Cute room with new furniture and retro vibe. The outside of the motel doesn't totally match the inside, so I was a little unsure until I opened my room. Not sure why room windows aren't to be opened, according to a room note. I prefer fresh air to AC unless it is super hot. No coffee maker, no ice machine, and no trash can outside anywhere for putting my dog's full poop bags so I took them with me. Pet-friendly places normally have a receptacle outside for this. I mention these things to help the owner improve what is a very cute place to stay, as I do recommend it to other travelers. These additions would help make it perfect. Maybe some fun colored paint on the trim outside to match the room vibes? Overall, I enjoyed the clean and cool look of the room, and it is a convenient and comfy spot. Jackie in the office was very friendly and nice!

The good
Very helpful staff
Quiet area
Fridge with freezer and a microwave
Lots of seating (4 chairs)
Comfortable beds
Updated inside
Nice size hd tv with wifi
Close to the main road for easy access

The bad
Floors turns your feet black
Room smells like smoke even though non smoking rooms
Booked 2 queens, given 2 full size (didnt say anything as i didnt want to make a stink and they were booked up due to dance nationals in town)
Bath tub had a giant bubble filled with water...made you feel like you were on a boat. Spoke to the manager on site who told me before we went to the room, said they havent had down time to have bath fitters in to fix since they have been booked up. This wont effect the score, just awkward to shower in

Second time at the Sussex Motel. I feel like each time I stay is the similar experience you feel when entering a speak easy. The outside looks like a normal rode side Motel, BUT, when you go inside it is lovely! For the price you cannot beat it. Clean and has everything you need and the decor is nice. Other hotels in the area break the bank, but this price is reasonable and in a great spot. I live in another state so traveling to NJ is something I do often to see friends. I will be staying at the Sussex Motel when I do. Also, shout out to Jackie she is a doll! Very attentive and gracious. Lovely service and rooms!

The property manager, Jackie, was great. She went beyond expectations to assure us late arrival. We found the room and property a very good value to sleep and shower after a local music festival. It's your old fashion strip motel, with convenient parking right in front of your room. Our room had been recently renovated and provided everything we needed. Would stay there again. Thanks again Jackie!

This was practically the Bates Motel. Run down. NO DEADBOLTS on the doors. We literally wedged a chair under our doorknob at night. Freezer in the room fridge was iced up solid. Room clean, more or less. Shower smelled like urine. Toilet was so low to the ground me knees practically gave out trying to sit on it. Door had so much daylight around it rain came in. Drunk guy and his girlfriend sat outside the next room until midnight talking loudly, playing music on their cellphone speaker, and singing. We never left anything valuable in the room. This was a $75 room, AT BEST. WHAT A RIPOFF. ORBITZ to you need to DEOP THIS MOTEL.

This motel looks like it's from the 1970's, but we liked the retro feel of the place. When we arrived to check in, there was a police car with its lights on sitting in the parking lot and a used blue exam glove in the parking lot next to our space (just a little disconcerting!) Both were gone when we returned from our function. Our room was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The sheets weren't very soft, but there were two soft blankets on the bed, so I slept between those. The air conditioner worked very well, although it was up so high on the wall that my husband had to stand on a chair to adjust the temperature (we were warned about this upon check-in.). All in all, a comfortable night's stay, especially for the price. If we're ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Let me just take a second to give a massive thank you to Jackie, the proprietor, for saving my butt last night! I had a very late arrival and completely forgot to call ahead. Could well have been sleeping in my car for the night. But Jackie made sure to not only go drop my key for pickup on arrival, but she also made sure my room was nice and cool when I got there. The Angel of Sussex they call her. Book this place!

We were told it would be a non-smoking room, and booked our trip. When we got in the room, it reeked of cigarette smoke inside the room, which we thought would dissipate. After three hours, the smell got worse, and there was a heavy smell of marijuana around, probably from someone in another room. Also, there was a lot of pet hair on the bed. My wife was pregnant so she was physically nauseous due to the smells and we had to leave. Management promised us a refund, but later the story changed and we still had to pay for 2 nights even when we were there less than 3 hours.

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 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.

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.

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

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.
