    They need to up their cleanliness game! Dusty! They need to put in the effort to really clean the rooms for customers to WANT to come back and stay!

    It was a reasonable price! Nice size room, which, I had a king size bed for 2 adults.

    The owner is in the process of fixing up the place so I think it will get better. The exterior needs work. It's no frills, old school motel style. If you want fancy its not for you. If you need a clean, no frills crash, it's fine.

    For the price the hotel was fine. It's an older place, but inside was clean. My first impression of the look of it wasn't great, but the staff was helpful and we actually had a nice quiet sleep.

    Old motel. Had issue with the key card & nobody was around to help at first. Fortunately, the housekeeper was nearby & got me in.

    Price & location was good. Liked Fridge & Microwave. Liquor store across the parking lot

    Unfortunatly We arrived when the sun was shining brightly through the front door and window which showed every speck of dust and there were many. There was a smoked-in smell. It looked as If the room was rarely dusted. I was able to open the screened windows to let fresh air in but I was still coughing the entire night from the chemical smell. Right outside the back window was an abandonded toilet and several doorless refridgerators. There was no reading lamp, just a very bright overhead lamp. Ther was mold in the shower. We left as early as we could.

    It was the only offering in Chestertown that was on Booking.com on the day that I made my reservation. Next time I will check a bed and breakfast site. I believe that the sheets and pillowcases were clean.

    The drunk obnoxious neighbors harassing me and my family. Throwing beer bottles. Asking for drugs. Slamming the doors on hotel room next to our room. Reving engine. Just unacceptable. Now manager did tell them to quiet down. But... to no avail. They kept acting like fools

    Convenience to visit family and friends. Been staying here off and on for many years now. It has improved a lot!! A lot!!

    Plenty of free parking. Accomodation was basic but very clean. Within walking distance of various businesses and close to both the college and the rest of town. Quiet setting. Good lighting outside the complex. Complimentary beverages.

    The price

    Had a hard time controlling the temp of the AC and it was freezing in my room. Thin sheets and no blanket made for a chilly nites sleep. Small tv A lot of money for an overnight stop. The shower was nice

    The room decor was very dated. The bed linens and towels were thin. The rooms were musty (the night manager came in with air freshener as soon as we arrived) and the carpet was sticky.

    We came in late and left early, only looking for a bed for the night and a roof over our heads, which this satisfied. The location was in the center of the commercial area of Chestertown, easy to get to, and within walking distance of several breakfast options. Some reviewers said they felt the area unsafe; we didn't have that feeling but we were traveling as a family and not alone.

    Most everything, dirty and rundown. Creepy people hanging around that didn't appear to stay there. It's clearly not a good place, it is more like a flop house. It needs to close down and remodel. It is hard to communicate with the manager as his English is not his 1st language, on the phone it is almost impossible to understand him, in person he was likable, but it is clear he is trying to spend very little on up keep to make as much money as possible.

    Close to the people we visited

    I stayed here before and it was fine, so decided to book it again. However, this time I found it to be dirty and the bed gave me a bad rash...The second night I slept in clothes and the rash mostly went away but hopefully it won't come back (I just checked out).

    Location. It has a great location in a town with very few affordable options.

    It wasn’t clean - mold in the shower, edges of the room not vacuumed, stained comforter. People were standing outside drinking while others hung out in their vehicles doing drugs.

    Across from the college. Front desk person was friendly.
