A Hidden Gem
Motel is tucked away from the main road, private. Grounds we well kept with many flowers, bushes and trees. Fire pit with chairs and outdoor grill. Room was simple and very, very clean with lovely decor. It also had a small refrigerator, microwave plus coffee station, desk and tv. The bathroom was spotless and offered many, many different amenities. What a hidden gem!

Disliked: Room comfort
Unpleasant
Room door did not have security view. One set of curtains that were not blackout. No sheer curtains so could not let natural light in without exposing view into entire room. Could not open windows because screens were ripped with big hole openings. Room very small and because could not open curtains, was like living in a basement. One flimsy desk chair, no other place to sit except in bed, which had deformed mattress. No hot water out of sink, even after running tap for 15 minutes. Warm water in shower after about 15 minutes. We visited on a Saturday and Sunday and all day both days a backhoe was running all day long, very noisy and disruptive. Had to leave the room both days just to get some peace and quiet. The room smelled weird as did the bedsheets, pillows and towels. It was an odd scent that stayed on our clothing. Not a fresh scent. AC unit was so loud, we could not hear tv even on full volume. We stayed in the room because sleeping in our car was not an option. We picked this place because of the good ratings and now sorry we stayed here. Our experience was unpleasant and we could not wait to leave.

Very clean property and reasonably priced. The rooms are nicely decorated and the staff is friendly. The location is right off of the freeway. There is some road noise but the A/C unit has a fan that will run on low for white noise.

Very quiet little retro motel vibe. Updated with vinyl flooring, new paint, and fixtures. Bed was simple and the sheets were stained so we ran to the nearest Walmart and bought some clearance sheets/pillow cases to use on top. Front office staff was polite, with few words exchanged. Be warned every room has at least 3 small steps for entrance. We were not aware and had a member with knee trouble that managed, but we would have chosen a different lodging option had we known.

Overall the motel has everything you might want for a comfortable stay. From the must haves, cleanliness, amenities, and parking, to the nice to haves, decor, extras in bathroom. The one thing that made me lower my rating from 5 to 4 was the air freshener scent in my room and bathroom. It was so strong that all my clothes were saturated with it. I could still smell it when I went out to dinner as if I had applied it like perfume. I looked around my room to see if it was a plug in but I couldn't find a source. Surely such an overpowering scent is not necessary.

Stayed for a night on our way home from Boston, ended up exploring New Port the next morning. Only about a 25 minute drive from NP and our room was clean, spacious, and our only issue was one outlet didn’t work but there was ample others in the room to use! No complaints, would absolutely recommend.
