    The office at WW was never open. The lock on my door did not seem very secure. There was a chain on the wall, but no place on the door to attach it.

    Plenty of parking b/c no one was there! Plenty of towels and a noisy AC unit in the wall where there was once a window, two luggage racks, a small coffee maker and two packages of coffee, and some bars to eat. TV, but we didn’t watch much. Everything was old, like from the 1960s, except the bed, and the bathroom was probably updated in the ‘70s/‘80s. The sign by the road was very faded and hard to see. It seemed like very few upgrades were done since the motel was built, maybe in the late 1950s or early 60s? We give it a D grade, but it is close to Skaneateles, which was the goal since hotels there are much more money. In this case, the extra money for a nicer room would have been worth it. The woman who checked us in was fine, not unfriendly. Businesslike. Glad we only had to stay one night!

    It’s a cheap stay, and you get what you pay for. I felt safe at least! And the bedding wasn’t bad. The ac worked! The tv was hard to operate, but there was cable. Parking was easy.

    We stayed at this place, as we were attending a wedding in the area. One of the reasons we booked it was the loungers around the pool. The plan was to hang out by the pool in the morning / early afternoon and read and relax before the wedding. The pool area as shown in the pictures of this place does not exist. It was very disappointing. There was not a comfortable chair to be found to read outside and relax.

    Not at all what I expected for $150.00-shower curtain had mold on it.no recognizable sign for the lodging-the smell outside smelled like something dead.-the pictures were not what I got-I made a bad mistake and I would not recommend!!

    Location and small motel for family with dog We didn't like the lack of care of the property on the outside. The dead plants and sticks and such should have been picked up around the property. It was June. It was not like it was April. Why not refresh your outside with flowers and also a flag and a better road sign. Pick up the gazebo area and not have broke things sitting around.

    This is an older motel that appears to be in the process of being restored. The beds were comfortable and generally it was clean, but the floor needed a good mopping. The location is great. The managers were a young couple who were responsive to our needs. I wish them luck in turning this into an affordable stay near Skaneateles, NY.

    rods, entry door and bathroom door.

    The picture posted were not accurate. There was no heat or internet. We finally got a mobile heater and TV service our last evening there. United was not cleaned or serviced during our stay

    The staff wasn’t there at check in. Room was unlocked with key in it. The floors were dirty and dusty. The Wi-Fi was unreliable. Also heard people in the room next to us talking/arguing.

    For the money this property was a good deal. All the hotels around were crazy expensive I’m not sure if it was due to Mother’s Day weekend or the food truck festival nearby but everything was crazy. I’m not one to normally choose motels but this one was pretty good I thought. Not bad for a place to crash after our event. It was a nice touch they had free water, pop, and snacks in the room. Nice tv.

    but great location clean and comfortable. no coffee

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    There was no breakfast offered, but places to eat within a few miles. The sheets and towels looked clean. Well the paint was peeling off the wall in places and bathroom sink was coming away from the wall. The tv didn't work. There was a big gap around the door to the outside. There were dead bugs in the floor corners. It didn't look much like the online pictures. Also someones doggy next door wasn't happy in the middle of the night. I feel like we should get money back!!!!

    Comfy bed, very clean room and bathroom, liked having a minibar (even though we didn’t use it). Sign out front needs replacing

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Cute little rooms with a little outside space with a couple chairs and table. Room was very dark. Could use a little more remodeling.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The room was clean. The toilet did not flush properly. You had to flush many times and that still didn't do the job. The bathroom window did not close all the way and outside temp was 41degs. That night. No curtain on bathroom window which was on ground floor. Television did not work.
