What seems at first to be a run of the mill, potentiallly lower end establishment, turned out to be well worth the value in convenience, cleanliness, with a great staff. Definitely recommend if you are in the area, especially for a shorter stay.

The location is perfect for Fairfield University events. We had a great stay for the age of the hotel. It’s in great shape and we really appreciate it the maid service the free bottle, water, and the fridge in our room. I would recommend staying here.

Outstanding. Inordinately clean, comfortable and well-maintained. Looks like fairly recent top-to-bottom renovations of rooms and facilities have turned what is obviously an older motel-style facility into a modern, welcoming option.

This was just a lovely hidden gem for us to stumble upon for an impromptu night away. Clean rooms, quiet, lovely staff, and convenient to many restaurants or local beaches. Just a lovely experience. Thank you!
