If so, there isn't really much out there. Just a Burger King and a Subway. The area where the hotel is located is safe, however don't wander too far away from there. Also, if you're arriving on the 11pm flight, make sure the hotel will come pick you up. When I fly back in there at that time, there usually isn't a cab parked outside.

If you're coming in earlier, see if you can head downtown for dinner. Plenty of nice restaurants!

I did this flight myself for my 3 pts. Agreed, there really isnt much food around SpringHill Suites BTR Airport. Most upscale is an IHOP within walking distance. Some places deliver, too, but if you're looking for 'good' food, I agree - go downtown.
