Had everything we needed for our quick sojourn. Lionel went above and beyond with his service and is an asset to the motel. Man deserves a raise. Would stay again when we’re in Newy next.

The property was close to the venue that we wanted to attend, so was great it that respect. The room we had was close to the main road and was a little tired and run down, but for the price, we could not complain. I would stay here again, however it was disappointing that the Restaurant is still closed due to Covid.

The location of the property was convenient but a little unsafe. There was a random guy who looked like he was on the gear knocking on my door late at night. Bed was super uncomfortable and felt and heard the springs as you lay or turn while sleeping plus it has sunken in. Room was dirty and smelly.
