Reviews of Elm Tree Motel 2 stars

I didn’t know there was breakfast, I don’t think there was. Location was nice

The room was definitely clean. The owners were very nice. But the room seemed old and worn, bed not comfortable. Shower door in disrepair. It was a very old facility that needed updating. Electrical outlets looked overloaded maybe not safe

Basic room, good value, clean and quiet. Owner/ manager very helpful and courteous

No complaints

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.

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.

Location

No hot water and not clean

Private setting- no common hallways with a seating area outside the door.

Price

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

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.

Quiet and comfortable.

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.

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

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 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).

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!

Location

Light the sign up better

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.

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

Near where I needed to be

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.

None

Coffee available
