We really liked this motel. The arrival was very easy and we got right into our room with no problems. I liked how we just had a code to open the door. Made it easy.

The room was very comfortable and clean. My only request would be for the winter months to provide an extra blanket. The heater took a while to properly heat up the room. I very much enjoyed my stay. Will be coming back soon!

Nearly immaculate room had very good lighting, was equipped with microwave and (gurgling) fridge. Also came with a surprising supply of gratis snacks -- and earplugs, which some may find useful for blocking the sound of trucks on 395. Adirondack chairs outside each of the 6 rooms contributed a welcoming touch. Note: this is a remotely operated motel with no staff on site. Also, for the price of a room, guests have a right to expect an ice machine. Shower head was uncomfortably low, while bath towels were of excellent quality. Oddly, hand towels were of only fair quality, and wash rags were so thin they might have come from Motel 6. Instead of snacks, how about bottled water?

Simple check in with code. Didn't need help but it was a text away. Snacks for morning good. Everything clean. Bathroom shower needed a bit of fixing. Possible noise from highway but we had ac running... they supply ear plugs just in case

Thank you for your hospitality

Nice curb appeal for a motel with 2 new android chairs, rose bushes and flowering shrubs. Basic bed with basic linens just ok. Room was updated recently just enough to cover the dated establishment A/C worked great, refrigerator had a constant humming noise so we turned it off. Complimentary snacks were very plentiful and appreciated. May we suggest to include 2 bottled water? Easy reservation and check in with code for room door. No front desk, any problems you must text # to contact. Best value with comfort in the surrounding towns that didn’t look like your grandparents 1980 furniture and bedspread. Many upscale hotels in the area but wanted something reasonable for 1 night passing through. Thank you for your hospitality.
