“Absolutely Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed there because we were visiting our daughter at college, and barely made it through the evening before packing up (in less than ten minutes) and booking out of there FAST! We drove home 4 hrs because we could not stand the thought of staying in that place one more minute. It is gross. I'm guessing people on welfare live there, because it seemed like people were just hanging out. The room was so tiny we could barely walk around. The outside looks filthy and run-down, and the room appeared dirty and old. Quite frankly I was scared for my safety, it looked so shady! I didn't even ask about getting my money back we were out of there so fast. I can't believe they rent rooms like this to people. From what I hear, many of the motels in Plattsburgh are like this.

“Clean, friendly staff, reasonable prices, loved the cabin!!!”

We went here after spending the night at a much less desireable place. We stayed in a cabin and it was clean, cozy and the staff was so very friendly and helpful. It is close to my old hangout-Gus' Red Hots and it is still as good as it was 40 years ago!!!

Room Tip: I highly recommend the cabins. I didn't see the rooms but they are probably just as clean and co...

“Great value, friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010

We stayed their one night on our motorcycle trip from Toronto to New Brunswick. It is very handy for the ferry across Lake Champlain. The staff was very helpful - he helped me with access to the internet to retrieve a phone number, and found a prop we needed to service my motorcycle chain. The room was small and with older fixtures, and you need to bring shampoo, but it was clean and relatively quiet. Great value.

“For Sit is hort Getaway”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

We found the Motel on the internet and decided to give it a try from the normal chains. It was for a weekend stay.
The place is VERY CLEAN, WITH FRESH PAINT, UPDATED ROOMS, AIR WORKS GREAT, WITH A MICROWAVE AND SMALL FRIG. The STAFF IS FRIENDLY, ATTENTIVE and willing to please. Its also very close to the beach. A short SHORT Walk. I do need to point out the motel is older so the rooms are based on the old templates for motels from years gone buy. But they work!
This place makes for a great place to stay and hit the beach or the launch point for your fishing on Lake Champlain.
