The Taj Majal it aint!

The room we had was OK and was clean but you get what you pay for in this part of the country. The motel is smack between the north bound and south bound highway so quiet it isn't but it wasn't all "that" bad. Our room was a standard queen bed and the rooms are quite small.
They have a free breakfast in the AM with do it yourself waffles, cereal, yogurt, boiled eggs, toast, bagels, some "fresh" fruit, and juices. One real bummer, and it happens in restaurants, are roaches, the small variety about one inch long. Well, there were a couple on the floor and one was in the waffle area and another in the bagel enclosure. My wife smashed one on the floor in front of the attendant who we told all this about prior to the smashing and she made an attempt to do something.
Well, I told the manager about it and shortly after I got back to our room he had the front desk person call me and she stated and I quote, "we investigated the bugs and found they were just raisins and crumbs".
That was quite an insult to my intelligence! Of course I politely told her that we weren't crazy and we weren't after anything but we were just trying to be courteous as bugs can happen.
Anyway.... Would I recommend it. Well, if you need to travel to downtown Philly, NO as it was a $4 toll every time you cross the bridge, but I couldn't find anything more affordable near the area (downtown Philly) that was affordable. But it was a room and a bed and it was clean as far as I could see, other than the roaches in the breakfast food!
I guess we are "dumb" enough to go back and did so after several days in Maryland. Hey... it's a room. And we knew how to get our way around, find the place and could navigate around from this spot.
