The only problem I had is that when we got there, it was like 10° outside and there was absolutely no heat on in that room whatsoever so you can imagine how cold it was in there. We sat in there with our coats on for two hours to get the room to a point where it was warm enough to take our coats off

I asked for a non-smoking room, and got a room that smelled like cigarettes, the service was bad, they barely came to clean the room, I had to ask for cleaning service many times. they gave me a room in the back part of the motel, and had to walk a distance to my car.

Good if you need a place to sleep, that’s it. Stayed with my husband and two children, would not return. People up all night slamming doors and yelling. The room was poorly maintained. Not worth the money. It could be a nice place if the owners put a little money into it.

I honestly feel this place needs to be either tore down or someone need to put the money they charge for the rooms back into the motel i can't believe that the building inspector hasn't closed the motel down! The outside door doesn't close you can see daylight when you close the door the shower was completely out of the wall so my wife and i showered elsewhere

The management was helpful in terms of registration and assisting in getting me next to the room of my friend and her granddaughter. However, I do NOT know IF the dirt tracked-in from the parking lot onto the carpets will EVER come-out of my athletic sox. Better have bedroom slippers. Then, some circuits did not work when trying to plug-in a charger etc. The facilities looked so much better on the motel's reservation site on-line and Expedia's. Word to Expedia: "This isn't a place you want on your website."

Beware room, 108.

I thought it would be suitable for the night since we drove five hours to Buffalo. When we arrived and received the key, my 2 sons and grandson refused to stay. There were stains on the bed and on the box spring there appeared to be fecal stains on it. There were plenty of unfavorable people hanging out in the parking lot. The bathroom was so cramped you could barely fit in it. The owner tried to explain sheets were washed daily but not from what we saw. The best part about the hotel was the leaving. Thank God we were able to find a decent hotel. I lost out on $88 so be careful.

Bad Service Would Not Recommend for Stay

The room was unclean and there was a strong scent in the room. The bed was riddled with bed bugs. The bathroom was incredibly dirty and I could not shower during my stay. Both the fridge and microwave was broken so I could not even enjoy a meal during my stay. None of the things in the room was usable making the stay very uncomfortable. I tried to call to complain but no one picked up my call. I will not be staying at this location in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were treated well by the staff and really felt welcomed to be there. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had seen by the pictures that the property was older but it is obvious they are refreshing the place. It was easy to access from the street and we did not hear any noise when inside our room It is a busy street so there is traffic noise outside. We had stayed to go shopping and we were happy to have everything we wanted close by. We will be returning

The manager (owner?) was nice but he charged me more than the price I booked the room for. He also tried to pawn off a room with one bed (for the reservation price) when I had reserved a room with two beds. There were not other easy options for me so I paid the higher price for the two-bed room. By the way, the one-bed room he let me see was a total dump. The two-bed room had been renovated since the property was built in 1948 so it was OK.
