When you approach it, it is hidden. You have to drive through a torn up and derelict property to reach it. My friend referred it to a burned out ghetto and didn't want to stay. I missed the cancelation date so we stayed. The building needed maintenance on the outside. Inside you were welcomed by friendly staff, new carpet and fresh paint. The room was sparce with mismatched furniture. The hvac worked great.

Took a while to get hot water, at first I thought there wasn't any but after it ran for a while it finally got hot. The shower head had low pressure and the soap wouldn't lather. Side door was always ajar even at night so anyone could have come in.

Parking was convenient, staff friendly enough but had to ring a bell for service. Breakfast only on weekends. Room was fairly clean. You ger what you pay for.

Expedia never informed the hotel of my paid reservation. The person at the desk was extraordinarily kind and diligent. It took nearly an hour of calling Expedia, me on my personal phone and the hotel calling on its phone, to check. This was in no way the fault of the motel.. It was unacceptable on the part of Expedia. the room was large and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Soap and shampoo were very basic. The hotel was quiet. However, if I had seen the exterior of the hotel before I booked, I never would have stayed there. The driveway was long and had to pass a derelict uninhabited building before getting to the motel property. The building’s exterior looked ramshackle.

The staff was amazingly helpful with every problem we found. And there were a lot of problems found. Blood was found on the framework of the bathroom door. The toilet in both different rooms we were in was moving on the floor and banged every time you sat on it or got up like it was gonna break. The woodwork had greasy handprints all over it. You could smell cigarette smoke in the rooms, even though it was a non-smoking environment. There was a noisy casino machine that was on all night long and if anyone played it at three in the morning or five in the morning, it was very loud all the way down the hall. There was garbage outside all over the parking lot. If it wasn’t for the nice people that were managing it we would’ve moved on. We got a second room because there was no hot water in the shower only cold shower. This place needs a complete makeover or demolished.

The hotel was what I expected for $55/night. The person who checked me in at the desk was pleasant. Unfortunately, the smell in my area was a cross between a wet dog and an old ashtray. Even the air blowing from the AC unit had a similar smell. The hallway closer to the front desk had a different smell. My first night it smelled like a deep fryer and the second night it smelled like curry. (That was actually pleasant.) My room was relatively clean but did have a few stains on the bathroom floor. The bed was very very hard... My TV didn't work, which I discovered when I tried to use the remote which was covered in stickiness. In their defense I didn't notify them about the TV because I was grossed out after touching it... One good thing, it was a quiet place. I didn't hear any other guest noise.

When I alerted customer service on here, they contacted the motel, which is resulted in them flat out lying saying that breakfast was served every day. Absolutely absurd.

Do Not Stay Here - Dangerously Unclean

TL;DR - Do not stay here. Moldy bathrooms.
I'd like to preface my comment by saying that I have stayed in a broad spectrum of accommodations. This one was easily the worst. I stayed just long enough to sit down and book a room in a different hotel. Do not trust the images on the website.
The interior hallway smells like smoke and the beds make an unnerving metallic/iron creak if you so much as look at them. I can look past all that. I've stayed in worse. But my room was less of a hotel room and more of a... previous crime scene.
I'm not sure how many rooms are like this, but one is too many. This hotel should ne be able to list their accommodations on any site.

Adequate for price. Stayed one night. I did not use the TV or shower, just slept.

Major complaint: Hard to find motel, even with GPS. Coming down Route 11, \"Harrisburg Pike\", from Interstate 81 I failed to identify their driveway with too-small sign for the motel. The motel is set 500 feet back from the highway, perhaps more.

From I-81, you need to make left turn against traffic to enter a poorly marked driveway. First time I missed driveway, GPS led me around past a derelict building next door. Nearby are defunct businesses , not lit, apparently vacant. \"Harrisburg Pike\" is poorly lit and has a steady stream of semi-trucks going both directions.

The floor was hard surfaced faux linoleum but clean. My room was very large. Furniture was shopworn but entirely adequate for the price. The wheeled desk chair was good on the linoleum.

Minor complaint: My window opening to front parking lot was actually unlocked the whole time. I only noticed the next morning when packing up.

I would not want to be staying there without access to a car. Harrisburg Turnpike is dark, full of semi-trucks, no sidewalk, hostile to pedestrians.

The area did not seem unsafe or \"ghetto,\" just old worn down strip development. The abandoned structure (dead motel awaiting teardown?) next door seemed erie and ominous to me, a grown man. I wondered if it had squatters inside. You get what you pay for.

This hotel should be taken off Hotel.com. very old establishment. Driving up to it horrifying when u see the vacant run down Hotel and banquet in front. Hotel sits back off road at night no lights to entrance of hotel only see lights pass the vacant hotel. Entrance has no indication a hotel is back there no Plyon Sign . Have to drive pass vacant building down a hill which had big pot holes.
Look like they started renovation and stopped. Room had a hole fixed and not painted just the plaster showing. Sheets was old and stretched at corners so really didnt stay on the bed. Sheets had holes in them. Room was clean. Bathroom was very old looking. Water pressure in very limited in shower and hot water wasn't up to par. Wash sink had no pressure on hot water setting only cold water.
Room appliances fridge/microwave outdated.
First walked in had a strong mildew odor when checking in. And the area where they have breakfast needs cleaning or something.

For the pricing it is pretty decent, It is pretty quiet and the staff is kind. When I got to the hotel, the first thing I noticed when arriving to my room was the spiders. Being as though I was roomed near the door I assumed it was just through some people leaving it open as they left. Inside the hotel room, I had noticed more spiders inside the bathroom and in the room itself, as well as the tub was dirty. The main issue I had was there was black mold on the ceiling in the hall, again for the price a decent place to stay but cleanliness could be better.

You Get What You Pay For

If you're looking for a budget-friendly hotel with all the charm of a quirky old movie set, this place might just be your dream come true. Let me start by saying, it's not exactly the Ritz, but if the price is right and you just need a bed to crash in, it could be your best bet.

First off, it seems to double as a weekly rental spot where some folks have set up camp long-term. The TV was more of a decorative piece—didn't work, but hey, who needs TV when you have puddles from a leaky mini fridge to keep you entertained? The toilet had a personality of its own, wobbling like it was auditioning for a dance show (not just the seat, the whole throne).

Showering here is an adventure, like solving a complex puzzle. The fixtures were so loose, setting the temperature was a game of \"guess and get scalded or frozen.\" Towels with mysterious blue stains added a touch of avant-garde art to the experience.

And then there's the pool. It's there, alright, but it looks like it's been retired from service for a while. Condemned might be a harsh word, but let's just say I wouldn't dive in anytime soon.

One of the amenities listed was a Casino, Nothing says high-stakes like spinning the reels while waiting for my waffles to toast. By \"casino\" they mean two lonely slot machines in the breakfast area.

In summary, this place is a bit of a dump compared to other hotels, but if you need a cheap bed and enjoy a touch of adventure in your stay, it might be just what you're looking for!

Disgusting, reeks of decades of cigarette smoke

The entire building was in disrepair and smelled horrible. I walked in to the front desk staff emptying an entire can of Glade up and down the hallway, like it would help. The room smelled like it had been smoked in everyday for decades even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. And there were mold stains on the ceiling tiles. The one bed in our room was broken so the entire one side tilted down. We were in the room for half an hour and my eyes were burning, our skin itches and my kids started to cough and wheeze. So we booked a room somewhere else and left. I talked to the front desk who claimed they would give us a full refund and to give them 24 hours for it to go through. It's been 5 days and attempts to contact them have not been returned. I disputed the transaction with my bank. DONT BOOK HERE.

Piles of garbage and rotted wooden fencing outside hotel room window. While staff was accommodating the ceilings in the hallway had black mold like sections in patches of 12 inches in diameter. The doors to the rooms had large gaps of light and although the sheets appeared clean found one bug (not a bed bug or tick) the towels were stained with yellowish spots in the bathroom.
