Ashford Motel

Hotel is easy to get to, lots of parking, good price.

I had to find a cheap place on short notice and this place popped up. The outside is well lit. The motel is in a rural area that is surrounded by beautiful trees. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I loved the bed, and slept great. There was a fridge and microwave, and the staff came every morning to check in me and see if i needed anything. Not the prettiest to look at but i enjoyed my stay and was pleasantly surprised.

Bare bones but quiet. No coffee pot. Needs addiitional electricity plugs.

We enjoyed our stay at this motel, which is located down a small road not far from I-84. The grounds are spacious and the motel faces trees and the sunrise. Occasionally you could hear the traffic from the interstate but mainly it was a quiet place, an older motel but in good condition. Everything worked. Our room had fridge & microwave. Wifi was passable. We were able to park right in front of our room, which is always a plus. We'd definitely stay here again.

Quiet, and clean. No amenities at all not even coffee. No close by restaurants or convenience stores. True 50’s motel with a bed, a chair, and a TV. I’d stay again because it served my purpose but would bring coffee and plenty of snacks

We enjoyed our stay, the only issues were lack of some standard hotel items, namely a coffee machine, alarm clock and phone. There was a microwave and refrigerator, but the only cups were plastic so using the microwave to heat water for instant coffee wasn't even a possibility. If you don't care about coffee or alarm clocks, we found everything else sufficient.

For the price it was just what we needed. The motel is old but it was clean and the outside area was well lit.

clean and cheap. no handicap facilities

The Ashford Motel is right off the interstate and ten mins driving distance to Stafford speedway, convenience stores, gas stations, pizza shops, ice cream etc. House of pizza in Stafford is delicious and I definitely recommend!! The motel was very quiet, easy parking, the WiFi was ok, bed was comfy. Easy check in and out. This motel has great rates and was exactly what we needed. We’d stay there again.

Dirtiest place ever. Shame on the owners, & IDK how it passes health inspections? Had more pics but only can upload 8. Got in late (1 AM). Country road, dark & creepy: "Bates Motel meets Friday the 13th." Grounds were at least well-lit. Everything in room 8 was lacking basic cleaning and maintenance. Considered sleeping in the car but sketchy guests talking loudly in parking lot btw 2-4 AM so slept on bedspread. Smell: must, smoke, food (strong) Microwave/fridge cabinet: old, chipped, peeling Armchair: red-brown smears (blood?) Walls: dinged, chipped, dirty End tables: burns, chips, smears (tip: use wet, soapy rag) Wooden TV cabinet: chipped, rickety, cracked Door: beat-up w/mishmash of old paint jobs Picture frame: cracked & damaged Desk mirror: filmy Desk chair: dried white stuff Bathroom floor: filthy (dust, dirt, hair) Bathtub: tan blob (old soap?). Layer of unknown blue-green stains Bathroom door frame: dark brown smear (feces?) Bed: one side rock-hard, one side squishy Light: blinding sunrise came right through thin curtains early in AM - no possibility to sleep in Checkout time: bright & early, 10 AM. I guess they need extra time to not-clean? Overall,what wasn't a straight-up biohazard was still ratty & gross. This place was sickening & should be closed down for a thorough cleaning, maintenance, & furniture replacement. Whoever keeps OKing the rooms should work in a completely different industry. Until then, no one should stay here. Shame on owners.

There was black mold in the shower and ceilings. Spiderwebs, stains on the box spring sides. Very disappointed.

The room was filthy, the sheets didn’t fit the bed and were covered with black streaks. Very few outlets so I couldn’t blow dry or curl my hair in front of a mirror. I smelled mold as soon as the air conditioner was turned out. One plastic cup was provided for us to share. Very poor hotel. I would never go there again and would not recommend it to others.

Very clean sheets, new towels, very clean bathroom, no strange odors in room. Great mattress.

Courteous staff. Simple, no frills and clean.

After getting a THIRD room, the inside of the room was visibly decent. First room (#7) - strong smell of smoke. I requested a non-smoking room. We were quickly switched to a different room. Second room (#5) - one of the beds had a mattress spring sticking out over 2 inches on the edge of the mattress on the side that was between the 2 beds. Yes, I got cut on it. The female attendant gave me a hard time when I requested another room stating they were full. I insisted she come to my room and do something with the mattress since I felt it UNSAFE to sleep on it with the spring protruding out. SHE did. She tried to push the spring in with her hands. No luck. I again repeated that this mattress was dangerous to sleep on and again told her to switch my room. I also mentioned to her in the room, that there was somebody else's food in the fridge as well as some of their clothes found in the corner of the room between the bed and AC unit. She finally agreed to switch me to another room (#19) Upon returning for the second night, the room was not cleaned. We also did not get any towels. I had to ask for towels. *Make a better choice. Spend a little more money. Your health and safety is worth it.

Value friendly property. Dated but clean. Nice accommodations for the price.

Negatives: So dirty. Bathroom was disgusting with mold all over the bathtub. Bed had a strange clear tube coming from inside the mattress. Inside the tube was COATED with mold. Door wouldn’t lock unless I pressed my entire body weight against it, my girlfriend could not lock the door on her own as she couldn’t lean on it hard enough. Claimed to be 24 hour front desk, no one was there in the morning. Sign said to ring doorbell or call phone number to check out. I did both and no answer. Positives: Checked bed thoroughly for bed bugs and didn’t see any. Area felt safe as it was in the middle of nowhere.

Clean room, great staff

Dirtiest place ever, sickening. Here's my story: Got in late (1 AM). Country road, dark & creepy, "Bates Motel meets Friday the 13th." Grounds were at least well-lit. In the room, strong smell of must/smoke/food, & everything lacked years of basic cleaning. Considered sleeping in car, but sketchy guests were talking loudly in parking lot btw 2-4 AM, so slept on bedspread. Microwave/fridge & TV cabinets were old, chipped, peeling. Walls & end tables were chipped, burned, dirty (tip: use wet, soapy rag). Even the picture frame on the wall was cracked & damaged. Armchair fabric had red-brown smears, looked like blood. Door: beat-up w/a mishmash of old paint. Desk mirror: filmy, & desk chair had crud on the arm. As for the bathroom...floor: not even swept (dust, dirt, hair); tub: tan blob on rim (old soap?) + layer of unknown blue-green stains; door frame: concerning dark brown smear near toilet. Bed was rock hard on one side & squishy on the other. At dawn, a blinding sunrise came right through the curtains, prepping us for the unusually early 10 AM checkout. (Do they need extra time to not-clean?) Overall, what didn't appear to be a straight-up biohazard was still ratty & gross. This place should be closed down for a thorough cleaning, maintenance, & furniture replacement, and whoever keeps OKing the rooms should work in a completely different industry. Until then, no one should stay here. Shame on the owners, & how does it pass inspections? Had more pics but only can upload 8.

No electrical outlet in bathroom. Water pressure jn shower poor. TV turned on but could not figure how to get channels to work.

The rooms are extremely outdated. Beds are not comfortable at all. Sheets were clean but not exactly comfortable. Walls are all in need of a good scrub and fresh coat of paint. There are no phones in the room in case of an emergency. Sadly, I was hardly able to sleep because I wasn’t physically or mentally comfortable. Might not be terrible for those that are used to this type of motel, but I will definitely pay more for a better hotel for our next trip.

Very old and run down . Furniture was all beat up , dirty mirror . Poor lighting . Heater and A/C didn’t work ( fan did ). Really run down old bathroom- tiny toilet . Mattress very uncomfortable . Was looking for inexpensive place to stay but this place is pretty bad . Next time I will spend the extra money and get a much better room .

Bare bones but quiet. No coffee pot. Needs addiitional electricity plugs.

Quiet area at the end of a dead end it seems. The remote needs to be updated. No frills but a dece t price and safe place

Right off highway. King bed was very comfortable. Room could use a little tlc with repairs etc. Overall good stay, and excellent for the price.

It’s a roadside motel with no frills. But it had no bugs. wasn’t the worst smelling motel I’ve been to. No big stains or gross things in the room. Suited just fine for a quick nice sleep and a hot shower.

Excellent and front desk is very friendly and helpful.

Courteous staff. Simple, no frills and clean.

I was afraid to touch anything the room didn't feel clean. The window shade was falling off the rail. Check-in person didn't have a clue what he was doing.

The staff was very hospitable and helpful.

Allowed early check in. Friendly staff

Clean room, great staff

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and well put together. Highly recommend this motel. Amazing value. We will certainly return.

Hotel is easy to get to, lots of parking, good price.

Quiet

Set on a dead end in Ashford this motel is super quiet. Super quiet means a great rest. Also it is owned by a local family. The family is a delight to do business with and because it is a family property it is super safe. I can say there are a lot of woods and a good road to walk on if this is your thing and the color of the leaves are at their prime right now.. a great leaf peeping spot ( if that is your thing). Come to tiny Ashford to the Motel with the cleanest bathrooms in the area, and super hot water.. Thank you to the bosses once again for your patience and kindness with me, and helping me understand the question I had.

We needed a clean bed for the night. It was clean. The room could have used a good housecleaning… I washed the light switch and around it with a antibacterial wipe and you could see where I did it. For the price it was ok though eat before you get there as it is not near any amenities.

Set on a dead end in Ashford, CT this property is at an advantage for everything. The area is dark in all the right places and the road is a dead end. The Ashford is also set in prime leaf peeping county and has a nice walking spot. (If that’s your thing) The staff is a lovely local couple who will help you with patience and guidance. They were super patient with every question I asked. Ashford has many features and many ways to enjoy the outdoors, including the Nipmuck Trail as well as several preserves managed by Joshua's Trust. Notable properties in town include The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation, and Eastern Connecticut State University's Church Farm Center for the Arts and Sciences. I stay at a lot of Hotels and twenty out of ten recommend the Ashford Motel.

A good little out of the way motel. Nice and quiet and reasonably priced.

Family running the place are friendly & kind but motel in desperate need of a deep clean. More attention to detail in the rooms required - mildew smell, cleaning of baseboards, dusting, mattresses are hard. Pick up food, eat before you check-in; pizza delivery took over 1-hour.

Bare bones but quiet. No coffee pot. Needs addiitional electricity plugs.

Hotels.com should be embarrassed allowing this HORRIBLE motel on there site this is 1950 motel that has not been improved No phone in room its away from everything no restaurants within 15 miles. The room i was assigned was in disarray the sheets were stained. Safety no one of there concerns. I checked however I did not stay i was there less than hour but no refund. More disappointed in HOTELS. COM If you read the description you would feel just a no frills but clean and safe IT IS NOT
