This is the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed here, it is close to Pennings Farms which we come to once a year in the fall. The property is nice, quiet and comfortable. We will continue to stay here in the future.

I was attending a reunion at the Blue Arrow Farm in nearby Pine Island, NY. This hotel was only 6 miles away so quite convenient. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. The man told me checkout was 10:30am but I read that it was 11am. I left at 10am so it didn’t affect me.

Much better than expected. After reading other reviews, I brought my own airbed and sheets... but I didn't need them. The room looked much better than the pictures (but there is no longer a couch) The first room smelled like smoke but not manager's fault someone smoked there. Next room was perfect. Everything was clean, and all the little things were there: Full sets of towels, toiletries, plenty of outlets and USB ports, lights, microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker (only enough coffee for one pot). The walls are thin. If you're noise sensitive, bring ear plugs or run the fan unit all night, which is what I did. AC cycles on and off. Luckily I didn't need AC.

I checked in but did not stay. My first room had blood and brown stains on the sheets. The manager made me go back to the room and show him and then said we will clean. When I asked when that would happen he gave me a second room. That room had mold in the shower, a crusty shower head, and cardboard and masking tape shoved in the baseboard heater. Do not stay here. The management grows very upset if you complain about the cleanliness. I did not feel safe after saying I could not stay in either room due to the things described above.

Motels always have ratings that are artificially high compared to Hotels. An 8 rating for a motel would be 6-7 for a hotel. This is true for the Appalachian. Clean and comfortable but scantily furnished. Maintenance issues were obviously taken care of by an unskilled person and appear half-assed. The owner speaks little English and is hard to understand. He can be impatient and rude.

Motel itself is decent but the beds were horrible. I checked into my room and admediately started examing the beds. It was a piss stain on the top of the comforter and when i pulled the comforter back, there were black and brown stains on sheets. I was moved to another room but the comforters there were also dirty. I got a refund and left the property right away.

Clean, Modern and Comfortable

For a small motel in a rural area I admit I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and modern the room was. Everything was modernized; the furniture, the mattress and bedding, the countertops and fixtures. Though there was an old school air conditioner that wasn't quiet, but fortunately it worked fine. The bathroom vanity was new, though a bigger countertop would have been appreciated. And while the bathroom was clean, the walls had a rough patch job, and the caulking needs to be redone. I checked in super late without an issue and I was able to bring my dog for an additional $25, which I think is fair. I would definitely stay again.

Good value

While the room wasn't pristine or perfect, the defects were very few and quite minor. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise, too, as it was much nicer than average for the room price.
