What a wonderful little place. Right off the bat my boyfriend and I were greeted by the owner Tony, very sweet man and super accommodating. For an older building I was extremely surprised about the quality. The rooms were your typical vintage bedding and furniture but in good and clean condition. Free Wi-Fi and DirecTV cable. Location is very convenient (Wawa, Chick-fil-A, Smoke Shop, Bank, Auto Repair Shop, Mexican Restaurant, etc.) all in walking distance. With not being from the area and with EXTREMELY SLIM options of places to pick from, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Relax Inn and would MOST DEFINITELY return!
The owners are very nice and helpful. My room is basic but clean and comfortable. The TV and available channels are great. WiFi service is adequate. Absolutely no complaints. Scott
I travel for work and was referred to this hotel by a local guest. This is an affordable, nice, C L E A N & quiet find. I've stayed at this location several times & each time the staff is friendly, accommodating & courteous. The other guests were also reserved and respectful. I will stay here in the future.
Under new ownership, very clean room. Owners/ manager is very accommodating and polite! Would recommend for travelers and nightly stays!
