Convenient location to Philly airport with a free shuttle. Reasonably priced, clean, comfortable rooms with a view of the Delaware River. If you’re not sight-seeing and need lodging close to the airport this place checks all the boxes. Restaurants within walking distance.

The view from the room was absolutely beautiful, and I loved how close it was to the airport with the complimentary shuttle, but also, it was remarkably quiet. It’s not mentioned, but it’s also next door to a historic park which was nice to walk through and sit by the water. The front office was small and I was skeptical, but I highly recommend getting a room with a view, request the third floor if you’re able!

There is lots of parking in front of hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice and served the purpose we needed. You definitely hear some sounds outside the room but that is to be expected for any motel type of setup. It wasn't an issue for us. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!

We didn't need a wheelchair accessible room, yet we were put in one, right at the front on the building. All night you heard loud talking, doors shutting etc. The temperature control was janky...either too hot or cold. At one point the room filled with the smell (& smoke) of someone smoking weed outside. The bed was hard as a rock. Neither of us got much sleep before our flight out the next day.
