    Front door was in bad shape. You could see light Around the door. Bathroom window could have used curtains or shades. Security & privacy could have been better. The staff Was very pleasant to us.

    The location was good for us. Clean towels, clean bed.

    This facility needs remodeling. No heat. Was given an electric heater. No electrical outlets in the bathroom. Very few in the room.

    The sheets and towels were clean. Bathroom clean.

    The whole facility is old and tired. The water really smells so the room smells. There are many shortcuts taken t keep the place up, but it needs a big overhaul.

    The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The location is perfect for our needs.

    The bathroom was outdated. But besides that, the sink was filthy on our arrival, and the drain in the tub did not work.

    Room needs updating, old curtains, stale smell. I used to come here annually, but haven’t been in a couple of years and it is a little run down.

    Had to clean the tub and odor in the bathroom. It probably hadn't been used for awhile. The name of the place is deceiving.

    The staff was very accommodating.

    It is an older motel and hasn't been updated in a very long time. The bathroom was small and the shower was clogged so you stood in 2-3inches of water with even a 5 minute shower. The wifi was free but unprotected! It would be so easy to setup a guest password that might offer some protection. Given that we HAD to connect to use our phones, it made me very uncomfortable and I used it sparingly and didn't log on to any sensitive sites/apps.

    Wonderful location, only minutes to downtown skaneateles! The price was fair and offered convenience to our travel needs. They offered wifi which was a must since there was little to no reception (verizon) at the motel. I booked it for its location and that didn't dissappint.

    Out unit was an apartment in the back of the property, we had to walk through an area that had broken furniture, and run down units. It felt like a welfare motel. The entrance screen door to our room did not close properly and their were cob webs. The living space was ok, they had soda and water in the fridge with an envelope to pay for each item which was ok, there was coffee but no pot, which was a bummer. The bathroom was the real issue. The cold water handle fell off when I turned on the shower, the drain was rusted and black, the water pressure was so low that I could not wash my hair. I do not recommend this location. If it wasn't so late when we arrived I would have turned around and left. My fault for not reading the reviews before booking :(

    The water was high sulfuric. We didn't want to shower because of it. They charged for every drink, including water that was provided in the room.

    Room was very small. Too small for a sitting chair. Watched TV from the bed. Had to be careful in the shower.

    the room was not clean, the bed was not comfortable, the bed was older than me I believe and I am nearly 70. The fact that is was not cleaned well was my biggest bother. Big surfaces look clean but cobwebs and dust shows it has not had a good cleaning in a long time. The beds literally squeaked loudly when you sat down on them.

    the location was easy to get to
