I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was pet friendly, which was crucial for me, my girl, and our 2 dogs, especially after seeing the dreadful pet friendly room we had originally booked next door at the Red Roof Inn. The room was nice and cool, well stocked with pots and pans, everything you would need to make a nice dinner.

The hotel location had its ups and downs. It was tight for parking and had questionable people in-and-around the parking lot, but it was close to the University of Delaware campus and a liquor store. The Main Street and surrounding area were convenient for purchasing snacks and small meals.

The breakfast hours were convenient from 7:30 am to 10 am, although the selection was grab-and-go style. It would be nice to have more variety for a better dining experience.
