Hello,
I will be driving from Austin, TX to Atlanta, GA beginning Monday June 26th. I would like to leave in the early evening and would like to knock out a few hours, spend the night somewhere then complete the drive the next day. Realistically I plan on leaving around 7:30 to 8:00 and driving 4 to 5 hours that night depending on where that puts me. I figure that way I am missing rush hour out of Austin and through Houston. Any recommendations for a good safe place with rooms that do NOT open to the exterior would be appreciated.
