horrible service

decent hotel, absolutely terrible service. three days in a row they refused to clean my room and replenish towels, etc. the housekeepers even went as far as moving the door hanger so they didn't have to clean it.

In town just for a track meet

The room was nothing special. Nothing too bad, could use a touch up. The guys at the front desk were always helpful. The cleaning person didn't knock before opening my door. That was my only real complaint. Oh...the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. That was the only real disappointment. Overall..a good value for the money.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

We ate dinner at the Friendlys restaurant right next door to the hotel. It was nice food for a nice price. Good service too.

Horribly dirty; but cheap

Our sink clogged as well as the bathtub. Water pressure was minimum. Chairs were dirty and the furniture was ran down. There was also a not so pleasant smell in the building. Beside the cost I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay, especially if you intend on spending a lot of time in the room.

The room was very clean. It was very easy to find off the highwayand convenient to where we had to go. The staff was friendly and helpful if we had any questions. I would come back to this hotel in the future.

Close to Univ Delaware

The only great thing was we were only staying one night (and arrived very late), and the location to the university was perfect. Room was tiny, clean enough but old, bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Front desk man somewhat impolite. Good price for the one night.

Not a bad place to stay on a budget; only 15 minutes from Newark. Hotel is located right off of the highway. Overall, no complaints.
