Steady improvement in customer service
This motel has existed, in various guises, for years. Past guests - even as recently as autumn 2014 - reported abrupt and even rude treatment from staff and management here. However, more recent reviews indicate that things have changed, with many receiving friendly, helpful service with a smile.

Good location for casinos
While it is possible to walk to central Philadelphia from this property, the nearby casinos are actually a big draw for guests. Many report that this is quite a reasonably priced option for the local area and is also close to a number of restaurants and local attractions.

Nice showers and comfy beds

Housekeeping problems
Despite the turnaround in customer service, there appear to be quite a lot of housekeeping issues to attend to here.

Weak Wi-Fi
Finally, guests reported problems with Wi-Fi, with many being entirely unable to connect on their devices.
