My wife and I had business in Skaneateles and found the motel to be just what we needed for a simple overnight stay - clean, comfortable, convenient location at a reasonable price! The “check in” was very easy and the family that runs it was very friendly and helpful - even when I lost my room key! Thank you! We’d stay there again! 👍

For the price of $183 a night I was expecting more. Room was clean and I felt comfortable that the linens were as well. The bathroom was small and in need of several updates. There was also a distinct foul smell there. I would not return to this motel.

What I liked: price was reasonable/less than nearby towns; proximity to family events in Auburn was perfect; amenities (refrigerator, coffee pot, TV) were good; vintage bathroom was charming What I didn't like: no or inconsistent hot water in sink and shower; water had a 'funny' color (not clear and colorless); tub drain backed up immediately so must've been clogged with hair/other debris from previous guests

I was arriving later than I thought and owner was very accomodating. The inn was very quiet and I got a nice night’s sleep. It is very reasonably priced.

If I would pay 80-90$ per night then fine, I would know what to expect. But I paid 199$. I expected descent conditions. The place was dirty, dust on the floor. The smell in the room was horrible - strong cheap perfume, probably from the laundry. The water in the bathtub didn’t drain properly and left an unpleasant puddle around my feet during the shower. The photos on the website didn’t match the actual experience. Again — if I were paying $80–90, that’s what I would expect to get. But not for $200. True, it’s still relatively inexpensive, but it’s still $200 — and for that price you can deliver much more value. There were no available power outlets in the room — I had to move the bed just to find one. The old AC unit made an unpleasant noise. The tap water had a terrible taste; we didn’t drink it, of course, but even brushing our teeth with it was pretty shocking. One of the lamps was flickering like it was about to burn out, so I just turned it off. The toilet paper in the bathroom was whatever was left from the previous guest — a partially used roll. Not exactly pleasant. Bottom line, not the best experience...
