Village Motel

The motel is well worn on the exterior. The office area needs a lot of work. That said, the room that we stayed in # 43, was newly renovated head to toe and was completely acceptable. Grace the front desk employee, was very pleasant and showed us a couple of rooms to chose from so at least several rooms have been renovated. Ask for one of them and you'll get your money,'s worth. Better rooms than near by motels.

The stay was terrible. No inside lock for the door. We had to move the fridge in front of the door. No handicap accommodations. I'm an amputee, and could bathe or shower. Parking lot is so small it takes several back and forth movements to just enter, or leave the lot. Do not stay here at any cost. Freddy Krueger himself would be horrified by a stay here!

The Village Motel is a reasonable deal for the money. The motel itself is run-down, and there are some spots on the stairs and balcony that feel a touch dangerous. Also, the deadbolt on my room didn't work, which was a touch unnerving. That said, the service was good and the room was spotless. The bed was firm, the water pressure was strong, the AC was outstanding, and the towels were clean. Overall, I'd say it was very basic lodging at a very low price. I won't be staying there again, but I slept well while I was there.

This is a cheap motel. It’s clean, it’s safe, the bed king bed was new and clean. There was no dresser or hangers for the rail. There is a fridge TV, clean shower toilet sink. If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay while hiking for a night, it’s great. If you’re fussy, you should look somewhere else. There are places to eat on a nearby street (5 or 6 restaurants). One was very popular and we couldn’t get in. The Italian was okay/fine.

Outside is very sketchy. Nothing like the picture. Trash and junk all over. Inside, room clean but very spartan. no coffee no microwave. Good for a stay after Bethel Woods show, but not a place I would go on purpose.

Clean, ac worked well, newly remodeled bathrooms were nice

Old motel but clean and kept up well. Thick towels, new curtains, beds, and a/c.

It lacked the basic necessities of an iron, an ice lock on the door.

When we pulled up we thought the place was closed down. To say it looked rundown is a gross understatement! There were people arguing in the parking lot and shouting at one another in their rooms which we could hear. At one point, I thought we might be witnessing a drug deal between two people hanging out in the parking lot. There were no pictures on any of the walls in our room, no microwave, no coffee machine, it reeked of cigarettes and there were cigarette burns in our bedspread. The shower leaked water all over the bathroom floor. The bed creaked at every turn and you could hear people walking a floor above, showering and flushing their toilets. Super sketchy motel!

The motel was in a pretty quiet neighborhood, despite some traffic. I didn't like the face that there was no microwave in the rooms, but the place was good overall

We had a really nice time, the room was clean, and the staff was accommodating. The area had places open late which was great since we didn’t check in until past 6pm. My toddler loved it, she said she loved the bathroom haha. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely be making future reservations.

Pleasantly surprised with the great beds and pillows. Economic Catskills option. To be honest, for your benefit, some shady looking people around that are perfectly harmless. Clean room, good bath facilities and great beds.

Enjoyed my stay! The area had more restaurants and stores than I thought it would. Room was clean and felt safe

Very innexpensive motel, that being said, this motel was VERY clean 👍 (floors, bed and bathroom). Hard vinyl floors (not carpet)👍. Good sized mini-fridge 👍. Our car broke down and had to replace the water pump on my car in the motel parking lot (all day job) owner even lent me a couple of tools and was very empathetic which was the highlight of our stay. 👍. We had to stay an extra night because by the time I was done with fixing car, it was too late to drive back home (3 hour drive). Great owner!!! More than I expected from a innexpensive motel. We stayed in room 50. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The outside of the facility looked like it needs some work, but not too bad. I rented 4 rooms with 1 person in each room. The check in went smoothly with a very pleasant receptionist and we were in our room within minutes. Upon opening the door to my room, I was so surprised to find a room that looked like it was just totally refurbished. It was spotless clean, and had the look and feel of a room that usually costs 3 to 4 times of what I paid. Everything worked as intended, endless hot water, very comfortable bed, good TV, bright lighting, and an air conditioner that kept the room chilled with the outside temperatures in the mid-80s and extremely high humidity. So bottom line, don’t let the old 60s look on the outside scare you away! It appears like it’s a work in progress and they are doing a great job! Rooms could not have been any better!

Chose this hotel because I was in the area for a concert at Bethel Woods. Wasn’t expecting much - and it was still a horrible massive disappointment. Checked in, showered and never returned after the concert and chose to drive home instead despite getting home at 2 AM after waking up at 3 AM the previous day. Moldy tile, missing baseboards, filthy windows, dirty walls, shady people staying in other rooms and walking around trying to approach you as you went into your room. The most expensive shower I’ve ever had. Didn’t even ask for a refund or different room.

The place is nothing bud a drug and prostitution hang out. Not clean, humid and in very bad condition no one should stay there. Can’t take the smell.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. Found a roach in our room, sheets with holes and stains, insufficient towels, used shampoo. The deal breaker for every staying here again was the homeless guests. Our next door neighbor kept many of her possessions outside her room. I cant imagine what it looked like inside. She had at least two cats despite a no pet policy. I would have felt more comfortable sleeping in my car! If the nightly rate would have been half what it was, it still would have been too much for this dump.

This pla e is gross! I almost cried! I wanted to just sleep in the car!!! People smoking and smoking pot! The room smelled like varnish from the head board. The floors were filthy we were afraid to take our shoes off! The bathroom smelled like urine!!!! It was horrible!!!!

Upon pulling in, I was worried about the room condition. However, it had been revitalized. Beautiful shower. All the room needed was a dresser and some artwork on the walls. Some photos of the mountains with fall colors would be easy to do.

You can’t beat the location or the price. The rooms are clean and very very basic. The outside of the place looks terrible.

The exterior surroundings of the property need to be made more attractive and tidy. The room was clean. However the bed was not comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Definitely no frills, but our room eas was clean and spacious. Location eas was a bit noisy, right iff off Rte 209, but an easy walk from Ellenvlle's pleasant downtown.

Everyone talks about how dumpy the outside of this Hotel is. They are right. Fresh paint would go a long way to up its appearance. The rooms were surprisingly clean, and our bath was remodelled recently. The biggest complaint we had was our window faces the road that's all of about 8' away. The din of traffic was constant....but somewhat muffled. I wouldn't want to sleep with the windows open though.

Clean, ac worked well, newly remodeled bathrooms were nice

All good except that we could hear people walking on the second floor like they were on our bedroom.

The Village Motel is a rustic and practical stay that is clearly in the midst of an awkward adolescence. It was a straightforward and well-priced stay for a clean room and a quick night's sleep. We would definitely stay again. It echos the awkward tensions between the rural mountain-village Ellenville I knew twenty years ago, and this newer, budding town that has your mainstay fast food chains as well as bistros and finer restaurants that are piloting daring farm to table experiences. Village Motel seems to be making the earnest effort to keep up, and is in the process of making renovations. The staff is soft-spoken and kind. Our room was spotless. Priorities seem to be appropriately placed, as we had everything we needed, while the main office was filled with supply boxes and the outside (as the photos indicate) is very much dated. Also, while the amenities indicates a fridge upon request (perhaps previously a communal offering in the main office?), we had a mini fridge private to our room, so that may be something to look forward to as renovations continue! I felt possessed to place this review because i do think some other reviewers have been unfair and have expected something from the Village Motel that it otherwise has not advertised itself as. We had the experience pictured and described in the Expedia brochure. It's appropriately priced for what it promises and subsequently succeeds in delivering.

This outdated place really should just be condemned. We were torn on sleeping in the room or our car. Luckily the room provided shelter from the too neighborly neighborhood. It took us almost 20 min to find a person to check in with. They had roaches. And the qater pipes were all full of air. The beds were minimal and once again. We got way less than we paid for. All the pics are DUPES! And most of the rooms are already accounted for by permanent residents that all had their own piles of belongings stacked in front of their claimed rooms. The towels were so paper thin that they were actully full of holes. So disappointed. Its not like we could have booked somewhere else. It was a sold out holiday weekend and the closest availability was over 40 min away. Mountain miles and all.

Driving up to the property, I was instantly regretting my choice to stay there. Check in was quick. We decided to check out our room before heading to a function. The two possible crack heads hanging outside their room swayed our decision to leave suitcases in the room while we were away! The room itself had been redone recently…new floors, tiles in bathroom etc. no hand towels or tissues and I failed to find any smoke detector in the room. Bed was metal framed, fairly new mattress but felt like lying on a box spring to sleep. My husband noticed all the windows of this ground floor room were unlocked! I would have never noticed if I was alone. Second night there, loud noises from the couple directly overhead that lasted past midnight…luckily we use ear plugs! For us, one and done. Almost forgot, when dropping off my key another visitor showed me bites all along his arm that he was reporting to staff, my first thought was bedbugs but after describing it to my husband he said it was a spider bite.

Was in the area for three shows at Bethel Woods. This motel stuck to the basics, room was good, and it was a great value especially considering the scarcity and high cost of places to stay closer to Bethel Woods. Worth the 45 minute drive to Bethel; staff very kind as well!

Needed a place to stay after the concert at Bethel woods Hotel room was clean and comfortable and cheap.. area was soso

Wasn't expecting too much with the 2.5 star rating.. Stayed there because I could walk to the theater for a show

Definitely no frills, but our room eas was clean and spacious. Location eas was a bit noisy, right iff off Rte 209, but an easy walk from Ellenvlle's pleasant downtown.

Very close to the small but fancy downtown of Ellenville NY

Room is nice and clean, but outside is dusty. Location is convenient.
