Great little independent motel. Staff were helpful at check in and the bed was comfortable. Nothing fancy about it at all but amazing value for the price I paid compared to how the big brands are gouging you today. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever back in the area.

Comfortable, Quiet, A family owned business -not a chain- who will go above and beyond to give you a good night stay. Close to a Stop& Shop Supermarket which has beer and wine. Easy Access to Branford and Thimble Islands. I have provided an annual Fundraising event for the Branford Library for the past 3 years and this has been my place to stay.

The winter season pricing is great. It’s very convenient to interstate 95 and a grocery store. Several good restaurants are close as well as a coffee shop. The room was basic but clean and quiet which is what we needed. Next time in the area we will stay again for the location and value.
