Very basic lodgings. Room was spacious and decently furnished including a refrigerator and microwave. Not even a vending machine in sight. Nothing nearby except a gas station and a small Wegmans down the road. It was what I needed at the time so I am satisfied but go with low expectations.

It's a place to lay your head. Couple bugs and spiders. Bathroom is old as the hills, but the bed had a really nice soft blanket on it.

Ok for the price just barely.

Place was clean but very out dated. Matress was good. Had refrigerator and microwave but no coffee pot. One building was shady looking probably local monthly rentals. If they put us in that one we would not have stayed there. The one we stayed in was ok. No big towels or kleenex.
