As a party of eight bicyclists, traveling on a budget, this motel met our needs perfectly. The staff were especially accommodating and helpful. Having a restaurant (Gus' Red Hots) next door was a real help.

Okay for the Price
Facility is okay. Windows have built-in blinds but the surrounding property has lights on all night so it looks line it is always daytime when in the room. Parking is limited but the owners had a grassy area next to the hotel for boat parking. Toilets are the small round kind suitable for small children.

I did not stay here. I called them. They said I had no reservation. I stayed elsewhere. I hope I was not charged for this. I have stayed here before.

When we arrived we were informed they were overbooked and we had no room. I had called earlier that morning to see if we could check in early and the girl I spoke with never said we didn’t have a room available. I had booked the room weeks in advance.We had reserved a cabin for our family. They wanted to relocate us to another property of their’s down the road, but we’ve stayed there before and were not at all interested in staying there again. Needless to say, I was not impressed and had a very hard time finding a place to stay, most hotel/motel were booked full.

Decent for price
Quiet, comfy bed, fridge, microwave, table and chairs, lots of cable channels. Looks to be recently renovated. Good, reasonably priced restaurant next door. Had a greasy handprint on wall above toilet, so cleaning could be better.

Very old and dated property. Very bad crowd, bed bugs and insects in the room. Bathroom had mold. Most of the people living there are long term tenants who maybe have bad credit and they live in this Motel for long term. Not recommended at all. We paid and then ended up staying in the car all night due to the fear of bugs.

The cabin 134 is absolutly disgusting. The sheets and mattresses are insufficient and full of cigarette burns. The sofa is extremely dirty on the top and inside (there is even a complete cigarette under the cushions). The bathroom sink is full of objects (razor protection and the like), the shower curtain is torn. There were no tissues, towels or soap. The kitchen section is disgusting and dirty. We did not dare to drink tap water. We bitterly regret our choice, it was the cheapest in the area and it was really overpaid for what we got.

Horrible place!!!
We were looking for a place to stay and saw that there is a cabin so we decided to book it and when we got there, it was already a sleazy motel with people living there and the cabin was shared with others like duplex so already was disappointed then we got in and it looked awful, smelled weird funky and the sink had pieces of old carrots left in there. We tried to get in Wi-Fi but the Wi-Fi signal was so BAD that we couldn’t even get in at all and I had to go to the office to complain not one but twice and the lady wasn’t very helpful and had snooty attitude. So we were stuck without Wi-Fi for the night. Once morning came we BOLTED out so fast and vowed that well we will write a bad review about this. It was the worst place in all of our travels.

We booked a room to break up the trip between Canada and Utica. Our tour bus arrived back in Montreal much later than anticipated, and my cell provider had no towers in the area, so I could not call to inform the motel. We arrived at 10:30, and the office was closed. We ended up sleeping in our car in a rest area as all other hotels/motels were fully booked.
