Hotel is old and needs a lot of help. Front office was not inviting and smelled bad. Room was clean but dirty ashtrays outside the doors was not pleasant.

No internet in rooms. Not a huge problem for me because I spent little time in the room, but this would be a big issue for someone traveling for work. Normally in a situation like this I would resort to using a hot spot, but the local Verizon signal is exceptionally weak. Again, not a big problem in my particular circumstances. The proprietor's advice was to sit on a bench near the motel office, where the internet connection works. Fine for an emergency, but far from ideal.

Friendly, accommodating proprietor. Good location for attractions in the middle Hudson Valley. Comfortable room. Room has a fridge and plenty of space.

Extremely overpriced (that said, most accommodation in the area is extremely overpriced). There is nothing wrong with the place. It is simple and quiet, what you would expect from a budget motel, except that it is not a budget motel.

Quiet and comfortable.

Bathroom could have been bigger, shower door did close all the way, could have used a clothes draw. The biggest disappointment was trying to find the motel after dark, the sign was not lite up.

The room was nice and clean . surprised there was daily maid service.

One room we rented had ants coming out of the sink and shower drains. One room was musty smelling. Not much storage in the bathroom. Fridge and TV didn't work well in one room.

It fit our need for a one night stay. It was fairly clean.

The renovations in the room were slapdash. lots of dripping paint marks in colorful bathroom. The door lock was weak and the key hard to get into slot. The chain on door seemed poorly installed. I don't think there was any coffee in the room. The bed was good enough but not super comfortable.

I liked the very helpful proactive woman in charge of checking us in. I liked the new flooring in the room. The location was excellent. The view from the parking lot was good.

The room could use updating. Bathroom was really small. Could use a new toilet. Towels were super rough like sandpaper. Floor was dirty.

Overpriced ! $150 for a small room with 1 bed, old tv, bad shampoo, dark. Needs updating. Also, Booking.com said that our total cost if what we would pay would be $150. Not true. It was $167.

I got exactly what I expected for a $100 country motel. It was clean and everything was in working order. The desk clerk showed me the room before I checked in and everything was to my satisfaction. I will stay here on my next trip to the area. The price was excellent. It appears some other reviewers expected a luxury hotel experience and this is a country motel experience.

When you pay $200 a night after tax, you expect to stay in something high-end. But not at the Elm Tree Motel! No wifi. No coffee. The fridge makes a loud shrieking sound that is impossible to sleep through, so I had to unplug the fridge to sleep. Which means I had to throw away the perishable food I had planned to keep. The air conditioner has one volume, and that is DEAFENINGLY LOUD. So I can either try to sleep in a hot room, or sleep in a room with a screeching AC fan. (Spoiler alert: It is in the middle of the night and I cannot sleep no matter what.) NO WIFI! NO COFFEE! For $200 a night?? This is a RIP OFF. Stay away from this place, go ANYWHERE else!

The only thing good about this hotel was that it was about a four-minute drive from my friend's house, where a large group of us met up for the weekend. That's all. It was close to someone's house. But now that I know what the property is like, I will NEVER stay here again — next time we visit, we'll go down the road to Hillsdale. It'll be a seven minute longer drive to/from our friend's house, but we'll have everything a hotel should have (unlike the Elm Tree Motel, which has nothing).

Light the sign up better

It was dark on the road and the sign wasn't lit, so it was a bit difficult to spot the property.

Very good communication from the proprietor about my late arrival. She accommodated my need to arrive past check-in and was clear on the details of how I would gain access to my room.

This is a dilapidated 1940’s motel. That should not be on a reputable web site. This place was so disappointing that after the event I needed to attend, we drove back to the motel got our suitcase and drove 2.5 hours home at 11pm.

Near where I needed to be

There was nothing to like except the gas station across the street served coffee--and their staff was nice.

no breakfast. No coffee maker. The photo of the room shown on the website was not the room I received. I had paid more for the room I chose on the website and did not receive a refund for the difference. One of the door locks was broken. The toilet ran and ran. Hot water was slow to arrive. The TV had no major channels--just ads and oldies. No news. I will dispute this payment with AMEX.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize on time that there was no Internet and the stores in the neighborhood close pretty early, such as Staples...

The owners are very nice.

They tried to charge us for a full extra night due to a late check out. Very dishonest people. Stay away.
