    Stained carpets, uncomfortable sheets, tv speaker didn’t work properly.

    Only hotel in Oneonta for less than 300 a night which is ludicrous.

    Unfortunately, I had to watch the end of Freddie Freeman‘s, and the Dodgers, amazing game 1 victory in the World Series on my phone. The TV was working, but not the cable. Everything timed out so I think the service just needs to be updated to a faster package. In the front office just needs to be tidied up. I don’t know what’s going on there, if there is a restaurant or not.

    The hosts were very nice. It was also close to the SUNY campus we were visiting, within 10 minutes. The water pressure was good.. And the towel’s weren’t scratchy.

    At check in, it took the clerk quite a while to find out that my reservation was prepaid, even though I brought your paperwork with me. Usually in motels, there are two waste baskets, one in the room and one in the bathroom. Here there was only one in the room. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable. The shower was a little dangerous, there were no anti-slip decals on the tub floor.

    The room was clean. Everything in the room worked.

    I thought room was a little dark. If you open the curtains plenty of natural light, however if using the lamps you would need to you use all of them to get the brightness you may need. You can see that the motel is renovating the rooms & buildings. All in all no complaints

    I liked the local business district was close enough to drive to, or if you wanted to get some exercise you can walk. Various restaurants to choose from & very trendy. The motel had 2 places to eat with in walking distance. Plenty of parking, and quiet. Room had a small fridge to keep things cold, a microwave & small coffee maker.

    The only issue is the mattresses are firm. But I did not expect one of those expensive marshmallow-soft mattresses at a place like this, and I did sleep fine on it.

    I was very pleased. The outside doesn't look like much, pretty typical of a roadside motel. At arrival, I found the AC already on and the room nice and cool. The room was very clean. They had that nice LVT flooring rather than carpet. Water pressure was good. I also noticed there was no one in the rooms abutting ours which made for a very private, quiet, restful night.

    The front desk personnel were curt almost to the point of being off-putting, but we attributed that to the fact that they were not native English speakers. If we had been traveling in their country and trying to deal with a motel in their own language, they probably would have felt the same way about us. There was no breakfast, and we were told that there would only be one ice container per room which was also a little off-putting.

    The motel was a classical 1960's motel located about a mile out of town. There were two desks and lamps so my partner and I could both work at our computers. This was an unexpected definite plus, although there was no chair. We were able to get one from what used to be the breakfast area. Internet signal was good. The room was old and showed signs of wear, but for the price, it was fair value. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and well supplied.

    The front office could be better staffed, we had to leave our keys in a drop box. The office was closed at 8:30 in the morning. They could use more/better stocked vending machines.

    The rooms were clean, the A/C worked well, and the bathrooms were clean. Could use extra towels but our stay was nice and got what we paid for. This is a no frills motel but its acceptable for the price.

    I felt I overpaid for what I got. However, I should have researched more, I could've gotten a better place for a similar price but was in a pinch and didn't want to dally. Lessons learned, fault mine. No complimentaries like shampoo or soaps or anything.

    Location was perfect for me. Was only staying 1 night, just needed a place in between jobs. Room seemed clean, had a bit of difficulty with the wi fi but the front desk was quick to fix the issue. I ended up needing another night, and that transition was easy as well. Overall, I needed a quiet place to recharge before the next barrage of work and this hit the spot. Wi fi great once I got the password figured out.
