Overall, for a no frills, basic motel, it delivered on exactly what it was designed to do.
Pros:

This is a basic motel that has a good location and is close to I-95. The shower was hot, the room was clean with nice comfortable pillows and the room was serviced everyday by housekeeping.

Cons:

There was no breakfast, the front desk had trouble understanding some questions but did their best to get them answered.. If your a light sleeper, run the AC to block some of the outside noise.
