The winter season pricing is great. It’s very convenient to interstate 95 and a grocery store. Several good restaurants are close as well as a coffee shop. The room was basic but clean and quiet which is what we needed. Next time in the area we will stay again for the location and value.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property was immaculate. The staff was kind and professional. They even called to check in after you’ve been in the room for a little while. Make sure everything is perfect and to wish you an excellent day. What a great experience I chose this place mainly based on price, but it was an exceptional facility!
