luis, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

At first glance it was a little intimidating. But it's right on the bay beautiful and plenty areas to sit and take in nature , my room smelled like smoke but they changed it quickly and it was okay . It seems that they did a good job of renovating the rooms. I would go back again.

HEATHER, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is absolutely stunning. Our room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. We reserved a waterfront room, and it offered the most breathtaking view of the River—truly the highlight of our stay. I highly recommend this hotel; it's conveniently located near Philadelphia and offers ample parking, making it both accessible and relaxing.

2/10 Terrible

The place was very dirty with trash inside and outside. I know the trash company was on strike, but it was terrible.
Greg, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a good place to stay for a flight layover. Our flight was delayed about 40 mins so we had to rush to check in by midnight & the shuttle would not answer the number we were given. We ended up taking a cab, made it in time to check in next door with the partner hotel to get our room key. Turns out you can check in until 1:00am ... that would have been helpful information! Older motel but nicely updated rooms. Very friendly service and free coffee & airport shuttle the next morning. The area is a mixture of nice (park & waterfront), and a bit sketchy (dark walkways at night). It's a great deal, so I would stay here again & felt safe with our two small kids.
Michelle, 1-night trip

The staff especially both the young man and the woman desk attendants were awesome and very knowledgeable about their job and were always on the ready. I will definitely recommend and stay there again .
Henry, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

With the shuttle, convenient to the airport -- shuttle was reliable. (The airport has a train line that is a way to visit City Center Philadelphia) Desk personnel were all polite and helpful. Motel is along the Delaware River (a nice view) and next to an interesting local historical park. Although a bit of a walk, possible to walk to varying restaurants or a convenience store for food. Room was clean; television, microwave and mini-fridge (of good size) all worked -- bed was fine. Some bathroom ceiling tiles could be replaced; room didn't have a closet or place to hang coats/clothing. Overall, I would stay there again. Good deal for the price -- as noted above pleasant being along the river and near the park.
Steve, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was amazing! The view, the area, all the food spots around it. The historic cabins next to it was cool too
Nicholas, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Really nice spot, the shuttle to the airport is very helpful. I don’t put five stars because we can hear a bit the planes and the doors leads directly outside.

Leslie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The entrance of the property can be off-putting, but we had a room for 1 night with a great water view and the rooms were beautiful with good AC, water, and bathroom washes/haircare. Only thing I would suggest is it they fix up something nice in the front so it doesn’t look empty! Other than that I really enjoyed my stay and the owner was very nice when we checked out.
