fishywood Posted November 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've noticed that since the new Comfort Suites opened up on the west side of I-95 and Striling Road the Quality Inn on the east side has been substantially lower priced that the other Oakwood Plaza area hotels. You would think that these Choice corporate cousins would conspire to keep rates up, not down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJ Posted November 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Given that hotel is probably the oldest on that corner, and the rooms open to the outside without an indoor corridor, it's not surprising it's rate is lower. The OP is also looking for a Sunday night it seems, and in looking at their site, it's quite a bit higher priced for Friday or Saturday. I don't feel unsafe in that immediate vicinity, but I wouldn't go strolling around in the middle of the night either. Further away from the hotel and plaza area, I have heard isn't the greatest area though. Edited November 26, 2015 by DanJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booze brothers Posted November 27, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks Dan.

stoddaj1 Posted November 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2015 We stayed there last year and it was fine. Nothing fancy, but we were pleased. It is close to a strip mall and a few fast food chains which are all within walking distance. The free shuttle to the port was a bonus and was very well organized.

If you had a couple nights, you might want to be a little more "touristy", but for basically a place that has dinner spots close by and a room for the night. I think this hotel was renovated in the not too distant past (although not sure to what extent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
