Arby's (SW Archer Road)

Youth sports teams base themselves here, and the courtyard gives kids somewhere to stretch out after a day in the car.

The one that feeds you twice: hot breakfast and an evening food spread, which covers a lot on a short trip. Two-room suites have a pull-out sofa.

Hot breakfast included and suites to choose from, a sensible pick when you're watching the budget.

A sit-down steak dinner, with chicken fingers or mac and cheese for the kid who won't touch steak.

All suites, each with a kitchenette and a partial divider, so there's a bit of separation for an early bedtime. Not a closed second bedroom.

One- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens, so a toddler can nap in one room while you make lunch in the other.
