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.

I paid for this room specifically for the extra ed space from the sofa Sleeper. It was not made up and the mattress cover had a large rip in it. I had to use the bed dressing for the other bed as a cover sheet. The floor was dirty, the mirror smeared, and one of the 3 coffee pods they left me had been used. There was water in the reservoir. I complained about the smoke smell and was told" oh year, right below you in a garbage can with an ashtray top" I was thanked for my complaints and wished a good day. Not staying here again

Ceiling in room needed fair about of work. No instructions on use of tv. Tv remote had numbers that didn’t work. Room telephone didn’t work. When I went to the front desk they told me that they were working on the phones. When I checked out, no one asked if everything was OK. Breakfast offering was below average. Would not go back to this chain.
