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!

Inexpensive. They've done a good job taking an old motel shell and updating it. That said, Kid in front of me at breakfast buffet literally took HALF of the sausage links. HALF. Like 10-15 giant sausages. Not lil small sausages... almost hot dog size. Took them back to his table where I saw his mom and dad had an entire plates (multiple) of eggs and potatoes. Just thoughtless people ransacking the buffet. Chrissy at front desk was super sweet and helpful.
