Don't be put off by the slightly shabby looking exterior to this motel - or the bullet proof glass in the front office! The place is a gem. Clean comfortable beds, clean bathroom, great shower. Will definitely stay another time when in the area!

Great little independent motel. Staff were helpful at check in and the bed was comfortable. Nothing fancy about it at all but amazing value for the price I paid compared to how the big brands are gouging you today. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever back in the area.

I only stayed for 1 night and it was fine for that. It's like a throwback to roadside hotel from years past. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The guy at the front deck was polite and welcoming. For a basic no frills hotel it was good.

Comfortable, Quiet, A family owned business -not a chain- who will go above and beyond to give you a good night stay. Close to a Stop& Shop Supermarket which has beer and wine. Easy Access to Branford and Thimble Islands. I have provided an annual Fundraising event for the Branford Library for the past 3 years and this has been my place to stay.

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.
