Good Motel for the price
Older motel, clean and friendly staff. On our last night, we had no hot water, but it was resolved by morning.

Come here first!
This place is awesome. Very clean rooms and super plush beds. Property is immaculate and maintained daily. Front desk is extremely welcoming. All staff working here have been professional and friendly. There is a dog park on site to let your dogs run around! Hot tub and pool are also well maintained. They even have coin laundry available which is a huge bonus. Rooms are affordable too. Property is very safe with no rowdy construction workers or drug dealers partying in the parking lot like the other hotels nearby. Will be my first choice when staying in the area.

An Excellent No-Name Experience
The best value experience on our trip, including the breakfast with the best quality ingredients.
Furnishings are somewhat dated, but in very good condition.
Since the property abuts busy I-95, choose a room on the side of the pool.

It is an older hotel which has been kept up nicely. It was very clean. I was pleasantly surprised. The pool area looked nice and it had a grill. Didn't use either because I was just passing thru.

Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived in the room, it smelled of dust. The shower was good. The Wi-Fi is open and without a password. They didn't tell us that breakfast time on Mondays was until 9 am and on weekends it was until 10. We informed reception that mold was starting to form near the toilet.
