We wouldn't shower in the bathroom. Mold was overwhelming. Looked like section 8 housing. We just needed a bed and toilet for the night in a pinch. At least it was free of bedbugs. Wanted to stay in Watkins Glen. There wasn't much available. $99 . You get what you pay for.

The room was tidy. The A/C did not work well. There was only 1 blower setting. When you come in late you have to ring for help to check in, which is fine, but the machines in the space blow heat and the room was sweltering It is in a good location to where we needed to be. This is a fine place to stop in an emergency. We just needed a place to put our heads. There were plenty or outlets and USB plugs
