Krystal Penguin Motel

My wife and I would fall back to this hotel in a great location on Route 1 when rain, bad backs, or just plain laziness conspired against tent camping. Under different management (the Blue Dolphin?), it was nothing to write home about, but was a reliable, affordable, and CLEAN base from which a young couple could afford to head out to the beach and other summer fun.
Things originally seemed ok when the place was renamed, no issues of note and the new owners were very friendly (and remained so).
Our last stay, however, revealed this as a place at which we could no longer stay. The room contained a smell that seemed to be a horrible blend of mildew and cigarette smoke; the beds’ comforters felt damp and even Ozium could do nothing about the stench.
It was so bad we actually cut our vacation in the area short. I wish otherwise as it’s very close to some of our favorite vacation spots, but the experience has left us unwilling to risk trying similarly priced hotels in the area.
