Don't book this place! It is dirty and decrepit and there is no service and no one at the office. It feels unsafe to stay here. On the day we left there was a creepy person hanging out in their car all morning. AVOID!!

We motorcycle across Northeast America 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 and love to find original places to stay. This «roadside » motel was perfect with its vintage feel. Loved it.

Sheets didn’t fit. But staff replaced the next morning. Also no fire alarm. The owner got one for us the next days. Cleaning staff said none had fire alarms in the units. But we did have a ring to but the alarm in. Owner was very helpful. I would stay for short term again. But would make sure they had a afire alarm

Good price for the area
Tons of other people’s hair in the bathroom. Gross. The girl at the front desk was super friendly. The rooms are like stepping back to the 70’s or 80’s, electric baseboard heating, and all. If you want to be close enough to the touristy area, without it costing an arm and a leg, this is a good choice. Hopefully, you’re doesn’t come with complimentary stranger hairs in the bathroom.

The place looks like it hasn’t changed a bit since the 60’s. Walked to the bathroom and the bottom of my feet turned black. The room didn’t feel very secure. Definitely won’t stay there again. It was cheap though and available at the last minute.

There apparently is no sound proofing between rooms. The people talking next door (when we were trying to sleep) sounded as if they were in our room. After a few hours of sleep (finally) their talk awakened us at 4am.

For an older motel, it was in fairly good shape. Bed was good, but the laundry items (sheets , towels etc.) all had a heavy perfume odor , most likely the detergent they use or dryer sheets. That happens to be a pet peeve of ours and we will learn to ask ahead. Most everything else I would say was made up of inexpensive repairs and cheap furniture. Par for the price I would say.
