Good!

The staff was very friendly and the stay was good for the money it is listed at. My only gripe, which had nothing to do with the business at all, is there was a dog barking all night in the room next to us. The staff was very apologetic and supported us. Which we dearly appreciated!

Front desks guy's got a pit bull that he let's jump up on guests and isn't leashed or muzzled. I fell unsafe and was extremely anxious. He did nothing but make excuses. Won't use this place again!

It's a motel. I was very impressed with the bed and how quiet it was. Everything was clean, but a panel had fallen off of the wall and was taped back on, part of the desk laminate was missing, but seriously, all we needed was a place to rest our heads for the night after a concert. It was adequate. I have to say that the staff was amazing. Thank you.

I have stayed here many times during the last 10 yrs when traveling from Michigan to NJ. I like that its a one floor and I can always park right in front of my door making it easy to unload and reload in morning/ The staff is always very polite an makes sure I have a nice quiet room, he has always worked afternoons and always remembers me when I walk in.
