Our expectations were not terribly high when we made the reservations--just a place to stay overnight, near where we were going to be the next day. It is located just off I-95, and is located at the beginning of a shopping center, so we figured it was just another place. When we arrived, it looked like other chains that are usually just OK at best, the kind with 2 stories, no elevator, etc., like a "Worst Eastern", shall we say. But when we got there, it was very pleasant inside, and the front desk person was very pleasant, and check-in was very efficient. She also mentioned that they had been renovating the rooms, and that we had gotten one of those rooms. The room we had was just perfect, especially for the reasonable price. It was clean, plenty spacious, had pleasant decor, all very tastefully done. with coffee maker, microwave, and ample refrigerator. Bathroom was not huge, but plenty big enough, with an excellent shower. Some little details that matter when you travel: 1) A real bathroom door on hinges, not some sliding slab on rollers. 2) Real bars of soap, bottles of shampoo/conditioner/lotion, not big bottles of cheap stuff in the shower; 3) a bathroom mirror with a built-in defogger and push-button adjustable light. Bed was comfy, free wi-fi. Theres also a pool. Only small downside--a grab-and-go breakfast bar (granola bars, etc.) instead of a full free breakfast (there is a restaurant attached to the inn, so thats understandable). Great value.
