It's a motel. I was very impressed with the bed and how quiet it was. Everything was clean, but a panel had fallen off of the wall and was taped back on, part of the desk laminate was missing, but seriously, all we needed was a place to rest our heads for the night after a concert. It was adequate. I have to say that the staff was amazing. Thank you.

I have stayed here many times during the last 10 yrs when traveling from Michigan to NJ. I like that its a one floor and I can always park right in front of my door making it easy to unload and reload in morning/ The staff is always very polite an makes sure I have a nice quiet room, he has always worked afternoons and always remembers me when I walk in.

I've stayed here a few times now and I keep coming back because the rooms have always been clean and comfortable and the staff always friendly and wanting to please. The area has always been pretty quiet as well. It's not a luxury hotel with all the amenities but if you want a good clean place to stay in the area at a decent price you should give it a try

Room was clean, difficult regulating temperature. Bedspread was very thin so I felt chilled which usually I am quite hot. Should have extra blanket available. Room was very overpriced but the location was suitable for our needs
