Nice clean room, convenient location, decor, furnishings, and bathroom fixturing is dated, but in good condition. Will be staying again as it’s a very affordable room with super comfortable beds, cold AC, WiFi, microwave, fridge, and a TV. Was worried it would be noisy as it’s close to a main road, but it was super quiet and I slept like a rock.

This is a clean 1 Star motel. Although under the Wyndham namesake, this is a very simple setup best for a one-night stay with single or double queen beds and a bathroom. The services are quite minimal with limited front desk hours and basic cleaning. There are no food services and no amenities on the property. Local services such as restaurants, shops, etc. need to be driven to for access. Staff (if you see them) are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are very clean; AC works great; bathroom are very clean but need repair; no carpeting; and parking is in front of your room. Note that access to the rooms requires two steps up with no ADA access noted. Yes, I would stay here again.

It was fine for the price, the bathroom smelled of urine though and although the room looked ok, the refrigerator was not clean on the inside and the bathroom needed some work beyond the smell. The cooling unit was old as well. The grounds are well kept and they seem to have Solar energy which was cool. Would I stay again, probably not, but it absolutely did the job for the price

This is a very basic motel, but the room and bath were clean and the bed was comfortable. I thought we got good value for the money. We were traveling with our EV and it was super convenient to be able to charge overnight, but I have to say the price was the highest I’ve ever paid for a slow charge and we didn’t even need a full charge-up.

The living area of the room appeared to be relatively updated so we selected this property. When we arrived, it was certainly a good photographer. The bathroom is small, dirty and not updated. It’s the kind of place you do not want to take your shoes off, showering included

Room was clean, comfortable beds, good wifi. Surprisingly quiet given how close it is to Rt 2, and pet-friendly. Certainly adequate for our needs — a good location & reasonably priced.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was amazing here, but the actual accommodations were not good. The location is fine. Our first room smelled like smoke. The second room was better. The television didn't work and on our second night there, we were woken up by what sounded like a massive yard blower. We have no idea what it was. We were afraid to leave the hotel. That's how loud it was. I think this is suitable if you are thinking of camping, but it just needs a lot of updating. The staff was so kind and present, but the property needs work. Obviously, it's a less expensive option, but at minimum, a location needs to be quiet at night and the television needs to work. I understand that they are going through a transition to another company, but in the meantime, they need to keep things working. Again, the staff was great, but the actual room was a 5, and the fact that we couldn't rest or feel comfortable there is just something I want to pass along.

We weren't able to stay the night; due to a family emergency we had to check out about 9:30 PM. The room was obviously old, but clean and well furnished. The owner/manager was attentive, and I was impressed by their huge solar arrays!
