Older motel but room was a good size and clean. Bring your own shampoo as none is provided along with no hand towels. Bath towels were fairly new. Park right in front of your room. Great accommodation for the price.

This old-school motel is an amazing value. Pluses include being able to load directly from your car to your room and a huge fridge (as hotel/motel rooms go). Just don't expect modern styling (although the bathroom was remodeled), breakfast or even a coffeemaker in the room...but a Dunkin' is a 2-minute drive away. There's traffic noise early in th evening, but it subsides later...and turning on the fan in the climate unit drowns it out anyway.

This was kind of a blast from the past! I hadn't stayed in a motor court since I was 15, and I'm 69! Sackets Harbor had a big battle re-enactment, so we were not able to find anything else, but it was better than we had expected. The room was stuffy, so we opened the windows to allow some fresh air in.

This family-run motel is like taking a trip back in time, before cookie cutter motels with standard decor mandated by a corporate designer in some head office thousands of miles away. It was clean, comfortable and (in a good way) straight out of the 70's. (but with modern TV) It is a great deal, I recommend that you take advantage of this wonderful time capsule.

We have stayed here before. It’s a good value and is clean. We were upgraded to a larger room. Unfortunately it was too far from the main router so we did not have internet service. The toilet was also very unpredictable. It did not flush properly. Owner is very friendly and we understand they are trying to get better service. It should be mentioned that internet is not available in the 3 rooms across the road. Some people may be upset not having this service. Other then that it was good.

Our room was clean and easy access from the highway. The queen size bed could use a mattress pad for a little more comport. Just do to construction design , the big step up into the bathroom was a little steep. Other than that all was good, good value and easy to access to all shopping and dinner places.

Allen's Budget Motel was an economical solution to our visit near Watertown. The room reminds us of something out of the 70s or 80s, nothing fancy, but very usable. With the A/C going we didn't hear any outside noise. Pleasant staff.

The room was clean and comfortable. There was 2 work areas-desks-for any work. Microwave, sink, and mini-frig. The shower had a step up with a raised edge, so there was no water getting on the floor. The room was basic-it had what one needed for a good nights sleep. A restaurant was close by for meals, but you could do some quick in the room. No pans or dishes provided. The room met my needs. I was very pleased.
