Great for Business
I was here for a business trip and found the location to be very nice. It is close to 95 and not far from the UD campus and all the offering of their Main Street.

The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, slightly expensive considering other hotels in the area offer breakfast for a similar price. Next door is the red roof inn, parking lots are attached. I think they are housing homeless people there.

How bout we stay away this weekend baby.
Dropped in for an overnight romp with the woman. Stayed here as a getaway without going away. As usual my performance was stellar; she concurred. This place is pretty fresh and clean. The check in excellent. Also if you by chance need a $5.00 Hot Pocket at 3am that pantry is clutch.

Its was a good clean property, but not enough parking spaces. I had to park far in the red roof inn and walk over. The building needs more parking spaces, other than that great stay.
