This place is kind of old school, and adorable. Neat as a pin, and way quieter than a regular hotel.

Property management contacted us while we were en route to let us know about their holiday hours and that our room and check-in had all been handled making for a super smooth check in process and easy stay after our long drive. The property is dated but quaint and adorable. An affordable, nostalgic stay.

Small roadside motel. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but room was spacious and clean, and management was super courteous , friendly, and accommodating. Would stay again !

Clean, convenient, affordable

Relaxing place , nice tables outside in the shade by the door, a little musty in the room but the A/C took care of it. I would stay there again for sure
Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the place we were staying in but definitely bring your own blanket cause they only give you one. The bed was huge and and comfy and the room felt like a cabin which was cool and it was a pretty big room. The only thing was the bathroom was a little dirty when we got there but just the shower. I would stay here again!

Its quiet and the motel management are honest and trustworthy. Only complaint is the shower is cold and the coffee is week.
Lindsey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Felt like a cabin in the woods.

Old fashioned mom and pop motel that we love. The curb appearance is a little shabby, but the room was clean and perfect for our one night stay. Close to Skaneateles and Auburn which was convenient. The owners were very personable.

Old worn out hotel, ceiling falling and pair peeling
jonathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay for one night

Room/cabin had rustic looks, antique style bed and decor. Bathroom was small and needed some TLC. Shower was small, box style. Price was a little high for what you get. But reviews were better than other hotels in the area.
William, 1-night trip

Only thing good was less expensive. Otherwise both beds had bugs;shower filthy; crack around entrance door so not tight
Candace, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Super convenient to Beak and Skiff Orchards for a concert. Clean. We literally just slept there. Had an old moldy smell to it but running the AC took care of it.
Amanda, 1-night trip

I did not like that the rooms were very close to each other, I could hear the people snoring in the next room.
