This is a basic motor inn close to I-195 on Rt 9. We came since it was close to a family gathering and needed a clean comfortable.affordable place to stay.
There's no breakfast or coffee/tea in lobby nor an exercise room or pool. This is a small, family run motel with a fairly brusque manager.
I had asked for a late check-out, since the check-out was 11am and our event was at 1pm, and only 15 min away, but I was granted 15 minutes. [manager's accent was hard to understand, I almost thought he said 50 min more, but no, it was 15] That is not late. Needless to say, he was in the parking lot that morning as folks packed their cars with their luggage, casually collecting our keys, as if to appear helpful. [I saw it as a rush to GIVE ME THE KEY, b/c it's 11 am and time for you to go]
This motel had soap and shampoos in tiny portions, a fairly decent blowdryer in the bath and a small fridge, which helped chill our drinks. The TV was fairly nice and they had wifi which we didn't use. And an in-room coffeemaker. Which was adequate. But make no mistake, this is NO FRILLS !
You can expect a clean room, clean sheets, shower, microwave, a small refrigerator, and a lot of drawer space, counter space, ample lighting and working AC and heating unit.
They did have an electronic door key/card.
I forgot to pack my alarm clock and hoped to find [and set] an alarm clock radio- but there was none.
Minimal parking [one spot for each unit only] and mostly decent as it's perpendicular to the main road, so car noise is 'white noise' and mostly benign.
We did have a fair nights sleep on a 'small' queen bed that seemed to only be a full size, but maybe it was not in great shape so we rolled into each other.
Very no frills!
Upon return home, I noticed I lost an earring so I called to inquire to see if they may have found it. But before I could even explain what it looked like, I was rushed off the phone with a stern "NO" and was told there were no lost earrings found. [wow] Not sure what this guy's problem is, but he was so mean to me the 3 times I encountered him. I guess I'd come again, but have NO expectation to be met with a friendly smile.
