    Not at all what I expected for $150.00-shower curtain had mold on it.no recognizable sign for the lodging-the smell outside smelled like something dead.-the pictures were not what I got-I made a bad mistake and I would not recommend!!

    This is an older motel that appears to be in the process of being restored. The beds were comfortable and generally it was clean, but the floor needed a good mopping. The location is great. The managers were a young couple who were responsive to our needs. I wish them luck in turning this into an affordable stay near Skaneateles, NY.

    It was a very cute and nostalgic motel reminiscent of the 50s vintage retro style. Nice grounds and outdoor seating areas. Some cosmetic aspects may need upgrading or replacing: wood trims in bathrooms, rusty towel rods, entry door and bathroom door.

    The picture posted were not accurate. There was no heat or internet. We finally got a mobile heater and TV service our last evening there. United was not cleaned or serviced during our stay

    The staff wasn’t there at check in. Room was unlocked with key in it. The floors were dirty and dusty. The Wi-Fi was unreliable. Also heard people in the room next to us talking/arguing.

    For the money this property was a good deal. All the hotels around were crazy expensive I’m not sure if it was due to Mother’s Day weekend or the food truck festival nearby but everything was crazy. I’m not one to normally choose motels but this one was pretty good I thought. Not bad for a place to crash after our event. It was a nice touch they had free water, pop, and snacks in the room. Nice tv.

    Cute little rooms with a little outside space with a couple chairs and table. Room was very dark. Could use a little more remodeling.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    There was no breakfast offered, but places to eat within a few miles. The sheets and towels looked clean. Well the paint was peeling off the wall in places and bathroom sink was coming away from the wall. The tv didn't work. There was a big gap around the door to the outside. There were dead bugs in the floor corners. It didn't look much like the online pictures. Also someones doggy next door wasn't happy in the middle of the night. I feel like we should get money back!!!!

    The room was clean. The toilet did not flush properly. You had to flush many times and that still didn't do the job. The bathroom window did not close all the way and outside temp was 41degs. That night. No curtain on bathroom window which was on ground floor. Television did not work.

    Loved the room. It was very clean and private. Will be staying there again.

    The location was very peaceful yet close to town. The facility is an updated motel. Amenities were exactly what we needed. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a panel in the closet that was detached. The entry door had a gap, which could be drafty in the winter. There is not curtain on the bathroom window which made me a little uneasy.

    I could smell the weed , from the room next room. Could hear everything in the next room. The people in the next room had no courtesy for the people in the room next to them. The door/lock was not so great.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The room was clean and comfortable. We had the memorable experience that a transformer blew and burst into flames on a telephone pole nearby. The electricity went out and there was no running water. Thankfully the power came back on at 1 am. Interesting experience but we were safe and warm!

    I love the carport, place was clean and fairly nice especially for the price!

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Very accomodating owners, carport, coffeemaker, microwave, mini fridge. No fan in bathroom. Bedding could be updated to really make it comfortable.
