Very Good

I stayed here a few years ago. It was very clean then, so I came back when I needed a stay for an overnight in Branford. It's still very clean and comfortable and quiet. It's a simple motel, but that's what I like and drive right up to the front door and feel safe and confident that you're in a good place.And the staff is very nice. It was an easy check in which I appreciate and the king bed was beautiful.
Grocery store across the street and dunkin' donuts is just about next door so very convenient.
The most important things to me in motels or hotels is cleanliness and safety. Refrigerator and microwave in the room were sparkling clean.
It's basic but clean and everything you need is here. If you are traveling, it's convenient to 95, i mean, it would be so easy to wake up here if you're traveling and just grab a coffee and jump on the highway.
Highly recommend this place because of all these reasons. Thank you for another nice visit.
Very clean, bed & pillows very comfortable ! Shower had lots of water pressure... the landscaping was very well taken care of...Raj was very courteous & professional !! Diner right across the road! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend !!!
Clean room, easy parking, quiet and safe location, a diner and Dunkin's within walking distance and a Stop & Shop supermarket across the street. Will definitely stay here again.
No frills motel. Extremely clean!! My husband and I stayed for 1 night and it was exactly what we were looking for. Staff are also very friendly and prompt.
Everything was fine except the shampoo comes in a foil package which I could not open

Liked: Staff & service
We only stayed one night, quick trip up to see our daughter for family weekend at college. The room was fine for what we needed it for and price wise it was quite economical. It was definitely dated and there were some aspects that needed more attention than others. The dead insects on the windowsill were a little disturbing and the phone looked like it hadnt been cleaned ever. The tub had some serious staining to it. All of these items, again were minor but a little more attention should be paid when cleaning between guests.
