“Very Scary”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I booked this hotel after checking the reviews on tripadvisor, they didn't seem too bad. So I was pretty shocked about what I saw when i arrived at the hotel.

It's a total dump. The entire place looks like it hasn't been updated since the early 1980s, dark green carpeting, plastic faux wood panelling, rickety furniture, uncomfortable mattresses. I arrived at 12.30am on a Wednesday, and the night staff was scary too. Unkempt, dirty sweatshirt, the guy at reception looked like he's the janitor.

The room was dirty, there were weird blue spots all over the linen and the color of the pillow cases and sheets was grey, rather than white. Both in the room and in the bathroom there was a number of old mounting brackets for god knows what still screwed to the wall. The ceiling looked like it had several spots with water damage and was patched and painted over in several spots.

Wireless was not usable, I did get connected, but it kept timing out.

I only give the place two stars because in the end there were no bed bugs and I survived the night unscathed, but i will certainly not be back.

“Value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

I stay at this hotel every time i come to Milford and i always have a good stay, Love the location with the Friendly's diner next door do great food you have the mall and movie theater 10 min walk away and a supermarket and other stores a few mins walk the other direction.
The room was a good size and cleaned everyday..clean and extra towels, soaps and condiments topped up and beds changed daily.
I was pleased to see they had WiFi available which had good speed had one or two occasions only where it wouldnt connect.
Really enjoyed the heated indoor pool, hot tub and sauna and were lucky enough most times to have the place to ourselves.I found the staff very helpful and friendly either being calling us cabs or advice or directions on places to go. My only disappointment was the outdoor pool not being there and the guy who works the evening shift is a little unfriendly.

“Good for the price for one nite-but needs updating”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I had a business meeting in the area last thursday evening. a google search showed that this was the closest hotel to the location.

Found a room for one night- at $51.19+ tax. Located right off exit 39-A of interstate 95.It shares the property with a friendly's restaurant. next door was a 24 hr diner that came recommended by the desk clerk who was friendly and helpful.

Our room- 504- had a king size bed,small sofa, a wet bar with a small refrigerator, and a safe. The furniture was old but in acceptable condition. The 27 inch tube tv- had good reception on HBO.

This ho-jo does offer "home office" rooms.I didn't see a business center. There was a small exercise room but there was no time to use it.

There is no room service but the diner and several other restaurants do offer delivery.

Mattresses were fine but the pillows were too soft. We did hear some road noise from route 1 and interstate 95.

We did use the indoor heated pool- bathtub warm- and the jacuzzi. The mini-golf was closed-probably for the season.

The free wi-fi didn't work well. It took ages to connect and when it did it was very slow. We did mention this to the manager upon check-out.

As this property was built in 1983, some updating and refreshing is in order. But for a nite or two- its fine.

Room Tip: ask for a room on the 5th floor all the way in the back away from route 1 and interstate 95.

“perfect getaway”

person found this review helpful

i thought for the price , this wouldve been the wrong choice hotel, but instead it was the perfect getaway for me and my kids. heated pool, clean room, friendly staff and surrounded by wonderful restaurants ! we also had a fridge and safe in our room, which i didnt expect. kids were disappointed that the mini golf was closed but they had a blast in the pool area.
