• The staff was very helpful and wanted to make me happy as far as room choice. The front desk was willing to change my room to anything I wanted.
• Although it was a smoking room, the sheets even smelled like smoke. My clothes smelled like smoke when I left the room. The room was dingy.

“As silly as it sounds, do not stay in the smoking room if you are not a smoker. The sheets and pillows smelled like the smoke had been there for years. The room itself was dingy. But the staff was very courteous and wanted to help in any way possible. I'm sure that the summer is nicer because of the pool and the proximity of the rooms to the pool. If you are a true girly girl, this is not the hotel for you. The staff is truly great.”

• Not one thing.
• Continental breakfast did not look fresh & front desk was not courteous.

“Grounds were not taken care of. Room keys did not work most of the time. Parking area was not light well.”

• Outdoor pool and Tiki bar.
• Seen better days. Like I did in the early sixties.

“Outstanding outdoor pool, large with 10 foot deep end. Great out side bar and great Jap restaurant with tea house. Superb flowers, but hotel is beat. You can't go home again!”

• The bathroom had been remodeled and was clean.
• It's just a few feet from rt. 17 (6 lanes), and traffic noise is awful!

“This hotel is probably 50 years old, and it shows. The room is moderately attractive and surprisingly. The bathroom has been remodeled. The room & bathroom were clean. However, the hotel is right on rt 17, just a few feet from 6-8 lanes of traffic. The traffic noise is very bad, even at 3 am! I had to turn on the AC to try and drown out the traffic noise at night. I don't think I would have been able to sleep without this attempt to mask the traffic sounds. This is a budget motel, and you get what you pay for. They seem to rent blocks of rooms to workers that are staying in the area for several weeks or months. These workers go to work early, so they will be gone before most people get up. Still, not a place to go with the kids or for anyone that might be picky. The motel has a V-shape layout with the sliding glass doors facing towards rt 17. There is no way to avoid the traffic noise. The motel was cleaner that I expected for the budget level, and the management does its best but it is what it is and nothing can make it better. If it wasn't for the traffic noise, I would recommend it as a cheaper place to spend the night. But, for me personally, the traffic noise is a deal killer. There are other hotels along rt. 17 that are much better (and quieter).”

• Convenient location, clean and good buys for area.
• Room doors open directly to outside and close to rt 17.

“Surprisingly clean and well renovated and appointed room. Too close to rt 17, but traffic not audible with a/c on. Nice pool. Close to shopping center (walking distance). Some travelers will not like room door that open directly to outside.”

• Location.
• Dust and debris under and around bed.

“Hotel needs to be upgraded to the 21st century, very 1970s.”

“Overall great value for the area. Relatively clean, high areas were dusty. Older but kept up fairly well. Staff was very friendly. Area was easy to get to and accessible to convenience shopping and dining. Nice and quiet.”
