Was greeted promptly! Our room wasn’t ready yet because of some issues they were having…they offered to upgrade us but we chose to wait for our cottage room! They were very accommodating to have us relax why we waited! The cottage was so relaxing and quiet! Sat on the porch and listened to the rain fall! Very cozy location!

Great Place for a Hiker
I’ve read some other comments about this being an older property. Honestly, any motel is going to be older. I found this motel to be in very good condition overall. My room was very clean and very comfortable. It was fully stocked with all of the typical hotel items. The kitchen was stocked with most anything you would need, though I only stayed one night and did not cook. The back yard was full of several small decks, grills, and other items that would allow you to enjoy a summer evening outside. I’ve stayed in a handful of motels as I’ve hiked in the Adirondacks and Catskills regions and this was the cleanest, most comfortable, and best maintained. I would definitely stay here again if I am back in the area doing more hiking.

Property was clean. Amenities were as advertised. However, shower temperatures fluctuate from hot to freezing. Stovetop was uneven, making it somewhat difficult to cook.

Outdated, but I could see they had tried to their best to look like a new and clean property with tight budget. It smelled something mold. It could be from old carpet? I wanted to rate 3 stars, but I gave 4 because it’s an excellent location for ski resort and the kitchen area inside room.

The check in was quick and easy. The room was very decent. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice kitchen and the rest room was clean. It is a perfect room for a quick stay before hitting the slopes.

Check-in was easy enough but not secure. Room had some decorative upgrades but need more. No phone in room, no clock/alarm clock, trash bins in bathroom and kitchen only. Rug was stained and not clean in one area of the room, a false eyelash was on the bath towel, a pubic was on the toilet seat, and both beds had indentations where someone previously sat or put their luggage on them. Were the sheets clean? No clue. Wi-Fi may have been available, but I don’t know where the password was, therefore unable to call, text or communicate through my phone. I had no internet access and no phone in the room, which meant I had no way of communicating with anyone should there be an emergency. The motel is still following Covid guidelines, which also meant guests were to have no contact with/enter the office. Unsafe. During the night, there was an enormous boom that sounded like a blast, bomb, cannon or explosion. The motel shook. Very scary, considering no ability to communicate with anyone in case of an emergency. Whoever rated this motel a ‘10’~ sorry, it’s not a 10. I know it’s the mountains… Catskills… but if that’s the best they’ve got, then I’d say it’s quite rustic. If renovations and upgrades were done, it’d be a much better place to stay. I hope they do:)
