    The design is a bit outdated, but inside it was clean and cozy. There were some issues with other guests who arrived around midnight and were loudly playing music in their car, and also a motorcyclist who was warming up his motorcycle at midnight. But of course, that was not the hotel’s fault. The woman at the front desk was very sweet and kind. Overall, we were happy with our stay

    Room was very nice for the price point, clean and good quality appointments. Felt like a newly renovated room. Shower was exceptional, both in pressure and temperature. Gary at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Wifi was fine. Would gladly stay here again. Finding the property was a little difficult as it is on a road only accessible from the highway onramp. If you miss the turn (which is marked confusingly as 'one-way') you need to drive 11 miles down the highway to make a U-Turn at the next exit.

    We stayed at this location when our power was out from Hurricane Helene. It is not the standard I would typically choose but everything around for miles was booked. I found nothing wrong with the property for the price. The room was decently clean. The bathroom fixtures worked. The water was warm, and the towels were refreshed each day. The gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant and straightforward with expectations. It was not a luxury stay, but it got the job done when we had nowhere else to go.

    No breakfast and no breakfast option, not even water or coffee. Bedroom was stinky, mold smell so strong it kept waking me up as the bedding was also smelling like mold. Comforter had cigarette burns/holes. This is a zero star run down motel, right next to the highway with nothing around, no food options, other than a QT. Bathroom door was filthy and in such a bad shape, ceiling tiles open in some areas which is great for bugs. Very noisy, you can hear the upstairs neighbors walk etc. Other than the smell, bed was comfortable, wifi was good.

    Checking out very early Horrible. Key card was inoperable, window clerk had to bust open the keyed tumbler to unlock door and said that we couldn’t leave because the owner didn’t fix the locks the correct way. There is a QT/truck fuel station right next door which trucks whizzed by every few minutes all night long, was charged a $10 security deposit for the key card which was turned in and was not returned upon check out which had to be in form of cash. Just bad experience from first minute and last minute.

    While the gentleman who checked us in at 11pm was awesome, the room was not. We needed a clean, simple, no frills room on the way down to FL. We chose this because of all the reviews. However, the room was gross. I've attached pictures. The mattress cover was disgusting with stains; the bathroom floor was dirty; and the shower curtain had black mold on it. I would not recommend staying here.

Room was small but fine for two people. Decent and updated finishes and carpet. Bathroom and vanity were up to date. No amenities such as coffee or bath items were no problem for us. HVAC unit worked well and was not noisy. Fridge was good size. Microwave and wall mounted tv. Did have some water damage to bottom of bathroom door. Overall decent place for an overnight stay. Price was half of other basic motel chains.

Other than that it was quiet and you are right off I95 which was super convenient.

    The room had an extremely musty smell. Putting on the AC only made it worst. Smelled like a damp basement. We left our suitcases in the truck to keep the smell out of our clean clothes. I mentioned it to the clerk. He said thank you for letting him know.

    This out-of-the way affordable motel is clean, neat and comfortable (all nonsmoking). My room lacked a smoke detector, but all lights, tv worked; clean linens, carpet and spreads. Shower had a little mildew, which a bit of scraping and bleach could resolve. Few amenities here (no coffee maker or pool), but comfortable beds. It’s not easy to find, on an access ramp to N-I-95, but near 2 fireworks stores, a good Mexican restaurant and breakfast spot.
