Place is and looks as if it hasn’t been updated since the 1970s . In desperate need of major renovations . Room smelled old n musty . Large dogs nearby barking all night , at 5 am a rooster nearby will tell you it’s 5 am . My worst motel experience ever . Owner was nice but pajamas and flip flops are not proper check in attire. Would not recommend a stay to anyone .

Very pleasant place reminiscent of the 1950s. The owner is a very nice man, honestly caring about his guests. If you're looking for luxurious accommodations this probably isn't for you but if you want cozy friendly it's that.

I do not like to write unfavorable reviews, but I would caution people not to stay at this facilitiy. This is a mid-century roadside motel with those tiny cabins that are just a bedroom and bathroom. Not much has been done in terms of maintenance or updating. When I arrived and the owner opened the door, I was met with an overwhelming musty smell. There is no heat, but a space heater was provided. I very seriously considered staying elsewhere. I went out to the event for which I had come to the area. When I returned, I found the heater did diminish the smell. 1 of the 3 outlets didn't work. The only closet is occupied by a small refrigerator with a microwave stacked on top. The dresser was broken. The beds were not comfortable. $140 is too much to pay for this type of accommodation. I regret having to leave this review, but I feel it will be useful to others.

A little creepy
It started off the calling the lodge 24 hours prior to arrival as per Hotels.com instructions. I called and was told that they do not work with hotels.com only expedia. He told me to transfer my reservation to expedia. He finally afer sever minutes and many many attemps he looked and found our reservation. We arrived to the lodge at 745pm. They gave us our room which was next door to motel residents. (Creepy guys in a few diferent rooms) so the room was clean. No blood stains on the carpet. Lol. My wife coukd not sleep l, she was waiting for one of those guys to come in a murder us all. So, in a very sarcastic tone it was a great experience.

A lot better than expected. Had a fridge & microwave which I don’t think says on the site. Staff was extremely nice and asked for feedback when I checked out which I thought shows he cares. No complaints except that the pool is not in use, should at least state that so people know what to expect. Was by myself and a female so was nervous for safety but felt completely safe and secure there.

I stayed here one night on my way to ski Windham Mountain in the morning. It’s about 25 minutes from the mountain. I checked in about 9pm easily. Room was basic but that was all I was looking for. Room was clean, bed was firm, heat worked (it was three degrees outside), and there was a small fridge and microwave. Parked right outside the door so loading and unloading was a snap. For an economical, high-value, easy choice on the way from Philly to the Catskills, this was a good choice. I was satisfied and would go back. Walls are thin, but they always are at these kinds of places. Still, I slept fine. There’s a market/cafe/bar right across the road, but, for first chair departures, they won’t be open. Head right out of the motel and there’s a mini market/coffee/donut/breakfast sandwich place about ten minutes down the road, with just enough time for you to drink the coffee before you get to the mountain.

Hi, Behzad, Sorry to tell you that when you informed us problem about next door guest, we offered you another room but you said everything is ok. For your information our motel rooms are all one bedroom. some rooms are with two double bed & some rooms are with one queen bed. During your check-in I asked you which you would like to take. You spoke a queen bed is fine.

The Catskill Motor Court was so nice! and a very good value. Set amidst the Catskill forests, it has true old-fashioned charm. The rooms (there are also cottages) are not new but mine was more than acceptable. No coffee but there's a deli across the street, and the room had a refrigerator and microwave.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The beds are so comfy, and the cottages are just absolutely adorable. Please stay here if it's open, just book it. It's no-frills, but so glad they had last-minute availability. The owner/operator is also really friendly.

The water is nasty smells like sulfur and sewage slimy on the skin. The guy next to me was on drugs and was going into fits hours all night bagging the walls so hard to make everything shake. Indian guy refused and refused to give any refund then said he gave us a refund of $40 when in fact he did not. Can't sleep Cant shower how is this worth $89??!?! Going to Howard Johnson next time!!!

Always come back here - trust me
I know the Catskills well after spending 10 falls/winters/summers hiking there. This was the very first motel I stayed at, so I’ve considered it to be a bit of a safe haven if another area of accommodation goes wrong. It’s generally easy to book and the staff are wonderful.
