Friendly staff, clean room, with all the basics you need. It was the perfect place to stop on our journey home to sleep before continuing our travels the next day. We will keep this place in mind on our next trip. Also, the hotel is well placed right near 2 gas stations, grocery store, diner and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Don't be put off by the slightly shabby looking exterior to this motel - or the bullet proof glass in the front office! The place is a gem. Clean comfortable beds, clean bathroom, great shower. Will definitely stay another time when in the area!

Nice “old-timey” vintage motel style hotel, bed was super comfortable, sheets were soft and bright white. The shower water pressure was amazing and water was very hot. Location is close to I-95 but far enough away so there’s no highway noise. Shopping, dining and gas are in close proximity. Staff was very pleasant and helpful, if I’m in the area I’d stay again.

Great little independent motel. Staff were helpful at check in and the bed was comfortable. Nothing fancy about it at all but amazing value for the price I paid compared to how the big brands are gouging you today. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever back in the area.

A spotless, simple motel room. The bed was extremely comfortable. No frills, but more than adequate and well-priced for Yale’s graduation weekend. Great diner nearby (Sky Diner).

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.
