1. Friendship Motor Inn Carneys Point-Pennsville

Friendship Motor Inn Carneys Point-Pennsville
Penns Grove
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"The room was considerably nicer than expected. It was newly renovated and super clean. The bed was comfortable with plump pillows, the fridge clean and cold. I appreciated the room's multiple lighting options and the posh adjustable lighted bathroom mirror. While near a high-traffic intersection and 24/7 gas station, the room was quiet and the blackout panel kept outside light from the room. It was a very comfortable stay- thank you and hope to see you again soon!"
