Room was clean for the most part, slight stain on one of the duvets but could have been pen or something. Only real issue was the heat/cool unit wouldn't stay on the correct setting. Beds could be more comfortable. 

Work trip

I went to visit family for a weekend. The hotel is older, but the folks are kind, considerate and accommodating. I was only there to sleep, and didn't stay in the room a lot, but everything worked and I was comfortable. 

As expected

Quiet, clean and restful hotel for my family.  Desk staff were very helpful and professional. Not far from route 95 and was recommended by the border patrol agent. Glad he sent us there. Plenty of eateries nearby and there.

Convenient stop.

Great place to stay in this quaint,  small town.  Rooms were newly renovated and very clean and comfortable.  Nice having some extra seating at desk and table, plus an arm chair.  Cozy bed with great pillows!   Only wish they had an area to gather together outside with family instead of in room.  Good location too with a few restaurants in walking distance.   If you visit, go to the museum! Would definitely stay again !

Very enjoyable stay !!

We reserved a room with a king bed. When we arrived our room was not ready; the desk clerk gave us the key to use later. We didn't get back until the office was closed (after 9:00 pm) and found that we had two double beds, not a king and not even a queen. We had requested the non-smoking wing, and the hallway reeked of cigarette smoke as did the bedding. The room was very dirty. What looked like a half-chewed potato chip on the arm of the chair, stains on all the bedding and towels, stained carpet, bathroom door would not close fully (bound on side and floor), the shower curtain rod was pulled down so it was impossible to keep the shower curtain closed, and all the furniture was very beat up and worn. A hand towel was placed on the side of the tub to use for a bathmat, and when we put the towel on the floor, clouds of dust and a dried up spider flew up from the floor. When we checked out, we said we had reserved a king bed, and the desk clerk said yes, that was in the reservation request but no king beds were available for our date and stated that someone should have told us that. We asked if there was a discount as we didn't get the room we reserved and were told no. Cannot recommend anything about this hotel and will never stay there again.

Do not stay here

Came up for a wedding . Unpacked everything and went to put the a/c fan on because the room smelled horrible. It worked for 4 seconds and never came back on! I had to open the window which was not easy and was nervous with the drunks at the bar so close to our room and window .  The bathtub has a giant hole in the side of the tub with white tape cover part of the hole. Why would you rent a room out in these conditions. The white bedding had pink stains going down through the first 2 layers!  Gross!!!  Beds felt old and every time you moved it sounded like rubber moving around . I was scared to even look. I just wanted this trip to end. We have stayed here in a room facing the street about 5 yrs ago and said not bad we will come again. After this visit never again and I hope people read the reviews first, they are certainly not putting money back into this place ! Which is sad because it has potential. I travel with my daughter for 3 days . This was an unpleasant stay and will not be coming back!

Never again

I had the displeasure of staying in this motel for 5 nights in April 2021. When I arrived, I found a half eaten slice of cheese in my drawer. There was a dirty sock on the floor presumably from the last desk (I picked it up and placed it in the trash). The floor of the bathroom had what appeared to be dried urine on the floor in front of the toilet. The floor of the bathroom was soft (rotten) and the toilet was not secure to the floor. The washcloth had what appeared to be blood stains all over it. The thermometer in my room was set at 55 degrees. It was in the 50's outside, but my room was crazy hot. Now for the worst part.....the first morning I was there, I took a shower, I placed my dirty towel on the floor of the bathroom and powdered my feet. I left the dirty wet towel, full of powder, on the pee stained floor and left for the day. When I arrived back in my room, the bed was made and I had what appeared to be fresh towels hung on the rack. The next thing that I noticed was the dirty sock that I had placed in the trash was now on top of the bathroom sink next to my toiletries. I washed my hands and grabbed a towel from the towel rack. I could immediately smell powder. I shook the towel and powder came off. I then realized they had picked up my dirty wet towel, from the pee stained floor, folded it and hung it back on the towel rack like it was a fresh towel. I put the do not disturb sign on my door for the remainder of my stay. After I checked out, I called the motel and asked to speak with the manager or owner. I was transferred to the owners voice mail. I left a message and asked for a call back. I am writing this 7 days later, and no call back. This motel deserves 0 stars. I can not believe anyone could possibly rate this over a one star. If this is the state of the motel during Covid, I can only imagine what it must be like when we are not in the middle of a pandemic. Do yourself a favor and drive an hour to the nearest Hotel !!

No way this Motel gets 3 1/2 stars !!!!

Very friendly staff and having the restaurant onsite was great.  The food was awesome and pricing was good.  The room was very nice with comfortable bed and very clean.  Check in and out process was very easy.

Great place to stay

The room was fine. It was clean but needed to be remodeled. We were having a hard time finding a place, so we stopped here. We would be willing to stay there again. The continental was just o.k., but many motels have hot items now.

Clean but Dated

The carpet in our room was old and looked dirty and the room smelled musty. So we opened the window to let some fresh air in but the cigar smoke from the person standing outside stunk worse than the room. (not the motel's fault but perhaps indicative of the clientele) It was a bit noisy when the bar closed out back, fortunately it was not too late. The "continental" breakfast consisted of mediocre coffee, orange juice, yogurt, and prepackaged bread products. Fortunately, there was a Dunkin Donuts nearby. The worse part was the water in the shower would only get warm, not hot. When we told the person at the desk upon checking out, he said nothing, no apology, nothing. The room was overpriced and no discounts were available.
