For a budget place it was everything I needed. Really good breakfast in the morning, clean room, nice staff. The properties a bit old. But that’s why it’s affordable!

This hotel is a gem! Don’t waste time or money on name-branded hotels when you can stay in this beautiful hotel. The staff are always very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area attractions. The rooms are clean, the bed and pillows are soft and comfortable, and it’s quiet. It’s a pet-friendly hotel that provides rooms that are equally as good as the non-pet rooms, which is something that I appreciated. The rooms are as advertised in the literature and the pictures on the website. I absolutely loved this hotel, would recommend it to anyone, and I will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a bit dated; Toe room shower, bed, bathroom and such were all very clean. I stayed on the front side so there was noise from I-95 but it wasn't too bad.

This is a motel, not a hotel. It’s older but clean. Not as sound proof as newer hotels so we heard people coming down the stairs & outside. King size bed had 4 small pillows that definitely needed to be upgraded. Room was clean & tidy & staff was friendly & helpful. We left very early so we didn’t stay for breakfast.
