Unfortunately, there is no sound proofing and our neighbour had TV blasting all night - we did not sleep at all and he did not respond to our knocking. The sink in the bathroom was leaking on the floor. The motel is in a very good location, the beds were comfortable, linens clean but overall it is in much need of TLC.

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.

Lovely little spot. Very quiet and a bit hidden. Check in was very quick and the stay was nice. We were just in town for the night, and it was a perfect fit.

The property has a nice gazebo for outside seating. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Other than that this facility needs a lot of TLC and is in poor technical shape.

I really liked the layout and decor. Even though it is your basic small motel room the furniture is sleek and had room and surfaces for spreading out as we do for even a short stay. Clean and comfy!

It was a great spot for me and my family to lay our heads for the night. It truly would’ve been a 5 star review if the bathrooms were scrubbed down a little better. Unfortunately the pool hours (11am-5pm) didn’t work for our quick little stay. The outdoor area was beautiful at night filled with fireflies!
