I've stayed at this hotel several times in the last two years and each stay has been great. From the clean rooms, to the Super breakfast there is nothing that I can complain about, especially due to the price per night. As soon as you step in to check-in, you are greeted by a smile, you are given the key to a clean room that has clean soft towels, soft pillows and enough toiletries. After a relaxing sleep, you wake up and head to the breakfast room where eggs, waffles, sausage, coffee, cereal are among some of the food waiting to be consumed. Give it a try and enjoy your time at this hotel that is within 2 minutes from the I-95 expressway. I'll be back!
