We then chose Country Inn and Suites that was next door. We'll never travel i95 directly back to New England again. Between DC, Baltimore and i95 in Ct., it was white knuckle driving. The above route with 84, 81 etc is more relaxed driving.

It’s a challenge to find decent pet friendly hotels/motels. With our dog we prefer motels where you can back your vehicle up to the door. It sucks having to bring the dog through a lobby and up stairs and or an elevator. We have found Best Western and La Quinta to typically be good options, both Quality and Comfort Inns are usually not too bad either. Avoid Days Inns, Red Roof Inns, and Motel Six if at all possible, these are typically total dumps. Happy travels : )
