Why Staying Just Off I-94 Makes All the Difference

May 24, 2025

When you’re planning a road trip, a business stopover, or a weekend getaway, location matters—and not just the city you visit, but exactly where you stay. If you're heading through or staying in Hudson, Wisconsin, there's one major detail that savvy travelers look for: a hotel just off I-94. That simple choice can save you time, reduce stress, and make your entire trip more convenient. Here’s why choosing a motel like Hudson Royal Inn, located just off Interstate 94, can transform your travel experience.

1. Easy On, Easy Off — Maximize Convenience

When you're traveling by car, whether on a cross-country road trip or a quick weekend escape from the Twin Cities, easy highway access is everything. Choosing a stay just off I-94 means:


  • No confusing detours
  • No long city drives
  • Minimal traffic lights
  • Fast check-in and check-out


Hudson Royal Inn is located at 1509 Coulee Road, just a quick turn from I-94. Within minutes, you're parked in front of your room, unloading your bags, and ready to rest or explore.

Bonus: You're close enough to reach the highway in under 2 minutes— just on the north side of I-94 on the frontage road.


2. Save Time for What Matters

Travel time adds up fast, especially when your hotel is tucked deep in a city. Staying off I-94:


  • Saves 15–30 minutes navigating traffic
  • Gets you back on the road faster in the morning
  • Makes it easier to plan around meetings, events, or family visits


Whether you’re catching a wedding, attending a business meeting, or heading to the St. Croix River, cutting out the extra drive time can mean more time doing what you came for.


3. Cut the Stress, Not the Comfort

Let's face it—driving in unfamiliar towns, especially at night or in bad weather, isn’t fun. GPS mistakes, wrong turns, and complicated city routes can all add unnecessary stress. But when your accommodations are right off the highway, it's simple and straightforward.


And at Hudson Royal Inn, you're not sacrificing comfort for that convenience. Guests enjoy:


  • Clean, Quiet Deluxe & Standard rooms
  • Free Wi-Fi, DirecTV, microwaves, fridges, and more
  • A quiet location, especially in our Deluxe building set back from the road


It’s the perfect mix of easy access and restful sleep.


4. Budget-Friendly Without Compromise

Hotels in downtown areas or trendy locations often come with inflated rates and pricey parking. Staying just off I-94 at Hudson Royal Inn lets you:


  • Avoid downtown price tags
  • Park for free right outside your door
  • Save on extras like resort fees or valet service


This is especially helpful for families, small groups, or travelers staying more than one night. You get excellent value without giving up quality or cleanliness. After all, we are the "Highest Rated Roadside Motel in the Area".


5. Ideal for Extended Stays & Business Travel

Are you in town for work, relocation, or helping family nearby? The Hudson Royal Inn can accommodate longer stays and practical comfort in mind.


Our rooms include:


  • Sealy Posturepedic Beds – prioritize a good nights' sleep
  • Kohler Showerhead - it's the wake-up call that'll make your day
  • Microwave & Fridge – Save on meals and snacks
  • Free, Secured Wi-Fi – Ideal for working remotely or keeping up with emails
  • Tiny TVs with HD DirecTV – Relax after a long day and catch up on news


And with local shops, gas stations, and dining just minutes away, it’s easy to settle in for a few days or more.


6. Explore Hudson with Ease

While you’re right off I-94, you’re still only minutes from Hudson’s best attractions. Staying at Hudson Royal Inn means you're close to:


  • Downtown Hudson – Enjoy riverfront restaurants, shopping, and events
  • Willow River State Park – Just a 10-minute drive for hiking and waterfalls
  • St. Croix River – Take a boat cruise, walk the shoreline, or visit nearby marinas
  • Troy Burne Golf Club – For golfers looking to hit the links


And after a day out, it’s a short, stress-free drive back to your cozy room.


7. Perfect for Last-Minute & Road Trip Stops

If you're on a long drive and need a reliable place to stay, being just off the interstate makes Hudson Royal Inn a convenient, last-minute option. No city traffic, no long waits, no hassle.


You’ll get:

  • Fast check-in
  • Free, Secured Wi-Fi
