Room was out-dated and run down. It was clean on the surface level but it smelled like smoke and had stains on the tub and sink from years of use. Check-in was easy and friendly but definitely not worth the price. Pay the extra $50 and stay somewhere nicer.

I stayed here a few years ago. It was very clean then, so I came back when I needed a stay for an overnight in Branford. It's still very clean and comfortable and quiet. It's a simple motel, but that's what I like and drive right up to the front door and feel safe and confident that you're in a good place.And the staff is very nice. It was an easy check in which I appreciate and the king bed was beautiful. Grocery store across the street and dunkin' donuts is just about next door so very convenient. The most important things to me in motels or hotels is cleanliness and safety. Refrigerator and microwave in the room were sparkling clean. It's basic but clean and everything you need is here. If you are traveling, it's convenient to 95, i mean, it would be so easy to wake up here if you're traveling and just grab a coffee and jump on the highway. Highly recommend this place because of all these reasons. Thank you for another nice visit.
