The photos depicted on the website are not representative of the condition of the room we stayed in for 4 days. It was over 50 years old. Never updated. Embarrassed to have had my family stay there. But they accept dogs, so. Staff was lovely.

Location is good, right off the I-81. I didn't realize the hotel was the hotel since there is no big sign out front. The woman at the front desk was wonderful. She had been working all day and evening when I saw her and she was still delightful and very helpful. The room was clean, but the bathroom was very dated with peeling wallpaper, rust on the ceiling and also mold on the ceiling above the shower. Despite being completely full, the hotel was fairly quiet. Breakfast was limited. I just had toast and coffee. There was a waffle maker too.

Beds were clean and comfortable. Staff was courteous. Breakfast was ok. Hotel could use some renovations. Bathtub was stained (not dirty). Fine for our purposes of one night. Much cheaper stay than surrounding hotels.

We stayed 1 night. The bed was very comfortable like sleeping on a cloud. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of towels. The staff was polite and friendly. Be prepared to get early start at continental breakfast, limited supply.

Old hotel requiring major renovations, which they say are on-going. Minimal staffing but they were very responsive, helpful professional and so nice. Big thank you to the staff!

The room was clean and the staff was friendly, but the hotel could use some updates. The wallpaper in my room was peeling at the edges, for some reason the TV station I wanted to watch didn’t come in, and the breakfast buffet was pretty minimal.

This is an older property in the process of renovation. We rented two rooms and check in was easy and convenient. The front entrance trash bin was overflowing and they seem to attempt to cover challenges with air fresheners rather than tight consistent practices. One of our rooms had a pretty badly stained tub surface. The beds were clean and comfortable. The climate units smelled a bit musty and I actually cleaned the A/C filter screens myself (2 minutes effort and some disinfectant spray would be a good daily housekeeping practice). The staff were very helpful and polite! Overall OK given our last minute booking, but they need to routinize practices and finish their renovations.

Very old. No molding in the bathrooms, torn carpeting in the hallway. Not worth the money at all. Friends stayed at the Motel 6 and it was clean and well presented.

For the price you pay, it's a quaint little hotel! It was clean, comfortable and quiet! The staff was friendly and checked in with us often. The breakfast didn't have any hot options other than waffles and bagels, but it was still a nice spread for being included in the price. This was our second stay, and it was overall a great experience!
