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'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
