Convenient to 95, this hotel is dated but works if you need a reasonable place for the night. Heat was very hard to adjust, but at least wasn't noisy. Breakfast is bare-bones - cereal, bread, and muffins.They don't even have real orange juice - it was Sunny Delite. You park right in front of the room, which is convenient if you're unloading a lot. Microwave and fridge in the room. Pets are OK. There was hardly anyone there, yet they placed other guests on either side of us - I don't know why hotels like to do that. Maybe easier for the maid. At first it seemed they would be noisy, but they were fine. « less

I had a very pleasant experience on my stay. Neat and clean room. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was nicely organized with quite few varieties. Not bad for the price. I did check the hotel on the website before booking my stay and read the pool was closed which was not a criterion to book my stay anyway. Was amazed how fast the wifi was. Needed extra towels and pillows which were provided to me with a call to front desk. Very quiet place even though it is by the interstate I 95. I would recommend this place to all travelers. « less

Coffe stained door card sleeve. No thanks for coming, NO enjoy your stay, I could go on and on,,,, do yourself a favor and drive another two miles to a NICE motel. Oh yea,,,, they offered me 10% off.

Paid $44 with tax for a night, the hotel rooms are dated but its clean. Has free wifi and in a quiet location, no partiers here like at other motels. Fridge and microwave in the room. A modern hotel will cost you another $20 a night so if your looking to stay on a budget this is the place. « less
