Clean room with good sound proofing. Staff is friendly and also the motel is pet friendly for a small fee. Breakfast items are limited and that's the only slight turn off I felt. But it's budget friendly and that's what matters the most.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was great, and the property itself was spacious with a large green area that made it feel relaxing. There was also ample parking, which was very convenient.

The receptionist was welcoming and friendly during check-in. The room was large, well-organized, and had plenty of power outlets. There was enough space for luggage, the beds were comfortable, and the hotel was very quiet, so I had a great night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. There was a small amount of dust in the room, but it was manageable and didn't affect the overall stay.

Breakfast was simple but good, and I appreciated that the hotel provided two complimentary bottles of cold drinking water per person.

Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would definitely consider staying here again.

I was pleasantly surprised with how great my stay was here! At this price, I was really concerned about quality but it was super clean and the check in staff was friendly and helpful. I was only here for one night, but here's the good and the bad. Pillows were surprisingly great. Bed was kinda hard but I prefer that to one thats too soft so it was good for me. Water pressure was good but the tub was kinda small and the bathroom set up was a little weird. Room had a fridge which worked well and a microwave which I didn't use. Room was spacious. It was dated but comfortable. AC worked well. There was also a dehumidifier which seemed to be working well. Between the AC and dehumidifier, there was constant white noise, which i actually like but ma bother some people. The pool was closed, which didn't bother me. Breakfast was pathetic, but who can really complain for the price. I would definitely recommend staying here for a no frills budget stay.

Honestly we didn’t expect much about this motel because the price was low. But it really is the best value inn in the area. The bathroom and the floor looks clean and well maintained. Good enough compliment breakfast with fresh fruits. Furthermore in walkable distance there are Walmart, Aldi and Applebee (10% off to show your room card). Everything’s perfect for us.

This is an average value minded motel. if you just need a place to rest your head, it's fine but if you are looking for something nice, keep it moving. My lady was not happy and pointed out all the flaws. I slept like a baby and saved a whole lot of cash not staying around the Watkin Glen area.

Room was clean, but definitely not as pictured on Expedia. Sheets had large stains and room was dark no matter if all the lights were on. The swing bar lock on the inside door was loose, like door had been forced open in past, not reassuring. Bathroom toilet had week flush. A/C and refrigerator worked well,so that was a plus. Rooms need updating and whole place needs a better maintenance man. Booked this place for the outdoor pool and it was green and disgusting. I was told by a staff member that the pool had been opened months prior, but there was a break in the fence and NY state would not let them open the pool until a certified welder could fix it. Staff member said no certified welders could be hired in the area due to a factory fire that all welders were called too. There was no notification until I asked about it, then a sign was put up at the front desk. I also was disappointed in the daily not so healthy breakfast options. It was dry cereal or microwavable oatmeal, nutrigrain bars, yogurt, an apple or mandarin, and a small coffee/tea/juice bar. I definitely got duped by the pictures. This place felt and looks like converted low income housing from the outside and I did question our safety in the evenings. If my husband had not been traveling with me, I would have checked out immediately and lost the money spent to find a safer place to stay. Staff was friendly and helpful, and so were any guests we saw. Place just needs some monetary investment to be better.

Right now it’s an okay place to stay if it’s on your way. The property needs a lot of maintenance. My husband commented that with the new materials we could fix it right up. That’s his trade and it drove him crazy seeing stuff he could fix with his tools and materials. He actually wanted to go inside and ask for a job. Oh and the pool was green! Not a good sign during the hottest part of summer, 4th of July weekend.

The only positive was that it was cheap and convenient for our trip. The property was quite old and run down. The pool was out of order. Room was musty and smelled a bit of mildew. It was quite muggy out during our stay, and the air conditioner did well cooling the room, but did nothing for the humidity. The sheets actually felt wet. Room was spacious, but needed updating. Bathroom was small. Grab and go breakfast was sufficient, but definitely paled in comparison to other hotel breakfasts we encountered. But again, the hotel was cheap and I guess you get what you pay for.

I like staying here as a rule. The price is right and the rooms are usually clean and comfortable. The pool is a big draw also. This time, the room was a little less clean and the curtains on one of the windows were pretty jenky. Also, the pool was out of order which put a big damper on it too. This is the first subpar experience I've had, so I'll chalk it up to an off time. I will give them another chance and hope it improves.

Honestly, the staff were lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Our door key reader didn't work and the maintenance person on staff was personable and kind and made sure we could get in and out no problem. Very helpful with extra towels and shampoo.

The room looks like it has never been cleaned. The linens were spotless, but the floor was literally covered in dirt amd debris and odd Legos. Cobwebs everywhere. I was uncomfortable walking anywhere in the room without shoes on.

The property is nice and quiet, breakfast was adequate, there was a fridge and microwave in the room, and the water is almost scalding hot straight out of the tap. But if you are a germaphobe at all, I would probably recommend booking at the Fairfield across the street.
