We used public transportation rather than rent a car: The bus stop was conveniently located right outside of the hotel for local use or for a transfer to the Amtrak station; restaurant options were within walking distance, and Ubers were available within minutes.

I stayed two nights for a volleyball tournament at University of Delaware. The hotel wasn’t fancy but was just fine. I only slept there no issues. I’m glad I didn’t pay the expensive cost for other hotels in the area.

The room was clean. Except there was gum stuck to the floor, probably still there. The sink looked horrible. They had painted it but some dark spots showed through. It was still very usable. More of an appearance issue.

Easily the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed in. We had to change rooms due to roaches, a backed up tub, and no hot water. Someone from the front desk called our room at 3:30 in the morning, looking for somebody.

I was in room 188 which was a suite and yes, it was clean but over the four nights I had three cockroaches visit. The adjoining room next-door on Friday night was spanking his partner and she was moaning loudly and this went on for about 30 minutes, which I actually quite found quite amusing with the finale was the head board hitting the wall furiously for the grand finally of the performance
