I enjoy that short drive in the morning. Got a coffee, thinking about the coming day and what I need to work on.

It does make it handier if you need gas, ice, munchies etc. in the morning but if you are at the Chateau you can go get a shower in the middle of the day.

Yep. Typical day is up at 6:20 at IotL, out the door at 6:45, Starbucks at 6:50, leave Starbucks at 7:00, leisurely pace down Sebring Parkway, add a little time if school is open, at track by 7:25.

I'm not a big breakfast guy but this certainly works for me!

Picture of the smoke detector in my room when I checked in at the Quality Inn for the PCA race in February.

I guess the person before me wanted to smoke in the room but how did housekeeping miss this? Room smelled faintly of smoke and a little musty.

Residence Inn is nice and close to to grocery markets, restaurants and other suburban shopping. About 20 mins from track.

I am in agreement with this and all the other points about the Inn. I think that short drive is good to sort of "get you going" in the morning. Glad to see it is still a favorite. It really has been WAY too long since I was at Sebring.

Nice. We have stayed at some sketchy places in and around Sebring during popular times, but never had a plastic bag around the smoke detector. That is an accomplishment sir!
