This is an old fashioned motor court, not a modern fancy hotel. I like these nostalgic motels, but it might or might not be your cup of tea. The manager was sweet and helpful, eager to make sure everything was to my liking. The room was a bit dated, but neat as a pin and absolutely no unpleasant smells - not just nonsmoking, but no cleaning chemical smells either. The fridge/freezer was clean and cold, the microwave also clean. Plenty of pillows on a comfortable bed. There were windows front and back and a desk where I could work while in the room. The room would benefit from machine for tea and coffee. They only had coffee in the small front office. I bought a mug and some tea bags at the nearby Stop & Shop and microwaved water for tea which worked OK. Again a caveat; it did not bother me, but over the back fence was a trailer home neighborhood but they were well kept up with flowers in the yards.

If effort was put into updates and upkeep it could be a decent little motel. In the current condition we would not stay again.It served the purpose for a one night stay. The room was dingy and needed a coat or two of paint. The bathroom was in disrepair with missing tiles and a hole in the tub surround. Just not a fresh or cared for vibe. Dingy. The gentleman that checked us in was very nice and sheets were clean and bed comfortable.

It was a clean and quiet stay. Property on the older side but well maintained. In-room coffee maker would have been a nice amenity. Courteous staff.

Disliked: Amenities
It was ok. It’s not a modern cookie cutter hotel setup. The bathroom is not by the door, meaning that when you open the door you’re opening it straight into a full view of the whole room. One issue: no latch on the door, it had a deadbolt but those are part of the electronic lock and can be unlocked by the master key, rooms need a fully manual lock, this room didn’t have it.
