we got this motel last minute for Easter and honestly, I've paid more for airbnbs in the area and they weren't as nice as this motel. Staff was friendly, the area is nice and you're a good 15 minute walk from five guys and Walmart. Bed was comfortable (coming from someone whose back hurts on most beds) room was clean. the bathroom door couldn't shit properly or lock but it was just me and my husband so that wasn't really an issue definitely would stay again!!!

These are basic rooms with everything you need for a good nights rest. SO much close by in minutes. The owners are extremely nice and personable. Gave great recommendations for where to eat and things to do. Won’t hesitate to stay again when I revisit ct. Can’t beat the price.

Very clean room. Best $100 room for the area. Rooms outdated but worth the 100. Owner is very very nice. Off the busy noisy highway. Lots of parking. Clean safe parking lot. Bed very hard. Flat pillows. Hot water and good water pressure. Again best place for $100.

I travel a lot and have reviewed motels all over the country. That being said, I am also a smoker. I am used to being roomed in what most hotels consider their smoking rooms. Usually not the best rooms, but I always review them fairly. I can honestly say that if our room is considered a smoking room, the nonsmoking room must be beautiful. Our room is nicely painted and decorated. It is clean and gets wonderful TV service. It is clear to me that they have spent time and money fixing this motel up. A few small things, the bath tub is a bit dated and the pillows are a bit flat for my taste. Please put this motel on your list when visiting the area. Small roadside motels are really the best places to stay. I will happily return any time we pass through this area.

Very clean rooms with cable, very nice people who make sure you have everything you need for your stay. On our second night there they knocked on the door to see if we needed anything (towels, toilet paper). Easy check out, just drop your key in the drop box. Affordable too!

For the value that I paid here, this place was absolutely perfect. It was very clean, had the usual dozens and dozens and dozens of entertainment channels, had a hot shower that lasted 25 minutes plus because I was feeling achy and needed it to last that long, and had a comfortable and cushion filled bed that was just perfect. The check-in was quick, smooth, no-frills, and customer friendly. The location is absolutely fantastic just 2 minutes or less from the on-ramp to 95. You would think that there may have been an issue with the noise being so close to the highway, but I heard maybe one or two passing trucks and that was it. Even on a Friday night, I did not have to deal with any loud partying or loud noises from any of the other rooms or the parking lot outside. There were no major issues with the room at all. Room 103 you were a gem. Carpet was new, tile in the bathroom was brand new, paint job was spot on, lights all worked, and, even, the bathroom mirror was pretty cool, also, too for it lit up with the touch of your finger and had a de-steaming button on the mirror as well. I cannot complain at all about this room. In fact, for the value of what I paid I had a good experience that I had here it honestly is one of the best hotel or motel rooms I've had in the last year.

The rooms were very clean. The owners made sure I had what I needed for the room the whole week I was there. They were very nice. I definitely recommend staying here.
