"conveniently located in the middle of nowhere"
excellent resturant and bar are attached!
try potatoe log
There is only one room that has it's own bathroom with shower, this one is a little more expensive (about $10 more) and is spacious with a queen sized bed. Otherwise the other rooms either have a half bath or have a shared bathroom in the hallway. (with the half bath you have to use the hallway bathroom to shower) All are very reasonably priced about $40-$50 a night.

140 Main Street Benton
Phone: 570-925-6556
Directions: It is hard to see, even in the small town of Benton, directly accross from JR's, mini mart.
spicy curries especially the pork stuffed chiles in a red coconut curry. But the Thai barbecued chicken (one half a chicken) is the best I ever ate. The spicy fried rice is great also. All food is cooked with Thai ingredients, not some american/thai blend

I read about this process (Life Process Reenginneering) and wanted to remember it. Ha! Like I really will get organized- impossible. But it gives me something to think about. Shit! Forget it! I'm bored already just with the name- on to more fun things! (Hmmm...could this be my problem?)
