Never again
Definitely called the building inspector! Everything about this place was disgusting! I only stayed cause I have no car at the moment this was the cheapest and where I got stuck. The floor is literally about to cave in. Everything was dirty. The floor was like someone walked in with muddy shoes, I had to clean it myself! The sheets smelled like they were reused ! Freaking gross! Mold in the shower and all over shower curtain! The microwave was disgusting! Thank god I brought my bleach with me! Also, I had asked for NO ROOM SERVICEi literally told the cleaning lady at my door “No thank you” she did it anyways !I was running behind not even 20 minutes and she said “It’s checkout go get out” Everything is dirty about this place! The ice machine has mold all over ! The rugs don’t get vacuumed like….
Shower curtain mold along with the back side of tub ! I cleaned it
Dresser draws filled with dirt
Didn’t finish water they were doin not a biggie just hoping you catch onto what I’m saying

Basic. Bed was clean/check with UV light, no bugs, no stains. Door had a deadbolt and I felt safe. Bathroom was very clean and no problem with hot water. The room heater was a bit weak, blowing hot air, and not able to go above 86 degrees. The floor, could have been washed. I tried damping towels to mop the floor(cause the floors were actually like walking on grip tape. As said, it’s basic, but clean and safe for the most part. No smell of pot/tabacco/vaping(with policy not too do any). Temperature was bearable. The dirty floor, unfortunate. Not having anything in their vending machines, unfortunate(ended up going to a gas station next door). It’s not the Ritz, and does not need to be. It served its purpose, and don’t expect anything more than that.

The property is very clean and rooms sleeping area and bathroom clean. The breakfast is satisfying continental simple nutrition. The building is from approximately 1980 and some of the room's furniture are that warm. In the most recent night's here the temperature slightly below zero the electric heater had no problem bringing the room above 75° If a problem arrises the front desk employees are able to find a solution. This is one of the most price to performance successful motels today in the Northeast USA.

Don’t waste your money or time
Hotel is in a very dark neighborhood and overall feels unsafe. Manager is rude and throws around the word police at the first sign of you having a complaint with your room or service. No hospitality, bugs everywhere and rooms not clean. Wifi barely works and when it doesn’t staff doesn’t know how to resolve. Choice Hotels should be ashamed to call this a location!

NEVER, EVER AGAIN!
Booking thru Hotels.com went smoothly. Description stated "Pet Friendly" and breakfast included. Upon arrival, waited 20 minutes for the "Manager" Bob Patel to check in the couple ahead of me - took him a while because he had to repeat himself a lot - english not being his best language. Looking around the lobby, I noticed a small sign stating there was a $20 charge for dogs and a $50 charge if you tried to sneak a dog in! Nothing about that in the Hotels.com description and that hardly qualifys as "Pet Friendly"! Manager Patel wouldn't budge and was downright rude. My wife and I (and small dog) had just driven 500 miles and were too tired to look for another motel. The room was only minimally clean, with dirt in all the corners. Expecting a good breakfast? Expect generic sweetened fruit loops and sweetened cherios with milk from a thermos bottle. No fresh fruit, no juice. Indescribably terrible coffee.
