Location was convenient. Check-in was easy and staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a bit noisy with I-95 being right there, but with the noise from the AC, it wasn’t terrible and didn’t disturb my sleep. Breakfast was ok. I would stay here again.

Dog smell

The room was clean, but it smelled like dog. Wish they offered rooms that were need not pet friendly, so that people that were allergic would not have to smell the dog.

Overall the stay was ok, AC worked as it should, the linens were clean, however the door latch wasn't working correctly, there was noise late into the night, the beds at least for us were not comfortable, hardly any water pressure in the shower, the hot tub was nice and hot. Decent for the price
