Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Adequate for price. Stayed one night. I did not use the TV or shower, just slept.
Major complaint: Hard to find motel, even with GPS. Coming down Route 11, "Harrisburg Pike", from Interstate 81 I failed to identify their driveway with too-small sign for the motel. The motel is set 500 feet back from the highway, perhaps more.
From I-81, you need to make left turn against traffic to enter a poorly marked driveway. First time I missed driveway, GPS led me around past a derelict building next door. Nearby are defunct businesses , not lit, apparently vacant. "Harrisburg Pike" is poorly lit and has a steady stream of semi-trucks going both directions.
The floor was hard surfaced faux linoleum but clean. My room was very large. Furniture was shopworn but entirely adequate for the price. The wheeled desk chair was good on the linoleum.
Minor complaint: My window opening to front parking lot was actually unlocked the whole time. I only noticed the next morning when packing up.
I would not want to be staying there without access to a car. Harrisburg Turnpike is dark, full of semi-trucks, no sidewalk, hostile to pedestrians.
The area did not seem unsafe or "ghetto," just old worn down strip development. The abandoned structure (dead motel awaiting teardown?) next door seemed erie and ominous to me, a grown man. I wondered if it had squatters inside. You get what you pay for.
