The outside of the motel was a bit worn, but the room was clearly newly renovated. It was very clean, well-appointed, good wi-fi for streamed tv, and had a generous supply of fluffy towels. The one drawback was the outside floodlights that beamed directly into the (upstairs) room all night.

We stayed here for 2 nights over the weekend to go snowboarding to Mountain Creek. It was a great experience as it was very close by and had restaurants and a liquor store walking distance. The room itself was very very nice! We did not expect that, but were happy to find out! The bed was big and comfortable, nice big table, mini fridge, and microwave. Also we had a MASSIVE smart tv. The bathroom was also very clean and comfortable with great hot water.
Jackie checked us in and told us to text her for anything we needed. We only had to text her once for small question about the heater and she answered very promptly and nicely. Check in and check out was excellent as well.

Only two things I believe could’ve improved our experience. One, the floor was dirty. Not enough to see stains or anything like that but we could feel tiny rocks and debris which was very annoying, specially before getting into bed that we had to wipe our feet. The other thing was the bathroom sink. It would take its sweet time to drain. Sometimes we had to take turns brushing our teeth, washing our face or hands to wait for the water to go down to prevent overflowing.

However those two were minor issues with all the other great things. Will absolutely come back for my next visit to Mountain Creek!!

The exterior of the motel looks a little older, but the room was super cute, very clean, and comfortable! Jackie, the manager, was so kind, responsive, and welcoming. I texted her before checkout to let her know the tub was clogged (it was that way when we arrived and we didn’t realize until late at night), and she apologized right away and said her husband would take care of it. The motel was fully booked for the weekend but still super quiet — we didn’t hear our neighbors at all! We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful!

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! over the summer I had gotten burned multiple times staying at motels that weren't nearly as clean as the Hotels.com photos made them seem to be. This place looked amazing! The building is old but the owner is in the process of remodeling everything, starting with the rooms. The rooms looked incredible, all brand new furniture and super clean. The bed was firm, I like firm mattresses but some people may not. It was delightfully cozy and the owner was super friendly and helpful with local food recommendations. Will definitely keep this place on my radar!

I had a family reunion on a Saturday in Warwick, NY, and my 18-year-old daughter and I drove up the night before from Virginia. Knowing we’d be arriving very late, I was looking for something affordable just to stay the night, attend the reunion, and head back home the next day.

We stayed at the Sussex Inn Motel, located about 30 minutes from the reunion site, and I was very happy with our stay. We arrived a little after midnight, but the motel owner texted me ahead of time to confirm our arrival and provided clear instructions on how to access our room using the lockbox.

The room was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed, including enough towels. We were able to park directly in front of our room, which was convenient. We briefly met the owner in the morning; she was very welcoming and kind.

The motel is not fancy, but it was perfect for a short, no-frills stay. My daughter and I both felt safe throughout the night. The only things we would have liked to see: a full-length mirror in the room and a deadbolt on the front door for added peace of mind. We did notice that the door had to be pulled firmly to latch completely; at one point, it wasn’t closed tightly and blew open with the wind.

Despite that small issue, I would definitely stay here again. It was clean, comfortable, and affordable...just what we needed. Plus, there is a Dunkin’ just 0.2 miles up the road, and the Holland American Bakery, only 0.4 miles away, sells drip coffee for just 25 cents!

The Sussex Motel is one of those simple 1960's era motels that are fast disappearing. You know the type: drive up and park right in front of your door, you have an old fashioned metal key, the room is spacious enough to sleep 12, if you had to. But, the place has been modernized -- and nicely at that. It's clean, everything works, the water pressure is forceful and the staff is delightful.
One thing, though: there is no one manning a front desk, so you must have a cell phone to check in. You call the number posted on the office door, and the charming young lady who runs the motel comes out, greets you, hands you that old fashioned key and gives you the run-down on all the sites and eateries and taverns within a 5-mile radius of the motel. Couldn't ask for better than that! Very good, all around.

this motel is very convenient and affordable. not a fancy place, and a bit dated in style, but it had very comfortable beds, decent towels and toiletries, and a better fridge than most hotels. Bagel Tree is an excellent breakfast option in a shopping center that is directly next door...probably a quarter mile walk if you wanted to do that. We stayed two nights. For the price it is a great value.

Our stay at the Sussex Motel was horrific. I fell in their slippery bathtub shower. There was no ventilation and became steamed up in minutes as I fainted and fell due to no ventilation. The bathtub shower was very old and slippery. The hotel smelled of cigarettes and weed. It shows very nice in their photos but not really especially the outside 😬

The picture that Expedia shows of the motel is NOTHING like it actually is. The parking lot is a mess, nothing but pot holes. Pulling in it looked like a homeless shelter and I wish I could have turned around and driven away. You can believe I stripped the bed and check for bugs. The water in the tub ran constantly, the rug on the stairs was disgusting, looked like it had not seen a vacuum in a LONG time. I usually bring my own pillow, wish I had this time, \"My Pillow\" does not cut it.
For the price I paid, NO WAY would I recommend

The hotel was generally good. It's a bit rough on the outside, but the inside was pleasant and well-cared for. The only complaint I have is a minor one -- the hot- and-cold-water faucets were reversed in my room, with hot on the right and cold on the left, at both the sink and the shower.

Great place!

It was very obvious when we walked into our room, that this cute, quaint, retro Motel is a passion project for the owners.  They put a lot of effort into making the rooms comfortable, clean and one of a kind.  This is not your typical cookie cutter Motel experience.  Each room has a theme.  We stayed in the Pink room, with colorful towels, bed linens, curtains, etc.  The room had kitchy, retro elements such as a teal blue, retro style microwave and colorful artwork on the walls.

The owner was so nice and accommodating to our request to check in early.  She even texted me with her personal number to check on us and let us know to contact her with any needs or requests.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here and highly recommend this Motel.

A few suggestions - 

A coffee maker in the room, although there is a Dunkin Donuts about a third of a mile up the road.

Access to an Ice Machine.

Note - They are in the process of remodeling the exterior.  I am sure when they are done it is going to be the cutest mid- century modern destination spot.

It’s a Gem!

The room has a clean and updated but retro vibe to it. It’s nice to stay in a place that’s not a chain hotel. It reminds me of places that we stayed in the 70’s (but with modern conveniences) when we traveled as a family. The owners are painting the exterior soon. I hope that they keep the retro feel for the exterior.

Upon researching the property it appeared to have good reviews, but apparently there were different standards/ expectations from those reviewing. Upon check in the office was closed and phone number posted to call. We were given key and a very limited rundown of property. The door was only the lock on door handle that didn’t close all the way and one chain lock above. Felt uneasy about the door lock situation as it was an old door and didn’t feel completely shut. There was a bar or something in the plaza next door bc we heard loud music and loud trucks for hours. Couldn’t sleep bc the walls were so thin the TV for next room was on same wall as beds. There was also a weird constant radio playing. Never quiet and restful. The shower wasn’t very clean and the shower head sprayed all over making a water mess. People smoking outside made it smell and although rooms were “remodeled” it was stale smelling. The beds were flat with lumpy pillows and not much for covers , just thin blankets. It felt somewhat unsafe and no coffee maker or coffee, a simple amenity people appreciate. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt as many motels are being revamped but felt like this was not it.

Lovely updated rooms!

First impression of the outside of the building had me concerned but once I saw my room I was thrilled!!! Room was spotless, shower was great and bed was super comfortable! Wished there was a coffee maker but that wasn’t a deal breaker. Would stay here again!

We had a really good time here. We stayed here since it was close to Mountain Creek. The room was very nice and had nice amenities such as the spacious fridge with a freezer, microwave, and toiletries such as body wash and shampoo if you needed it. We also liked the smart tv too since we just signed into our apps. Overall the place was really nice and just like it’s pictures.

We stayed there to ski at Mountain Creek. It was very convenient, very friendly staff, rooms are clean and comfortable and offer all amenities. I have to say that it was the first time I book a motel room, but it was better than a lot of hotel rooms I've booked before.

This place was perfect for our snowboarding trip. It was super convenient with liquor store, food options and markets near by. The room was very clean and cozy. All the amenities worked. The woman who manages the motel was super sweet and friendly. Definitely making this our yearly stay for sure.

Jackie was wonderful and quick to respond to any questions. The outside could use some updates, but it seems like that’s in the works as the front office is currently under renovation! It’ll be nice to have the exterior match the updated coziness of the rooms themselves which were amazing! I would stay here again.

Love this place!

My family stayed in room 11 for 12 nights. Honesty, we all agree that this was one of the best motels we've ever stayed in.
We chose this place expecting it to be kinda outdated due to the reviews, but the replies from the owner we're so sassy I was willing to risk our entire vaction quality. Boy am I glad I did! The room was beautifully remodled, the outside a little outdated, but who sleeps outside enough to care?
Jackie was so helpful and friendly, we acrually felt a sense of family from this motel. No matter the time, she was willing and beyond happy to help and assist.
I believe the bad reviews were from people who just cant be pleased regardless.
10/10 would reccomend this motel 100 times. If we're ever in or near Sussex again, we will for sure be staying here.
We actually discussed taking another vacation during the summertime, just to stay at this motel and in Sussex again.

A great place to stay!

Jackie was our contact at the motel and she was great. Explained so clearly what we needed to do as we arrived after hours and was very willing to help if we had any questions. The room was beautiful (#21) and newly renovated. The only thing that we were nervous about was the ill fitting door. It locked but we could see daylight all around the edge which meant there was always a cold draft. Other than that, it was ideal. We stayed for 3 days and would stay again!

Ok, the staff tried... But a check in time ending at 9pm is awfully early, and the room and bed REEKS of perfumed cleaner. We had the staff bring us each a change of bedding and it's still clinging to my skin and made it so hard to sleep I seriously considered sleeping in my car. Staff mentioned maybe it was due to a cat staying previously, but it's like someone doused the mattress with febreeze.

Rooms are like cheap Airbnb decor, exterior is pretty run down. If I didn't feel like I was marinating in air freshener I'd call it \"fine\" but at it is, gross.

What a tremendously pleasant surprise

We needed to be in the area early the next morning and had to decide on staying at the Sussex Motel or a more well known brand name hotel that would be farther and more expensive. This is no dirty, dumpy, outdated motel you'd be disappointed about staying. It has been nicely remodeled, the service from the front desk was excellent and the price was great. Our family of 4 had only 1 very minor problem. The pillows were fluffy and nice but we tend to use flatter / skinny pillows and there wasn't any. But, I stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone.

The room was lovely and huge, newly renovated with a giant TV with streaming services. Bathroom was small but clean and great water pressure. Outside, though, the hotel looked very run down with little lighting at night.

Surprisingly nice for a roadside motel. Renovated and super cute, the only thing that bothered me was there was a smell in the room, but I am hyper sensitive to smell. I liked that there were little shampoos and soaps. I miss that in Airbnb's. All in all, if I am in the area again I will stay here. Great breakfast place down the road called Granny's

I was a little skeptical pulling up. The outside of the motel is a little dated but I was very pleasantly surprised by the inside. The rooms were spacious, modern, and well decorated. I was blown away by how clean the room was. I felt so comfortable staying there, I absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay. It is a great value.
