I stayed here during a weekend in April of this year with my boyfriend while we visited his brother at UDel. The king size rooms are a good size. Our room was away from stairwells and other noisy areas. We had the hotel breakfast the first morning we were there. They have a good variety of stuff: cereal, waffles, bagels,... More

We stopped here after a long day of driving while on a road trip and it was absolutely disgusting and filthy. The rooms smelled bad and the bed sheets were filled with black hair and stains. The following morning while eating our continental breakfast we had to listen to the manager argue with hung over college girls about not bringing... More

I lived in this hotel for three months. There are three floors and no elevators. My room was clean and the wifi service was adequate. This is not a bad place to spend a night or two. More

We needed a place to stay until our apartment was ready, looking for value we stumbled upon this hotel. The value was very appealing.the outside of the hotel could use a little more fixing up and maybe updated but that was not as important to me as the cleanliness. Upon arrival our hotel room was very clean and bathroom well... More

Checked in 2/3/2012. Two mattresses were laying outside. BAD SIGN. BEd was swarming with bugs. I'm not joking. Swarming. Room 135. Bugs as big as dimes, or as small as the tip of a needle. AWFUL EXPERIENCE. More

We have recently brought on a new management team and are working hard on getting the housekeeping and maintenance staff up to par. The mattresses that were outside were from a recent fire that was in one of the rooms and they... More

Stopped for one night on our way to South Carolina with the kids since it was right next to the highway and we had planned arriving late. I was very disapointed. I was charged twice for the same room. Front desk staff was very annoyed that I wanted things cleared up and said I was surely responsible for the mistake...... More

There is no reason that your room should not have been prepared for you and been as clean as you would find in any other high end brand hotel. We have recently took on a whole new management staff...
