The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-80 in Davenport offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-80 in Davenport offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-80 in Davenport offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord.

About Bettendorf IA
 

About Moline
 

About I-74
I-74 begins at exit 298 of I-80, slices southward between Davenport and Bettendorf, then crosses the Mississippi River at Moline. It bisects Moline, crosses the Rock River at the Quad Cities Airport and meets the eastern terminus of I-280. There it makes a left, picking up where I-280 left off, and re-joins I-80 about 8 miles to the east. Here I-80 resumes its eastward progress towards Chicago and points east and I-74 turns south, then heads southeast passing through Indianapolis and terminating in Cincinnati.

Davenport ("Quad Cities")

I-80 darts through the northern reaches of Davenport and totally misses the other three of the Quad Cities. This is great for the non-stop travelers - in a hurry to get "there' with a minimum of stops. If, however, you want to really enjoy your trip, you've got to do what you can't on a plane - stop and enjoy the many fun places of America.
  Unfortunately, getting around - and finding things - in Davenport can be quite a challenge for a stranger. Many streets just start, go a few blocks, then stop to continue elsewhere. There are many 'main drags' (US-6, US-61, US-67, Locust Street, etc., which are well marked and easy to follow - and can take you on some great tours of the Cities. Also, I-280 slips around the southern reaches of the Cities, past Milan and the Airport, connecting with I-80 where it strikes out to the east again. I-74 can take you from I-80 in the north down through Bettendorf, across the Mississippi River, through Moline joining I-280 at the Airport. We have always found the Quad Cities most interesting and urge you to take a couple hours to get acquainted.

Riverfront Drive-by -  If you'd like to drive along the Mississippi (it can be beautiful (especially at sunset).
  From I-80 eastbound, take exit 290 and follow I-280 to exit 6. Exit and turn left at the end of the off-ramp. Follow US-61 (w. River Drive) to Marquette Street (about 5 miles). Turn right and go 2 blocks to Biederbecker Drive. Turn right (the only option) and follow Biederbecker along the Mississippi, under the bridge, past LeClair Park, to its end at S. Main Street. Turn left, go one block and you are back to US-61 (and, now, also US-67). Note: the visitors center is one block west (to your left) at 102 S. Harrison Street. Turn right on the US-67 and continue east to I-74. To get back to I-80 take the southbound on-ramp of I-74. At exit 13 you will encounter the I-80 interchange and can either stay on I-74 or get back on I-80 eastbound.
