Hotel near I-81, I-78 area

My family of three will be traveling from NC to NYC in a couple of weeks. I would like to stop somewhere near the Harrisburg/ Allentown area on the drive up as this would be a convenient stopping point. Can anyone recommend a good and inexpensive hotel in this area relatively near the interstate. Because this is just a stopping point on our trip, I do not care about what town it would be in or its proximity to any particular attraction. I would prefer one with a pool for my son to play in as our hotel in NYC will not have one.

Thanks,

Buff

You may want to look into the Sleep Inn in Carlisle, just to the west of Harrisburg. I%26#39;m local, so I%26#39;ve never stayed there, but it looks nice and well-maintained. There is a Cracker Barrel in the same parking lot, a Chilis close by, and a large shopping center just north. But the area is quiet and does not have the rundown feel of some of the exits to the east of Harrisburg, where truck stops seem to proliferate.

Good luck!
