You know what? For a cheap place this place is not bad at all. The rooms are clean and the guy at the desk was cool. Some furnitures are old but bed, linen, and pillows look clean. I will say there are interesting people here but the place has cameras everywhere and is very quite. Is definitely worth the 40 bucks per night... I like it.
The place wasn't bad at all. The beds were comfy and the hotel was relatively quite. The rooms smelled of old smoke but it wasn't overbearing. I'd stay here again for sure. Very affordable rooms.
Don’t know why this place has so much hate. I found the service excellent. I also arrived to a clean room with clean sheets and a clean bathroom. The bathroom is definitely a little run down but stunk of cleaning chemicals so at least it was clean. This is part of the reason I’m giving 4 stars, also I noticed a slight funky smell coming into the room (old carpet). If the carpets were replaced along with bathroom re dos this place would be 5 stars all day. If you need a place to crash for the night so u can hit the road in the morning this is your place!
This place is such a great deal for the money. I have stayed there quite a few times and it is always very clean. The rooms are fairly big, have a big tv, but have a small bathroom that desperately needs updating. But it is always clean. The staff down in the office are always super nice too. I have always had a very good experience no matter who is at the desk. I will stay there again in the future, no doubt and actually look forward to it.
Off Interstate 95, this modest budget hotel in a low-rise building is 2 miles from the navy-run Submarine Force Library & Museum and 7 miles from marine exhibits at Mystic Aquarium.
