left out the gate and another left. There's a cuban deli about 3 or 4 miles with great Cuban sammiches and cuban coffee. You'll see clearly why I liked the motel there if those bunks where ever full
My sleeper only idled 3 minutes when I had it. I thought the mayor has been evicted from the bunks 5 years ago.If ya gotta sleeper, sleep in the truck and leave it running, unless Eddie S. is in the area... Then you'll get called in on the carpet.... The Mayor has to watch over the Rob's money....
Pretty good chance of getting one out of Athens. You just plug your inverter into the cigarette lighter but you won't need a fridge and a microwave with the money you'll be making. That stuff is for those real truck drivers making peanuts. I'll let you know where all the best restaurants are from this side of the Mississippi and all of Texas, Louisiana Maine and many others. I am da man. I don't give a rats ass what Stark says.What's the chances of a solo getting a sleeper? If you get one will they hardwire a power inverter in it? I've got a fridge and microwave that I could put to good use!
