An Excellent No-Name Experience
The best value experience on our trip, including the breakfast with the best quality ingredients. Furnishings are somewhat dated, but in very good condition. Since the property abuts busy I-95, choose a room on the side of the pool.

It is an older hotel which has been kept up nicely. It was very clean. I was pleasantly surprised. The pool area looked nice and it had a grill. Didn't use either because I was just passing thru.

Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived in the room, it smelled of dust. The shower was good. The Wi-Fi is open and without a password. They didn't tell us that breakfast time on Mondays was until 9 am and on weekends it was until 10. We informed reception that mold was starting to form near the toilet.
