Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Finding this place is like finding a hidden treasure. The rooms are large and exceptionally clean. It comes with a 55" smart tv, a large table, 2 club chairs, a very comfortable bed, microwave, oven, fridge with freezer, a great air conditioner, a well lighted sink just outside the bathroom, free and strong Wi-Fi, free parking, triple locks on the door, tiled floors in the room and bathroom, and tiled walls in the bathroom.

My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively, both internationally and domestically but, Matt, the manager, is the best hotel manager I've ever come across. Beyond being extremely professional and courteous, he'll go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that a guest has a great stay.

Russ, the assistant manager is fabulous, as well.

I'll be back for sure whenever I want to get away from NYC and seek peace and relaxation in a lovely rural area.

Made reservations for a 7 day stay after visiting the motel website. When we arrived the motel was not as it looked online. Our room was still being cleaned when we arrived. My sister spoke to the manager, Matt about the difference between the room and the rooms shown online. Matt seemed to blow off our concerns saying the rooms are being renovated. We were a little confused but went for a hike to waste time. When we returned we were pleasantly surprised at how clean the room was after Matt and his helper spent a good amount of time working on it. Our stay was nice. Everyone was friendly. Matt was working all positions at the hotel. He was always on the move. He was impressive!! We will visit again. Matt spoke of his plans for improving the motel, we look forward to seeing if his dreams come true.
As far as what could be improved; the pool is out of commission. We were told it will be filled in. Too bad!!! If improvements continue to the building and the pool was maintained this motel could be a huge hit in the summer. I don't think they would have any vacancies and they could increase their rates. Vending machines and an ice machine should be on site as well. I have never stayed at a motel that didn't have an ice machine.
Also a dresser and towel racks are missing. Perhaps they will be added during the improvement process?
It was a nice stay despite.

This motel was such a good experience! When we pulled up after booking online I was a bit afraid that other reviews had steered me wrong since it did NOT look appealing from the outside and there was work being done on one of the rooms.
But all those fears were put to rest once we got into the room.
The manager Matthew was so very kind and accommodating. We booked a room here because we needed a pet-friendly option and it was just perfect for my husband and our elderly dog. The room was large and decorated very nicely. It felt very homey and was very clean.

I read the reviews and thought this place fine to stay at. When I arrived, I was very concerned about the safety and appearance of the Motel. While there is CCTV surveillance and doors with digital locks , I did not feel safe. After dark, many of the residents in the Motel looked a bit sketchy. There was a truck parked outside our room filled with dogs who barked all night long. The room was not the cleanest. There was no bar soap, I was told by maid "they ran out" and I should use the shower gel. Then she miraculously found a bar of soap for me. Then I was told there used to be an ice machine , but it was broken....I have severe allergies and started to not feel great. I then saw the night stand was caked in dust. I cleaned it. I decided to check the headboard. Around 2 inches of dust on the headboard. Behind the bed looked like it had not been vacuumed in quite awhile. This Motel needs a major overhaul. It is a state of disrepair. The only plus was that the manager was a sweetheart. fell bad writing this review. he seems like a hard worker. However, I wish I had seen a review like this and not booked.

This hotel was awesome.

It looks like an old roadside motel, but our room was seriously nice, cozy and clean.

The beds were comfy. The room had a nearly full sized fridge. There was a small kitchen table with two chairs, as well as a pair of comfy chairs to sit in. The TV was huge, with Roku built in.

We got there late and because we had paid in advance, the staff left our key in a lock box on our door. That was convenient.

It was perfect for our needs, reasonably priced, and just a better experience than you’d get at a similarly priced chain hotel.

We stayed in this hotel for one night. The hotel has a few issues, but it was recently bought by someone new so it is in the midst of being remodeled and going through upgrades. The faucet on the bathtub did not match the temperature coming out of the shower head. The sink knob for hot/cold was opposite of the temperature coming out of the sink faucet. The shower heat set the fire alarm off. The TV had a large number of religious channels. People were being very loud outside of the office area while I was trying to fall sleep at night. Beyond those issues, I slept well the remainder of the night and the bed was comfortable. Matt, the front desk clerk, was an interesting character and was much more helpful than your typical hotel front desk clerk. He went out of his way to make us feel welcomed.

Recently stayed at this little motel while attending Spartan race at nearby Mountain Creek resort. Upon pulling up to the place it looked like a rundown old motel. However, after checking in with the owner and getting our room we could not believe how nice and clean this motel was. 55 inch TV full-size new refrigerator new microwave. Ridiculously clean rooms. Great value. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area

My 5 star review is based on the outstandiing customer service . Matthew the motel manager was kind , knowledgeable and professional. We have been fortunate to have traveled all over the world, staying in 5 star hotels along the way. We felt more welcomed at the Sussex Motel than some large hotels.
We had a newly renovated room..clean and comfortable.
They are renovating and keeping this great little motel alive.

I travel for my job and I've always been a big fan of the old-fashioned roadside motels. The Sussex Motel is probably my favorite. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable. Two wonderfully friendly people co-manage the facility. Very Nice!

This motel doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is a whole other story! The room was great - clean, well equipped and looked like a page out of the Ikea catalog. Bed was comfortable, there was a fridge, microwave and a really big table to spread out all your stuff. Nice clean bathroom, lots of towels and the entire room has a nice tile floor - no icky carpet - a pet peeve of mine in motels. I saw a pool and fire pit outside along with 2 restaurants at the strip shopping center right next door and another 3 were just minutes away.
I suspect this motel will renovate the exterior to match the very nice interior that appears newly redone. Matt was a very nice person to deal with - helpful and caring. Rates were very reasonable.
