It's always very clean hair and I sleep really well. At night, it's quiet, but close enough to a grocery store right across the street and several gas stations.As well as dunkin' donuts right next door which makes it convenient. I like the smell of the linens and the towels and the fact that it's clean and the bed is very comfortable

We stay here because it is on the cheaper side, yet the rooms and bathrooms are clean. The beds are comfy enough, we bring our own pillows though. The staff is friendly and helpful when or if you have an issue. If you’re on a budget, yet need a night out, this hotel is perfect for the price.

I stayed here a few years ago. It was very clean then, so I came back when I needed a stay for an overnight in Branford. It's still very clean and comfortable and quiet. It's a simple motel, but that's what I like and drive right up to the front door and feel safe and confident that you're in a good place.And the staff is very nice. It was an easy check in which I appreciate and the king bed was beautiful. Grocery store across the street and dunkin' donuts is just about next door so very convenient. The most important things to me in motels or hotels is cleanliness and safety. Refrigerator and microwave in the room were sparkling clean. It's basic but clean and everything you need is here. If you are traveling, it's convenient to 95, i mean, it would be so easy to wake up here if you're traveling and just grab a coffee and jump on the highway. Highly recommend this place because of all these reasons. Thank you for another nice visit.

Liked: Staff & service
We only stayed one night, quick trip up to see our daughter for family weekend at college. The room was fine for what we needed it for and price wise it was quite economical. It was definitely dated and there were some aspects that needed more attention than others. The dead insects on the windowsill were a little disturbing and the phone looked like it hadnt been cleaned ever. The tub had some serious staining to it. All of these items, again were minor but a little more attention should be paid when cleaning between guests.
