This one is really not that bad and they still have smoking rooms... It's not cheap sometimes the hotels at BWI are cheaper don't be deceived by the fact it's a motel. But there's only a $5 key deposit as opposed to the bwi hotels that $100 room deposit
You pay for what you get, I can guarantee you will get clean sheets and a clean room. They also have heart shaped Jacuzzi rooms, Great for valentime's or when you really trying to impress your significant other. There's a ton of places to eat nearby for example: Pizza Hut ,Subway ,McDonald's ,KFC, Taco Bell, Dunkin donuts.
The king/heart-shapped jacuzzi room is SO worth it! This is a hidden gem! Staff was very helpful, informative, and polite. They even gave a courtesy call 30 min before check out. Plenty of parking. Room was clean. Mirrors on the ceiling with the red rope light really set a vibe like no other place in town! Can't wait to stay here again next time I'm visiting the area!
This is no 5star motel! But for a good reasonable clean bump in the night it's a go! I been rocking with them since and 2000. Regular overnight is $71.40 They also have hourly shacks for quickies! I believe the 2hr is $40 and the 4hr is $47.25, they have smoking and non smoking and all the shacks are heated and air conditioned with mirrored ceilings. They also have jacuzzi rooms I forgot those prices.
105 for a couple on a friday and had a jacuzzi in your own room. Was a little less fancy like its def. A little older and they also offer prices by the hour so that's usually bad sign but was a nice stay and the room we received was clean no bugs none that
Everything near by best local and room super clean, but I did reclean myself. Me & friend best time every just love place yes love came again.
Great place, and you can't beat the rate process. Always courteous staff and prompt service a place I'll keep frequenting.
You wouldn't think the inside was clean or nice by just looking at the place. We stayed here a few times while traveling for work and have always had a pleasant stay. The beds are comfortable and most of the double bed rooms have a whirlpool tub at no extra charge. We paid 70$/night (including weekends) and that is not bad considering the surrounding hotels are the same price if not more and they are not updated or cleaned well at all!!
