“Solidifies my reason for moving out of Middletown, NY!.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights because it was convenient for what I was in town for. I lived in Middletown for almost 10yrs so was aware of the riff raff that goes on at this hotel (motel). When we had arrived there were 3 Wallkill police cars at the entrance doors. As we were walking to the lobby door we saw an empty glass liquor bottle in a paperback on the ground. When we walked in we were greeted by the front desk clerk who was very friendly and nice. During the check in process there were 4 cops in the lobby talking to a man that was sitting down in a chair. I took my key and proceeded to the 2nd floor. The room was freezing when we walked in so turned the heat up to 85. The room was fairly clean besides the big burn hole in the comforter on the bed. When I went to use the safe it was locked and I was unable to get it open. I called the front desk that sent up a housekeeper supervisor, who had to come back because the safe was locked for 12minutes. She came back about 30minutes later and with the assistance of two maintenance guys she couldn’t get it open. Told her it wasn’t that deep and I was already frustrated. If you choose to make coffee in the room invest in some creamer and bring your own hair dryer. Staying here was a comedy show for me as I knew what to expect and it just solidifies my reason for moving out of Middletown, NY!.

“Overall, very nice for the money.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2010

The beds could be more comfortable, but it really wasn't too bad. The location is nice, right off of a main road with a lot of stores. They lock the door at night and buzz you in.

The desk clerk was rude, it was like he was going out of his way to be miserable.
I had a reservation made by WyndhamRewards I arrived there early about 5pm, the desk clerk told me he had no pet rooms available .
I finally got a room ,if not for the fact that it was too late to cancel and loose my Wyndham rewards points I would have gone someplace else , never again,

Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay at our hotel last May. I apologize for the poor customer service you experienced. I've recently come on board at the hotel and have begun making inroads on customer service training to correct such unacceptable behavior. It is our hope that you would consider utilizing us again on your next trip to the Middletown, NY area.

Many thanks,

“Warning!!! Do not stay here!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2009

person found this review helpful

This place is DANGEROUS!, scumbags in the parking lot, drugee's in the hallways smoking and drinking. Room had an intense mildew smell, and was filthy. The security door was broken so anybody could walk into the building, and this is an area where it matters! We tried to sleep, but had to leave because people were partying in the hallway, and smoking. As we walked out a drunk guy asked if we wanted to buy stolen watches for $5 in the hallway! We asked for a refund, and the clerk said he couldn't give one, to call back and talk to the manager tomorrow, we did end up getting a refund the next day. This place is a SLUM, and gets it's money from people living here on government assistance that don't mind living in their own filth. You will not feel safe or clean here, this place should be shut down for health violations. SAVE YOURSELVES THE DISCOMFORT, DON'T STAY HERE!
