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).

Comfortable, Quiet, A family owned business -not a chain- who will go above and beyond to give you a good night stay. Close to a Stop& Shop Supermarket which has beer and wine. Easy Access to Branford and Thimble Islands. I have provided an annual Fundraising event for the Branford Library for the past 3 years and this has been my place to stay.

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.

It is a no frills motel but has all the basics: clean firm mattress, 3/4 size refrigerator, microwave, ironing board, hair dryer etc. The bathtub has a good shower head with reliable hot water. Air conditioning is a wall unit in the back. Near grocery store, diner, coffee shop.
