I only "visited" GFK on reserve--YWG/GFK/MEM so I can't honestly tell you what the town is like. The beautiful thing about places like GFK or Casper or Witchita is you are in and out--no traffic! I would much rather do an out-and-back to ICT than ATL.
Let's look at this from a hotel perspective though...the Comfort Inn
in Flint or the Concorde 
in CDG...hmmmm...

Every time i drive to the airport and see the 727, i always feel bad for the guys who are stuck at GFK. There is nothing to do there what so ever. Oh well i doubt it if someone goes to GFK more then three times, unless they really like it.

If you want to occupy some of your time on trips, drag a laptop with you and buy a SlingBox. They are unbelieveably bitchin'. I watched my TiVo in Almaty a couple of days ago.
