5.6
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We used public transportation rather than rent a car: The bus stop was conveniently located right outside of the hotel for local use or for a transfer to the Amtrak station; restaurant options were within walking distance, and Ubers were available within minutes.
Had contradictory experiences regarding the property and the room.
The property looked shabby and ill-maintained.
The room was excellent and was perfect.
Great staff too.
It sits right on the Interstate, which is a bit odd but great because saves a lot of travel time.
A gas station is being constructed right next to the property. So, had to wake up to the noise pretty early in the morning. But, that's not a fault of the property.
The sink in the room was clogged and water wouldn’t drain. The bed frame broke.
The staff at the desk was nice.

The room was clean. Except there was gum stuck to the floor, probably still there. The sink looked horrible. They had painted it but some dark spots showed through. It was still very usable. More of an appearance issue.
Average stay.... comfortable bed.... no breakfast.... apparently no washroom in the lobby area.... (After a long drive, and just before the checking in process, it is reasonable to ask to use a washroom, no?)

Property location is good and staff are very friendly. But utilities is poor and also guests are so so
I believe it’s a shelter also. There were crackheads hanging near the entrance asking for cigarettes. I was locked out of my room after returning late; and no I didn’t have my key near my phone. The bathtub was rusted bad and the water pressure in the sink was very low. The early staff was great; females by the way. The men that worked late were real scared and fidgety which means the property is really not that safe if you operate through a glass window and act cold to the customers.
The entire place smelled pretty awful. The front desk was nice and the bed was super comfortable.
Bugs in the bathroom weren't particularly expected and didn't really want to scatter!

The hotel is so run down and dirty. It was actually scary to stay there. The staff in the front office was fabulous which was nice.
The reason this isn’t a one star review is because the bed was actually comfortable. Other than that, this place is a dump. It was parents weekend at my daughter’s college so this was really the only place that had any openings. If given the choice, I would not stay here again.
The room was clean. The whole place could use some updates, for example the carpeting could have been cleaned or replaced. Curtains had cuts in them and the comforter had a burn hole but we were in a non-smoking room.
For an overnight, it was just fine. frig, microwave, separate room from bedroom. large bathroom. Perfect. Looks like they are improving the outside and interior. Courtesy was fine. Parking was ample
The service was really good, however, the rooms were very smelly, not cleaned, sticky floors and tables, roaches in bathroom, cigarettes burns in sheets. Would not recommend.

It was a little nicer than expected (especially since the carpeting was replaced with a vinyl wood floor).
It was clean, but various things were broken.
The bathroom door didn’t close or lock.
The bathroom fan wasn’t working.
The remote needed batteries.
The front desk staff were helpful.

The building is ancient and badly needs an update. The jet tub was perfect. Thank goodness for that since that’s what I wanted but the rest was very mediocre and dirty. Thank goodness for mattress covers too. Not a place to stay if you will be mostly in your room which I was not.
We needed a place to stay for a lacrosse tournament and I waited too long, most were either full or way overpriced. I paid a fair rate here, and honestly the staff was nice when I spoke to them, and my room was really big and clean. Bed was newer and comfortable, building is definitely old, bathroom sink/tub are well past in need of replacement and someone in the past took some aggression out on the wall.
The hotel was close to UD campus which was nice, hard to get into with the road construction but that’s not their fault. If you’ve stayed at cheaper places before, you know what you’re getting. People definitely live here…but I had a comfy, clean bed for a good price. It did the job.
The staff was kind & helpful. Unfortunately the property is old & run down. Staff did their best to clean but the freshener was overpowering. Bedding had cigarette burns. Bathroom was clean but the tub drained slowly leaving you standing in dirty water while showering. Shower & sink fixtures barely functioned & were old & decrepit. Towel rack was barely held into the wall on one side. Laminate floors in the room were the best feature.
