This location was very clean and perfect for my husband's one night stay at last minute on his business trip. We booked and paid for the room on Expedia and since this app take awhile to notify the hotel my husband did have to pay again once he got there. But the owner then saw the mistake that my husband was double charged one by the Expedia app once it was finally update to their system but another by the hotel he immediately refunded my husband with no issues in less then a day. He apologized and also gave another call to make sure we received and to once again apologized. I have explain to the owner of the hotel it was my 3rd time dealing with Expedia issues contacting the hotel for payment that this was at no fault of him but appreciate how fast he fixed the issue after he figured it out. Will 100% book again when needing a last minute booking again.

Amazing experience

Honestly never like motels because how dirty they can be. But this was a whole different experience, you can tell they take very good care of this motel very easy to get in contact with someone if needed help, changed my perspective on how motels can be. I recommend you guys to at least come check out this place

Room smelled like rotten wood.

The room smelled like rotten wood. The water in the shower was cold. When I contacted staff over the cold water I was just informed that the room next to me didn’t have a problem. I’d consider the staff to be unaccommodating and unfriendly. There was no vent in the bathroom (nor window), so the smoke detector went off even during the cold shower. Overall one of the worst motels I’ve stayed in.

Appears they are renovating. Plastic on the mattess made it noisy to sleep. No ice machine, but the owner did bring me some ice for my cup.

As a budget friendly property it was very good. The neighborhood in Watertown around the hotel was safe and friendly. The owner walked us to our room and made sure we knew how to work the code lock on the door. The room was very clean and freshly painted. The bedding was clean and smelled washed. For the money this hotel checked all of our boxes on our needs. The local restaurant Moe’s Place is amazing! The throwback diner feel and food cooked right, made the stay that much better.

We felt very comfortable staying there. It was quiet and relaxing. It was also near a lot of shopping areas that we needed, namely Wal-Mart. It's close to the army post so we could easily visit our son and his family. Our one concern was that the shower water was not hot enough for my husband. It was luke-warm for me, which is okay. But he definitely likes hot water. There was plenty of hot water from the bathroom sink, and we loved having the fridge and microwave!

I believe they are doing renovations so there was some unsafe areas. Definitely not a spot to bring kids or big pet dogs. Owner was friendly, the location is a five miles from Watertown and there are stores and eateries close but you still have to drive to them from the Inn. Bring slippers and a warm robe!

FORT DRUM FAMILIES: DO NOT STAY HERE! I came to this area to support my sister & her children at Fort Drum while her husband is deployed. This establishment has no regard for guest safety or for military families. Disappointed is an understatement. We were exhausted when we checked in Thursday night, after being awake for almost 24 hours/traveling. We were shown to the room & could immediately smell chemical fumes. Against my better judgement, we stayed the night. After barely sleeping due to noxious chemical smell and the bright light from the parking lot blasting through the window all night, we went to checkout Friday around 7am. I had developed a headache, scratchy throat and watery eyes overnight. Leaving the room, I noticed that the rooms directly next to ours were under construction which I suspect caused the chemical smell. When we went to checkout, no one was in the office and there was no answer when we called the number provided so we were forced to leave without resolving the issue. I reached out directly to the owners of the motel through their website to inform them of my concerns & to cancel the remainder of our stay as a precaution for our health. Rather than acknowledging our concerns, we were gaslit & told we would not be refunded for the unused nights we booked. We were told to contact Expedia & I am in the process of working with Expedia to resolve this issue. I am also filing a complaint with the NYS Better Business Bureau.

This was hands down the worst experience I've ever had at a motel. I don't have high expectations for cheaper places to stay, but I was at least expecting it to be decent and clean given the reviews. This was my experience. When my partner and I arrived the motel smelled strongly of bleach to the point my throat started to hurt. I thought that at least the room would be clean, so we opened the windows and left for a few hours to let it air out. Once we came back we noticed a lot of things. There were crumbs and hair on the nightstand and floor, and some food stains on the ground near the table. The toilet was leaking water, and the sink only ran hot water. The entire motel also felt very humid despite the air being dry outside. Any clothing that we brought began to smell musty and felt damp. My paperwork also started to feel damp and curl over the course of 30min, so I couldn't work on anything during our stay. The towels were absolutely disgusting, and they smelled gross and unwashed. There was also a bug problem. We had flies and spiders that we had to take care of. Luckily there was no bed bugs. Lastly, the wifi connected but kept erroring out, so we had to use data the entire time. I canceled my other booking for this motel and I won't be returning ever again. Maybe my experience was just a fluke given the other reviews, but this experience was so horrible that I can't justify giving it another chance.
