We had a decent stay - the room was quiet (even though it is an outside door) and I always find a decent breakfast bar to be a convenient thing. The only issue we had was that when we checked in, we found that the room smelled. Note that it is a "pet-friendly" hotel, so it was likely. When we called the front desk to see if we could be switched to another room, they said they were booked solid and there were no other rooms available. The staff did offer to credit a portion of our room charge - I'll see if they did when we get time. Being late at night and having small children, we decided to put up with it - but had we had more time, we would have decided to go to another hotel. In the end, we slept fine, but it was not a very nice smell. This was, however, the only negative thing about our stay.

Positives: Friendly staff, stocked breakfast setup, convenient and fairly quiet location, quiet room.

Negatives: Our room smelled like urine (probably a pet had urinated on the carpet).

My stay was pleasant the room was reasonably clean and the staff was helpful.

Positives: It was convenient.

Negatives: I can't really say there was anything I didn't like.

It met our needs. We were traveling on business and needed a place right on the highway. It has good places to shop and to eat within 2 miles and filling stations even closer. If we pass that way again, we'd stay there again. Our only concern was why we were literally placed on the far corner in the back on the upper level when the hotel was by no means full. Not with standing, the staff was friendly and our stay was enjoyable.

Positives: The Continental breakfast was very good; not just coffee and a bagel.

Negatives: Being stuck on the upper floor in the far corner when the hotel wasn't near full.

This hotel is conveniently located off of i95 and the staff is very hospitable. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I traveled with a small dog and this hotel is the nicest of any of the pet friendly hotels I have stayed at.

Positives: The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly.

Negatives: The stay wasn't long enough to find something to dislike.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 09 Jul 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

It was a nice place to stop for the night along our vacation route. It was neat and clean. Pet fee $10/night.

Positives: I liked that there was a refrigerator and microwave in the room at no extra charge.

Negatives: Limited parking. The lot was packed!

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 14 Jun 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Very unfriendly staff at check in. Shabby room, dirty bathroom, terrible TV reception. Seemed pricey for level of service.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Bad attitude by staff with exception of the lady who provided breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Nov 2006 rated 8 out of 10.

The workers we very nice, and went out of there way to get me into a room as soon as they could, even though check in was not till 2:00. It was very much appreciated.

Positives: I arrived at 5:30 in the morning, and they had a room cleaned and ready for me by 8:30.

Negatives: None.

While walking from our rooms to the pool, we had to step over crushed candy, dental floss, a used Band-aid, and so many cigarette butts that I could even smell them from in the swimming pool. Total dump on the outside, clean enough inside the rooms, though one smelled damp. We got connecting rooms but divider doors closed and locked on their own unless propped with a suitcase. Outside lock broken on one room so we had to enter via the connecting room.

Positives: Good location right of Route 95.

Negatives: It was a dirty dump.

It's right off the highway, so easy on, easy off. It has all of the amenities except that there is no good steakhouse nearby--we had to go down to NC for one. It's nice and clean.

Positives: Nice, clean, comfortable rooms with helpful, friendly staff.

Negatives: A little hard to get into and out of the hotel site.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 05 Jul 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

Right off interstate 95 w/ a big travel center next door, and a Shoney's right across the street. Rooms were big and clean and very low prices. We paid $55 for 2 queen beds, so that's hard to beat. Great continental breakfast, too. All around great deal.

Positives: Very low price for great quality.

Negatives: A couple of employees would smoke right at the front door.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 16 May 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

I had an excellent overnight stay. Breakfast was free of charge and delicious. It was also nice to have free wireless Internet access in the room.

Positives: Free Breakfast! Fee Wireless Internet!

Negatives: No comment!

This hotel was located in a good area for the nature of our trip. The staff made you feel really at home and the breakfast went beyond our expectations.

Positives: The breakfast was great!

Negatives: The room smelled like smoke.
