This hotel has been recently refurbished inside and out. New furniture and a full remodel. Yes, the building is a 50's style strip motel, but you wouldn't know it from the remodel. Being able to park directly in front of your room is a blessing! The rooms are a good size, built solid, and no noise from outside despite being on a busy highway. Wifi works awesome, expanded cable tv, and VERY CLEAN! It's obvious that the owners truly care for this place. I travel for work half the year, and if I'm back in the area I would stay here again.

Parking spots are tight. My car was hit over night when we went to check out the car that hit us was gone leaving no information or anything about hitting our car. Staff was not helpful in giving us information about who stayed in the room next to ours..

Nice clean basic room with some upgrades in an older style motel. Baseboard heat was a plus. Reasonable pet fee. No breakfast but that wasn't important to me.

The property owners were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is not provided here but you can go to the front desk to get extra towels, soap, etc. Located along 322, I expected to hear a lot of the traffic but it was surprisingly quiet. The room was large. There was not a coffee maker in the room but coffee was served in the front desk area.

The room is what you would expect for the price. The staff is super friendly and very eager to help with anything. However the bed was very hard an its set right next to a major road so cars an trucks zoom by all hours of day an night. Everything else was as described an they ARE dog friendly so it made it very convenient for us traveling with pur furry friends!

Absolutely one of the cleanest places we have stayed! The bed was comfortable, the room- spotless, the outdoor area was immaculate, and the water was HOT!! The check in was easy and the lovely woman at the front desk was so pleasant at 10pm <3 I am a hotel snob, and have left many places that we have booked in the past for a lot more money. Glad we took a chance for a very last minute stay! We will book again on our next impromptu trip to see our daughter in Buffalo when we need a break from driving! 10/10!

This motel is old (retro?!) and simple, but kept very clean. All the staff are friendly. It's great to have an affordable place for an overnight stop. And the towels, while not spa-luxurious, were far thicker and softer than those at a Motel 6 I stayed at recently!

It is not handicap friendly! I asked for a handicap room and didn't get one. I don't think they have any or don't know what it entails. From parking lot to sidewalk was a step up, from the sidewalk to room a bigger step. The bathroom was very small no grab bars, toilet was so low I had trouble and I had to buy a chair to put in the bathtub so I could take a shower. I wasn't sure if the white towels were even clean they were so dinghy. I was very disappointed. Grab bars are a huge help to a handicap person and should have them in every room for safety sake. The room seemed to be clean, didn't notice any bedbugs which was a plus. The place needs many repairs and upgrades. I don't recommend for anyone with a disability.
