Reviews
The hotel has a convenient location and some rooms are comfortable, but there are numerous issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and noise. Many guests have reported problems with the sink, bathtub, heater, and cleaning staff making noise early in the morning. There is no 24-hour service, and some guests have had issues with the front desk not being helpful. Additionally, some rooms have a dirty smell, and there have been reports of holes in the walls and wallpaper hanging off.

The outside is nice and easy to find, and the staff and management are friendly and very supportive. The room I received had an unpleasant smell and was not well-ventilated, but I was supported in changing it. Note: if I have the chance to come back next time, I will book a room facing the street.

Good price Nice staff Small breakfast items. Jackhammering in the daytime. It’s fine, I get it, but there was nothing stopping some rocks from flying and hitting my car, definitely had a few nicks and tons of dust from jackhammering the pool concrete. Even something as simple as putting up a tarp on the fence would have helped greatly.

The location and price were decent and the parking was free, which were the driving factors in booking the room, as well as the decent reviews it had for comparable properties. The water pressure in the shower was solid (our favorite part of our stay). There were multiple amenities in the room such as a fridge, microwave (hard to find microwaves in rooms anymore!), coffee maker, and ironing board (but no iron). There was a continental breakfast, but we checked out early and weren't able to try it, so I can't speak to the quality/value. The A/C unit was easy to use. There was a surprisingly nice/modern mirror and an eco friendly toilet (pee/poo flushing options). We booked a non-smoking room, and even if it is currently marked as non-smoking, it overwhelmingly smelled like old, stale smoke, so if you book those rooms because you're sensitive to the smell, be warned. The walls were thin and we heard everything - the person with the very creaky door who left exiting and entering their room next to us, and since we were right next to the highway, it sounded like we were sleeping on the sidewalk. The weird thing we saw right away was the tissue pressed into the peephole in the door....because it was broken and blocking the cold? There was an ironing board, but no iron and no hair dryer, so be forewarned if you rely on those when traveling. The bathroom needed some TLC: the tub had a layer flaking off of it (if you wanted a bath....no....just, no...), the toilet roll was broken, at least 1 towel was covered in someone else's hair, the towels were small and rough (didn't work well to "wrap" in), and the shampoo/conditioner/body wash mounted/refillable containers were crusted over and dingy - if it loads for you, here is a video of me pressing down on the conditioner and it shooting out sideways because the crusty pump only had a small opening on the side for the body wash to exit through: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UQPi9OdIu5CdlUHo3ZZ0UkGlz-tiskQp/view?usp=drive_link (not appealing, but it did make me laugh). None of these made me feel unsafe or particularly uncomfortable but it was only a step above that.

The location was good. We moved from four different rooms in two days and moved to another hotel for the last day. The first room we were given had not been cleaned beds unmade, towels on the bed, so we were given another room. The room seemed ok until the TV turned on by itself every four hours or so and in the morning to take a shower the nob was very difficult to pull out to get the water running, so after we got ready we went down for breakfast around 8:30am to find very little breakfast items available. We asked for a new room and at first glance it seemed fine but missed the hole in the ceiling and the shower ended up having hair in it. We requested another room and moved everything again and left for the day. We got back that night and went to bed, but then my wife woke up after midnight very itchy and found red marks on her legs. We pulled the blankets off and found bugs that were in the bed. We called in the morning and told them we were moving out and went to another hotel for the last night of our trip. We did get a refund for most of the stay and it did cover the cost of the new hotel room.

Minimal breakfast choices. We were put around back. Very noisy. People coming and going all night long. Not one good night of sleep. TV didn't work. Front desk gentleman very nice and helpful. Had to go to another hotel to check out. Had to ask for hairdryer. Large gap between door and frame. Let alot of light and cold in. Phone blinked all night.

Nothing. All of it our sheets were ripped and when we asked for new ones they gave us sheets with mystery stains. The phone in the room didn’t work and the wifi was unavailable.

It looks like a real nice place and the rooms have recently been redone to look very nice with microwave, coffee maker, TV and a nice mule on the wall. The only problem is there was a ton of mold all around the bathroom tiles, especially by the bathtub. I wouldn't stay there again until I'm sure that problem is fixed. The mold all around the bathroom tiles in room 116

Good rate and right off Route 50. For a motel it was fine.
