For those unfamiliar with the area, I can recommend another hotel:
Hampton Inn & Suites Youngstown-Canfield
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...h&z=14&iwloc=A
6690 Ironwood Boulevard
Canfield, OH 44406
(330) 702-1900

This hotel is less than 2 years old and is about 7 miles closer to the track. There are several amenities within spitting distance. You're simply at the west end of the same commercial strip (Route 224) that the other hotel is on. Right next to the hotel are: Inner Circle Pizza (great pizza, pasta, wings, and adult beverages), Bob Evans, Ruby Tuesdays, Harry & Jean's (a nice upscale restaurant & bar with a sorta Humprey Bogart feel to it).

Within a few hundred yards: Zenobia (a Middle Eastern restaurant with authentic and excellent Syrian cuisine), Wendy's, Subway, Dunkin Donuts (you know you want their coffee), Perkin's, Arby's, Belleria Pizza, Sheetz, BP, Giant Eagle (for those with points toward gasoline!), Canfield Auto Spa (self serve or drive-thru car wash)

Also within a stone's throw is Canfield Auto Repair, a very trusted MOPAR mechanic who's also been racing since the 60's. (Just in case you have trouble!)
