Regina, Thanks for sharing the information with us. It's very helpful to folks who are not used to staying there. I did have to laugh, though, when you mentioned the stop light and "getting in and out" ! :-) Being from hectic traffic as in the Atlanta area, Batesville's traffic is a breeze! But, it is nice to know that they have put a traffic light up there. We have stayed twice at the Best Western, then when the Ramada was opened up, we began to stay there all the time. I am excited over the idea of a new motel now, with the opening of the Holiday Inn Express. Do you know if the "Express" means that they don't have a pool? I am always excited to see the new businesses and growth each time that we visit Batesville. And, of course, you! ;-) Jean At 08:39 PM 3/8/00 -0600, you wrote: >Actually, Batesville has four fairly nice hotels now ('course I've not >stayed in any of them....).
