The exterior of the motel looks a little older, but the room was super cute, very clean, and comfortable! Jackie, the manager, was so kind, responsive, and welcoming. I texted her before checkout to let her know the tub was clogged (it was that way when we arrived and we didn’t realize until late at night), and she apologized right away and said her husband would take care of it. The motel was fully booked for the weekend but still super quiet — we didn’t hear our neighbors at all! We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful!

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! over the summer I had gotten burned multiple times staying at motels that weren't nearly as clean as the Hotels.com photos made them seem to be. This place looked amazing! The building is old but the owner is in the process of remodeling everything, starting with the rooms. The rooms looked incredible, all brand new furniture and super clean. The bed was firm, I like firm mattresses but some people may not. It was delightfully cozy and the owner was super friendly and helpful with local food recommendations. Will definitely keep this place on my radar!

I had a family reunion on a Saturday in Warwick, NY, and my 18-year-old daughter and I drove up the night before from Virginia. Knowing we’d be arriving very late, I was looking for something affordable just to stay the night, attend the reunion, and head back home the next day. We stayed at the Sussex Inn Motel, located about 30 minutes from the reunion site, and I was very happy with our stay. We arrived a little after midnight, but the motel owner texted me ahead of time to confirm our arrival and provided clear instructions on how to access our room using the lockbox. The room was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed, including enough towels. We were able to park directly in front of our room, which was convenient. We briefly met the owner in the morning; she was very welcoming and kind. The motel is not fancy, but it was perfect for a short, no-frills stay. My daughter and I both felt safe throughout the night. The only things we would have liked to see: a full-length mirror in the room and a deadbolt on the front door for added peace of mind. We did notice that the door had to be pulled firmly to latch completely; at one point, it wasn’t closed tightly and blew open with the wind. Despite that small issue, I would definitely stay here again. It was clean, comfortable, and affordable...just what we needed. Plus, there is a Dunkin’ just 0.2 miles up the road, and the Holland American Bakery, only 0.4 miles away, sells drip coffee for just 25 cents!

The Sussex Motel is one of those simple 1960's era motels that are fast disappearing. You know the type: drive up and park right in front of your door, you have an old fashioned metal key, the room is spacious enough to sleep 12, if you had to. But, the place has been modernized -- and nicely at that. It's clean, everything works, the water pressure is forceful and the staff is delightful. One thing, though: there is no one manning a front desk, so you must have a cell phone to check in. You call the number posted on the office door, and the charming young lady who runs the motel comes out, greets you, hands you that old fashioned key and gives you the run-down on all the sites and eateries and taverns within a 5-mile radius of the motel. Couldn't ask for better than that! Very good, all around.

this motel is very convenient and affordable. not a fancy place, and a bit dated in style, but it had very comfortable beds, decent towels and toiletries, and a better fridge than most hotels. Bagel Tree is an excellent breakfast option in a shopping center that is directly next door...probably a quarter mile walk if you wanted to do that. We stayed two nights. For the price it is a great value.
