We stayed there because we were visiting our daughter at college, and barely made it through the evening before packing up (in less than ten minutes) and booking out of there FAST! We drove home 4 hrs because we could not stand the thought of staying in that place one more minute. It is gross. I'm guessing people on welfare... More

We went here after spending the night at a much less desireable place. We stayed in a cabin and it was clean, cozy and the staff was so very friendly and helpful. It is close to my old hangout-Gus' Red Hots and it is still as good as it was 40 years ago!!! More

We stayed their one night on our motorcycle trip from Toronto to New Brunswick. It is very handy for the ferry across Lake Champlain. The staff was very helpful - he helped me with access to the internet to retrieve a phone number, and found a prop we needed to service my motorcycle chain. The room was small and with... More

This motel was perfect for fishing Lake Champlain. It has everything that fisherman need: ample boat / truck parking, plenty of electrical hook ups, security cameras, a large laundry facility, fridge and microwave, wireless internet, and only 5 minutes to the boat ramp. It is an older, no frills motel run by great people. During our big tournament, they even... More

It is safe and the rooms are cleaner and updated and the rates are still low. The bad.. it could use a different manager, someone who is attentive to the needs of the... More

Retro motel that reminds the 50s. Decent place to crash safely for little money. Our room was perfectly clean, so were the bed sheets. Rooms are small with low ceilings, but are equipped with cable TV, fridge, microwave and full bathroom. Service was not troublesome at all. I give it a green light. More

Had a confirmation letter,booked weeks in advance,then they called and said oops you out no room for you with 6 days notice on "bring your kid to Plattsburgh State" weekend. Left us out in the cold. DON'T STAY HERE..... your confirmed reservations are not worth the paper they are written on!!! More
