Very basic lodgings. Room was spacious and decently furnished including a refrigerator and microwave. Not even a vending machine in sight. Nothing nearby except a gas station and a small Wegmans down the road. It was what I needed at the time so I am satisfied but go with low expectations.

Ok for the price just barely.

Place was clean but very out dated. Matress was good. Had refrigerator and microwave but no coffee pot. One building was shady looking probably local monthly rentals. If they put us in that one we would not have stayed there. The one we stayed in was ok. No big towels or kleenex.

This is a simple and old location it was clean and beds were ok with fridge and microwave. The price was low 79$compared to other locations 150 during leaf peeping. People who are used to things going their way may not like it. this is not a location for a KAREN type. Location boring unless you plan on Visiting Samuel Clemons grave. The pictures are nicer then reality. Would I stay again sure.

Much of the motel reflected 1950s motor court that hadn't been updated. Curtain mechanisms broken. Most lights and phone were unplugged. Dead bolt on door lock would not work.

This place is dinge, out dated in need of major repairs or being torn down an a new hotel built. It was one step up from a jail cell. Now i understand why newly released inmates are sent there. Luckily I did not see any bed bugs. $60 per night was still too high of arate!
