Fast, friendly and efficient check in. Room was clean and bed/pillows were comfortable.
You could tell the property had been upgraded as best it could be. The area was slightly sketchy. However, it was well worth the money for a quick stay and the customer service was great!

The staff were really nice! The room was barebones but serviceable, for the price.

Staff were super friendly! Wasn’t the most clean place I have stayed in, the floors looked like they really needed to be mopped, there were some spots that were missed in sweeping from the person before me but for the brief time I was there it was fine. Bed was clean which was what mattered the most to me.

You get what you pay for. The front desk guy was nice. The fridge was not cold but he fixed it. It was difficult to regulate the temperature the unit kept blowing on and off and waking me up so then I kept it on low and would keep blowing cool air after hitting the temp. I had the blanket on and the heat all the way up and still slept on sweatpants. Thankfully it was 50°. it would’ve been nice to have some Kleenex. I walked into an overpowering air freshener which I unplugged and then the next day it stunk like cigarettes in the bathroom the TV remote batteries weren’t working and it fell under the bed and dropped a battery and I wasn’t gonna go fishing for it so it ended up playing all night on mute. I brought my own coffee and didn’t want to heat it in a thin little plastic cup in the microwave so I had to go across the street to the gas station to get a paper cup but other than that it was fine. they allowed me to have an upstairs room like I asked .

Heat/AC functioned well. Clean room. Building plumbing could use improvement. Close to multiple shopping and eating establishments. But the worst issue is the traffic noise, which was loud, sounded like they were driving thru the room.

The room was clean and comfortable, and while it is definitely no-frills, the motel is in a great, convenient location. The only negative would be that the cleaning solution smell in the room was very strong - I needed to leave the window open for a few hours to clear out the bleach smell. However, I'm very sensitive to smells, so it may be that it wouldn't affect someone else (and I much prefer a clean room that smells of cleaning solution to a dirty one that doesn't.)
An unexpected surprise... Small but clean room, good heat, nice hot shower, extra-comfortable bed. Brand new massive Wawa across the street with everything you need for a full meal or munchie attack at any hour of the day or night... overly convenient... Park in front of your room and walk or take the trolley to everything...
Prompt attention, easy checkin, convenient room. Looking for an easy place to stop visiting my kid in University City; Media was very cute and about 30 min out - worked great!
