We will be leaving from St Louis and driving to Pensacola. We are wanting to stop about 2-3 hours outside of Pensacola to spend the night. Looking for safe area and middle of the road hotel such as holiday Inn etc.
On the way from St. Louis is a Holiday Inn Express in Meridian and a lot of hotels along I-20 which is three hours from Pensacola And there is also a Holiday Inn in Clanton between Birmingham and Montgomery.
