Recently stayed at this property for two nights. Requested one bed, but room had two doubles. (Possibly Queens.) Room was clean, well-lit, smelled okay, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Room had two full-sized windows that opened all the way. My suggestion would be to leave them closed if you don't want to be awakened in the morning by passers-by from other rooms. Heat and A/C unit in room was new and worked well. The bathroom was a good size, clean, and recently updated. The water was brown (rust?) when we first turned it on, but after that it was fine for the rest of our two-day stay. Shower head was strong, water was hot. Be warned about the size of the tub/shower. It was narrow at best, cramped at worst. Towels and washcloths were thin and a little rough. If you can spare the room in your luggage, bring a thick towel from home. You'll be glad you did. Bathroom also had a heat-lamp thingy in the ceiling, which kept the room nice and warm after getting out of the shower. Room had a fridge, which was a nice touch. We were able to have cold bottled water and juice which we bought at a nearby gas station. Television worked well, clear reception, and there was a nice selection of channels. (At least 75, all of which came in clear.) The TV has A/V inputs in front, so our $29 DVD player we brought was a snap to set up. All in all, I was happier with this room than I thought I would be. We paid $71.00 per night including tax, but the woman at the front desk said the rates were about to go up. This property is directly across from the SkyTop Motel.

Mama Roma formerly, it cannot have improved with the current name. This is a place at the foot of the Catskills you approach at night, when at your wit's ends where to stay. It is basic here, even base. "Terrible" goes too far, just as "OK" would; "not good" may be the mark.

It looks like a motel, and it is one: You get a room, you get a shower, and you get a bed (two, actually, for $77, as on July 7). First thing that needed doing was unblocking the toilet. Mighty plunger was well on hand at the reception, the rest was DIY. It is better not to watch too many motel movies (why is it they are mostly scary?) for it could give you nasty ideas as to what may have caused the block.

Carpet is well worn down; the door does shut but a little bang helps. Beds are creaky, but you will stay just one night, so what. In the morning all you can get for breakfast is a complimentary cup of coffee in the reception. The adjacent pizzeria opens at 11 am, by which time you will be far away.

On the plus side, you can have a funny conversation at the reception, and even practise Italian. There is a washing machine and drier in a separate lockup room which was clean and did a good job for the standard fee. If you think about it in advance and do some time management, it will help your feelings.

Otherwise do not hesitate to cross the main road, go up the hill to Skytop, and get a deal there. It should set you back another $10 or so, but you have escaped lightly.
