I will not repeat what others have noted (e.g., it's in fact a motel, not a hotel, don't come here for the breakfast, it's conceivable that there might be a nearly microscopic stain on otherwise well laundered and immaculate sheets, and so on), except to say that "motel" is a portmanteau of "motor hotel." A motel is by definition very close to expressways. There are two that converge here, I-87 and the Sawmill River Parkway. The motel's heyday was the 1950s. That's when this one was built. It's been renovated. It's not a chain. It has reasonably comfortable beds.
What others have not noted: a major rails-to-trails path passes right behind the gazebo you see in the photograph. It goes miles in both directions, runs along a creek and is gorgeous, especially in the summer. The little towns along the Hudson in this part of Westchester county (Hastings, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry) are extremely picturesque. This is NOTHING like a motel situated in the fluorescent dead zone you find in almost every other part of the country. It's very reasonably priced. If you want the Park Plaza, reserve the Park Plaza. Otherwise, this place is fine.
