Hmmm. Depends on whether I'm making a local stop or an overnight.

For either:
* AWOS/ASOS
* Multiple runways to help with windy conditions (crosswind challenged)
* Conveinent gas pumps at a reasonable price (price does not always equal value)
* Restrooms that are reasonably clean

For overnights:
* Courtesy Car
* Decent hotels close
* Hangar available
* Commercial service closeby in case we get weathered in (VFR only)

For example: Scottsbluff, NE (BFF) and Alliance, NE (AIA) are two of our overnight stops when we make the Texas to Montana migration in the spring and the return in the fall. Nice folks, choice of runways to handle the strong plains winds, commercial service (B1900s to DEN) if we get stuck or can only make it part way, clunker but free crew cars and hotels in town and plenty of hangar space. We had to leave the airplane at AIA for three weeks one year due to weather and work schedules; they hangared it for about $100.

GLE remains one my of favorite fuel stops north of the DFW area because of good runways, AWOS, good fuel price and nice bathrooms.
