You cannot check in if you arrive after 11 p.m. The front desk closes at 11 p.m. and no one will answer your call. A very unpleasant staff! They will not accommodate you in any way if you arrive after 11 p.m.

Avoid this place like the plague. It is very misrepresented here. Filthy and the smell was horrendous. Reaked of cigarettes and animals. We didnt stay it was so bad yet the owners wouldn't refund the cost nor would Expedia. Traveled a few minutes further found a great place for less than this. They should be ashamed to even have this place on here. We can handle older accommodations but not the filth oh and did I mention torn shower curtain and burn holes in the bedding. I could go on and on. Don't walk away run.

The room decor was dated but generally clean. It did have a strong odor of smoke for being a non- smoking room, so I was grateful I had air freshener spray. The bathroom fixtures were all very clean, but I did have a washcloth stained (maybe with rust?) and there was some evidence of black mold on the bathroom walls. It was a cheap room for one night, and fine, but I don’t think I would stay there again. Beds were pretty comfortable.

Perhaps a little long in the tooth, but I don't mind the classic 1960s era. I prefer this to a cookie cutter motel without character. The Wye had what I needed, and at an affordable rate. Very satisfied and front desk was very nice and helpful. I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation about staying here again if I'm passing the Altoona area.

Two-night stay during May 20206. Plenty of parking but getting in/out can get tricky depending on how people park and in which direction you're headed. Check-in was easy and the staff made a great recommendation for dinner. The motel is a mid-20th century motor lodge and that's what it looks like and that's what's offered. The room was an OK size and included a mid-size fridge, a microwave, a window air conditioner, and a small tv (with a lousy picture). No coffee maker. The bathroom was small with only small packages of \"facial soap\". Towels were small and thin. Wifi seemed to work ok most of the time but my phone kept finding the drop-out zones, so I had to keep re-loading (wife's phone did not have the same problem). The room was clean but my wife said it smelled like antiseptic cleaners. Bed was \"ok\" on the comfort index, not great but not bad. No breakfast, no restaurant in the motel. It sounds like I'm slamming the place but it was a great deal for what we wanted: just a place to sleep and take a shower after a couple days of hiking in the area. Convenient to main roads and nearby restaurants.

hotel was disgusting. Old and dirty and had cheap perfume sprayed in large amounts to cover the smell. It was a sickening smell. There were two long time residents staying there (confirmed with front desk) one was female and riding a motorcycle with the music very loud. I was threatened when I asked her to turn down the music and I went to the front desk to get a refund because both residents then sat next to my room to try and intimidate me. I had to get an escort from the front desk to me room to gather my things as I was afraid they would try to attack me. I spoke with the owner on the phone who was rude and would not give me a refund even though I was only there for a bit over one hour. I almost called the police. What ever you do don't stay here, you are better off sleeping in your car.

The room was certainly dated.
I have stayed at this location many times over the years but is has been years,since my last stay and found the pricing to have out-paced any upgrades.
The old non-functioning heaters are still in-place in both the sleeping area and bathroom and look terrible.
The heat and ac are provided by a small through-the-wall ac/heatpump that worked well but the location caused the blower noise to compete with the television.
The television was a newer flat screen with a good picture, but whenever it was turned on, i had the change the input for hdmi1 to hdmi2 on the tv itself, the remote would not bring up input settings.
The telephone did not work. I had to call the front desk on my cell phone.
The bed itself was comfortable, but the pillows were ridiculously small. It appeared that a throw pillow sized pillows were used and the standard size pillow cases were folded in to give the appearance of fitment..very uncomfortable for sleeping or watching tv in bed.
After tax etc., I payed $190 + for two nights which is too much considering the dated nature of the room and mentioned issues.
There exterior was ok, parking good, location good.
Unfortunately, after 20 years of staying there, for the rates now being charged, I will pay a few dollars more and stay somewhere that offers modern features and amenities.

It was okay to stay in for one night. It was very roomy, with big furniture pieces. I was not sure about whether to shower in the little shower stall the room has. Bathroom should probably be updated. Bathroom fan was very loud so i couldn't keep the light on in there with for slightly open, so i could see if i woke up in middle of night. I ended up laying a towel around the wass lamp by bathroom to cutdown light, but did not cover the open top.

Simple, clean, and honest.

Room was tidy and freshly cleaned. Staff was friendly and courteous. Highway noise can be disruptive but thay's not their fault, and it does mean that food is seldom more than a 5 min drive in any direction. It's leagues above the vast majority of other non-chain hotels that call themselves budget friendly, and it still manages to check all the boxes that one would need for a comfortable short stay. WYEML is very much a \"what you see is what you get\" kind of place and doesn't try to be anything it's not. All in all, if you just need a comfortable place to relax after travel, have a hot shower, lay your head down, and you can do without the high thread count egyptian cotton sheets, hot tub, and pool access, then WYE Motor Lodge a great place to stay.

This building has been around a long time. Probably since the 50s or 60s. The outside maintenance is top notch. Nicely groomed lawn and shrubbery. The building looks very well maintained on the outside. There is plenty of parking. It's in a great location. The WYE intersection and roadway is busy but not heard from inside your room. I am over 60 years old and remember this building my whole life. The rooms are outdated and I feel the carpet needed replaced in our room as it just seemed old and dirty. The windows were in need of a good cleaning. The bathroom although out dated was adequate and kind of neat to see the tile work from the 50s or 60s. The price of the rooms was equal to the quality of the room. If you're looking for a high end, fancy and updated rental then I suggest you keep looking. If you're tolerant of imperfections and curious about the older Wye Motor Lodge then go for it!
