Yes, though they didn't have scrambled eggs, what's up with that? Did anybody try the waffle maker?
Oh, big for the place...

They did have FREE Fast-ethernet internet access.
My mom even liked it (and she's neurotic about cleanliness)

Sleep Inn:
Closer
Newer
Cleaner
Cheaper
Hot tub
Did I miss anything?
It's only 5 miles closer, but the road is SO FREAKING HORRIBLE right there at the Dan River plant it's a pleasure not to drive that section anymore.

It stinks...no 2 bed rooms available for the 14th, 15th and 16th nights. Looks like Comfort Inn & Suites will have to do. Thanks for the input, I'll certainly book early next time.

FYI:
Call the day before you want to stay because hotels usually have a few rooms they hold in reserve in case the large booking for the weekend needs a few more rooms. With NASA's situation, they let those rooms go Thursday afternoon. I didn't know they did this until Thursday when I attempted to add one more room and they had one available.
