I only stayed for 1 night and it was fine for that. It's like a throwback to roadside hotel from years past. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The guy at the front deck was polite and welcoming. For a basic no frills hotel it was good.

The winter season pricing is great. It’s very convenient to interstate 95 and a grocery store. Several good restaurants are close as well as a coffee shop. The room was basic but clean and quiet which is what we needed. Next time in the area we will stay again for the location and value.

Property was immaculate. The staff was kind and professional. They even called to check in after you’ve been in the room for a little while. Make sure everything is perfect and to wish you an excellent day. What a great experience I chose this place mainly based on price, but it was an exceptional facility!
