The living room was huge. The King sized bed was VERY comfortable. We had a refrigerator with a freezer so we could keep a large amount of food, safe. The Inn is just a short distance from some very good restaurants, a Wal-Mart, and a Stop And Shop grocery store. And, the price was right!

If you are looking for a place to sleep and that's all this place is fine. And the Ice Machine does work. I saw some reviews saying it didn't. When I walked in I checked out the room. The only obvious negative was the Microwave. The handle was broken. And it seems to be like that for some time. The AC units worked fine. The room had a lot of storage spots for clothing. Regarding the staff I really didn't talk to them outside of mentioning about the handle on the microwave. For a 2 star spot it wasn't bad. There is an elevator which worked fine. One thing i noticed that the hallways and lobby have zero AC at all. So if you wanna stay cool, stay in your room. Parking was fine. For the price I have no complaints

Decent little hotel. Needs some maintenance but well worth staying for the price and it’s just a few minutes to the Navy Base. We stayed here for our daughter’s BESS graduation and it worked out great for our family.

We booked here to be close to 2 casinos but found the drive a little too back roads for us. Other than that, fine for an older hotel.

If you don’t need a restaurant in your accommodation this is good value for money. Room was spacious with king bed, on suite shower and toilet. Small kitchen, sofa and Wi-Fi. The decor is very dated but we were comfortable

Great stay. Excellent Value.
Was a little nervous when I booked due to mixed reviews but overall was very pleased. Traveled with family. Rooms were very big compared to other hotels, furniture was comfy, rooms and bathrooms were stocked and clean. AC worked great, shower had great pressure and got nice and hot. The hotel interior itself could benefit from a couple cosmetic repairs but did not effect stay at all. Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Great location. Honestly nothing bad to say. Will definitely stay again.

Got there at 2am, granted its late. Walk in,office attendee was sound asleep. Gave him my id and signed a paper. Got keys for one room. Keys didnt work asked for new keys and he gave us a new room. Go to use the same keycard he gave us and this new room doesnt work. Then escorts us up to the new room to manually reset the keys as hes banging and pulling the door mind you 230am at this point. A man opens the door. They tried to give us a room that someone already had! Woke him up and i was completely embarrassed. The man was asking what was going on. Attendees never answered, as the two attendees talk in another language, i tell the man they want to give us his room. Then we go downstairs to get new keys but at this point seems to be 3 family members talking in a different language as im trying to get a refund. They Say i have to go through expedia nothing they can do. I asked for my signed copy back, refused to give it back. so it looks like i signed into a room but never got a room these people have stolen my money and my time. Was forced to drive 2 and half hrs home at 230 in the morning

Nice two room “suite” that was clean and quiet. At this price point that isn’t always the case. It was our second stay here and it won’t be our last.
