Travel tips

Plan to use a car or rideshare for local sightseeing, as major points of interest are several kilometers away (for example, First State National Historical Park ~4.2 km and Delaware Art Museum ~7.6 km). If you are sensitive to noise or odors, consider confirming room conditions on arrival and addressing issues immediately with the front desk, as these are common themes in guest feedback.

What guests say

Guest feedback frequently highlights problems with room cleanliness and strong odors, including smoke and pet-related smells, as well as reports of pests. Noise and disturbances at night are also a recurring concern in the excerpts. Multiple reviews describe negative service interactions at the front desk, including dismissive communication and disputes about charges or refunds. Limited positive detail appears in the excerpts beyond one note that the check-in and settling in initially seemed fine.
