This is a transient motel and the the other guess are people that the gov is paying their way. I'll be so very lucky if I didn't bring home bed bugs! Actually my room was ok but I wouldn't stay there again if you paid me to stay there. You really shouldn't list this a place to stay

Good afternoon, The gov is not paying for anyone to stay here. I wish that if you had a problem you would have spoke with the manager. I'm so sorry that you didn't like the motel. I hope you have a wonderful day.

More parking spaces around the motel would be nice. The "emergency number" is a voice-mail that's not regularly checked. Carpet definitely could use replacing. Staff is friendly. Location is quiet, nice rural town.

Not the best
The pool was out of service the last 2 days of our stay. The internet was absolutely terrible and never worked. The beds were too small, they only have us 2 pillows on each bed. I had to go buy pillows. The curtain didnt shut all the way. I had to tie them shut with a hair tie.

Not awful, not great…
It’s an older motel, the room seemed clean, just older furniture that has been used. The only issue I had was with roaches. There are families living in the rooms connected to mine, and when the exterminator came for a “few select” rooms, I guess the bugs weren’t happy and came to visit in my room. Was a bit perturbed by this, and upon leaving everything went into a garbage bag and tightly sealed. When I arrived home I shook out everything, washed everything, but never did see a roach. Other than that, I felt safe in the area, and the housekeepers were very pleasant. Not sure I’d stay again, probably pay a bit more and stay in Rehoboth to be closer to things.

Nice stay
They left us check in early which was great. The room initially smelled musty when we walked in but after we were in the room we think it was the abundance of the cleaning agents. The room was very clean. Staff were very friendly. I only had one complaint, which was, we were in a non-smoking room but the rooms on either side were smoking and the tenants would sit outside to smoke so we were greeted with the smoke whenever we would come and go. And after 10pm there were people outside talking and we could hear their conversation while trying to go to sleep.

Last chance, should've known better!
We booked a room online and when we arrived no one was there in office! Note on door that said, "call in case of emergency"! We called n texted several times...no response! We were w/I transportation and had to sleep outside! When we finally got a room after 8a.m, the floor was wet n our feet turned black. The comforter was VERY dirty, we asked to switch rooms but request was denied!!!

Cockroach issue in motel *saw two cockroaches*
I have very basic expectations which are even lower than most travelers. I just need a clean room, no insects and in a safe area. The check in process was good but when I walked into my room, I saw a cockroach. Then I turned the light on in the bathroom and saw another cockroach on the edge of the ceiling. I did not stay here. This is only the 2nd time in more than 30 years of traveling where things were so bad that I walked away. The other reviews about cockroaches were genuine. The owner really needs to take care of the cockroach issue before renting out more rooms. If you stay here, I recommend you keep your lights on.

Lots of families/extended stay people there. Saw a person with a clipboard and a state (DE) badge checking in on some people like it was a parole check in…. Dead roach in the bathtub. Staff was friendly. Just don’t expect much. They charge your booking up front, so if you have an emergency and need to check out early, they will not refund. I felt safe, but wouldn’t recommend.
