8/10 Very Good! (790 reviews)

Roomy with nice staff and parking onsite. The interior was slightly aged, and could have used with some (any) decoration. Generally clean and tidy. Would have appreciated if the toiletries provided were something other than 3-in-1.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (233 reviews)

The room was clean and well-equipped, with a jetted bathtub in the bathroom. When I asked about laundry facilities, the young woman in the office offered to do our laundry, washing and drying, for $10 per load. She did a great job on the laundry, completing the task very quickly. We found Amalfi Motor Lodge to be a quiet and comfortable place to stay.
