Sheets had not been cleaned, they had crumbs in them and stains of bodily fluid. Cold water didn't work in the sink so could only wash hands with burning hot water. Door to the room was stuck so we had great difficulty opening it and it wouldn't relock, only the deadbolt worked.

Manager was helpful in securing extra rooms when we needed them. Rooms were just fine, but they need some updates. Our room oddly had no lights by the bed, looks like some wall repair was underway, (holes spackled but not painted), the door didn't feel super secure when locked. Smokers were in the hallway and the lights outside were blindingly bright. So.. if you need a place to stay, this will be okay.

Disgraceful!
The property was in the worst condition I have ever experienced. Mold everywhere, the sink wouldn’t drain water, the tub wouldn’t hold water, the bed was broken down, the for had an inch crack all around it.
I called Hotel.com. The manager was not on site! I will not pay for this room!

Room 17 needs cleaned. Smelt smoky and musty, and I woke up with a stuffy nose. Scott, the owner was very nice, but I would not stay here again. Light outside was on and shined through the blinds…

I booked this motel because of the location and good review on breakfast. The place was right on the busy Rte 1 very close to Camden.
The property looked rough and deserted when arrived around 1pm. Front door was locked. Calls to their 888 # and their local number went straight to voice mail. No one called back. We spotted someone who finally checked us in early around 2pm.
The room needs TLC. Curtain rods need fixing, lamp shade broken, furnishers scratched, bad vanity drainage and bed squeaked.
The breakfast was wonderful as on other reviews.
It served our purpose of quick overnight stay to get back on the long drive next day.

It is a very nice, simple hotel. Clean, quiet and good staff. Very small and not upscale but a nice place to stay. Decent breakfast

Honestly, I was surprised at how poor of a condition the room was found. It appeared as if no renovations or even paint touchups had occurred in the last decade. Fixtures couldn't have been updated in perhaps 20 years. Adjacent room had two gentlemen smoking with their windows open which permeated throughout adjacent rooms. I contemplated leaving and sleeping in my car but was settled and took tired after hours of driving. In hindsight, I should have.

I was assigned a room on the backside of the property second floor. Bottom floor had windows that were damaged, outside steps were in a state of repair and trash littered the surrounding area. Unsafe appearance. Room looked dirty and had a very strong unpleasant odor. I informed the man at the front desk it was unacceptable and gave him the key back. I hope to receive a refund for the two nights I had booked there.

The motel is tired and could do with a makeover. We made the mistake of booking a standard room not realising the we should have booked a non smoking one so the room smelled of smoke and animals. On the upside the bed was comfy and the breakfast was good.

On the plus side, the room was available on very short notice, and the breakfast was quite good. However, I was not impressed by the bag of trash outside the room door - it was still there in the morning. The room smelled of cigarette smoke, and a coffee maker would have been welcome (particularly at that room price.) Also, the damaged trim around the bathroom door looked suspiciously like evidence of some kind of violence - an uncomfortable feeling. The lot itself had a lot of trash littered about.

This is a non smoking motel and we smelled cigarettes and pot. We also had ashes outside our door in the morning. No one at the desk. It was not as clean as I would like for a room of this amount. Would not recommend this resort. However the breakfast was worth it.

Was supposed to be a smoke free room and wasn't. I know its legal but the next door folks smoke weed right outside the door. Place is just in poor shape.

Disgusting Inn in a beautiful town.
August 2024 review.
The room was dirty, decrepit, very outdated, smelled like tobacco smoke (even though it was stated as smoke free).
Bed was hard as a rock, sheets all had stains, the comforter also smelled like tobacco.
Pillows (only two in the room) were flat and also stunk.
Asked the manager / front desk person for two extra pillows. They were never delivered.
He was more interested in getting dinner than taking care of his guests.
Shower drain was clogged / slow draining.
The shower head is installed (about 5 feet up) in such a way you have bend over to wash your hair.
Honestly avoid this place.
They are getting away with this disgusting place since it is the only hotel / motel that was available within $180 per night at the time of my visit near Camden
If I had my SUV with me I would have better sleeping in that.

Horrible motel, horrible stay!
This is the worst motel (motel experience) that we have ever had. The room was not clean (bathroom was okay in cleanliness). The floors were so dirty that my feet got black, we couldn't go barefoot in the room. The front door looked like it had been previously broken into and the walls were in disrepair. The worst part was there was a large, bright security light in our window. The blinds were thin and white with no darkening curtains so it was so light in the room it made sleep nearly impossible. I asked if a dark blanket or curtain could be hung on the inside and when we returned to our room that night, someone had hung a thin white blanket over the window. This blanket clearly had body fluid stains on it and didn't help the light. The breakfast wasn't bad but the lady serving it was very unfriendly.
We would've left this motel asap but we had prepaid through hotels.com and there wasn't any other motel availability in the area.
Don't walk away from this place, run!
