Travel tips
Because the hotel is positioned off Interstate 95, it’s a practical base for driving between Delaware and Maryland and for reaching nearby parks and attractions by car. If you’re planning local outings, Milburn Orchards and Iron Hill Park are among the closest stops, while Fort Delaware State Park is farther out. If you need a microwave or minifridge, confirm availability with the property when booking since they’re listed as available rather than standard in every room.
What guests say
Reviews commonly mention that rooms and bathrooms can be clean and that beds are comfortable, with some guests noting efficient check-in and staff help (for example, resolving a keycard issue). At the same time, multiple reviews point to inconsistent upkeep, including reports of musty odors and, in some cases, mold in bathrooms. Safety and the exterior/parking lot impression are recurring concerns in the excerpts. Breakfast is also a point of inconsistency in guest feedback, with at least one review disputing its availability despite it being listed as included.
