Village Motel

Upon pulling in, I was worried about the room condition. However, it had been revitalized. Beautiful shower. All the room needed was a dresser and some artwork on the walls. Some photos of the mountains with fall colors would be easy to do.

The stay was terrible. No inside lock for the door. We had to move the fridge in front of the door. No handicap accommodations. I'm an amputee, and could bathe or shower. Parking lot is so small it takes several back and forth movements to just enter, or leave the lot. Do not stay here at any cost. Freddy Krueger himself would be horrified by a stay here!

The property itself is older but the room was very clean and the bathroom newly remodeled. Bed was comfortable and it was quiet. Conveniently located on the main road through this area.

The Village Motel is a rustic and practical stay that is clearly in the midst of an awkward adolescence. It was a straightforward and well-priced stay for a clean room and a quick night's sleep. We would definitely stay again. It echos the awkward tensions between the rural mountain-village Ellenville I knew twenty years ago, and this newer, budding town that has your mainstay fast food chains as well as bistros and finer restaurants that are piloting daring farm to table experiences. Village Motel seems to be making the earnest effort to keep up, and is in the process of making renovations. The staff is soft-spoken and kind. Our room was spotless. Priorities seem to be appropriately placed, as we had everything we needed, while the main office was filled with supply boxes and the outside (as the photos indicate) is very much dated. Also, while the amenities indicates a fridge upon request (perhaps previously a communal offering in the main office?), we had a mini fridge private to our room, so that may be something to look forward to as renovations continue! I felt possessed to place this review because i do think some other reviewers have been unfair and have expected something from the Village Motel that it otherwise has not advertised itself as. We had the experience pictured and described in the ******* brochure. It's appropriately priced for what it promises and subsequently succeeds in delivering.

The Village Motel is a reasonable deal for the money. The motel itself is run-down, and there are some spots on the stairs and balcony that feel a touch dangerous. Also, the deadbolt on my room didn't work, which was a touch unnerving. That said, the service was good and the room was spotless. The bed was firm, the water pressure was strong, the AC was outstanding, and the towels were clean. Overall, I'd say it was very basic lodging at a very low price. I won't be staying there again, but I slept well while I was there.

Terrible run down building. Beds were okay and room and bathroom were clean but wouldn’t stay there again.

The motel is well worn on the exterior. The office area needs a lot of work. That said, the room that we stayed in # 43, was newly renovated head to toe and was completely acceptable. Grace the front desk employee, was very pleasant and showed us a couple of rooms to chose from so at least several rooms have been renovated. Ask for one of them and you'll get your money,'s worth. Better rooms than near by motels.

Motel was in disrepair. No smoking but cigarette smoke smell in our room with cigarette burns in blankets and bed. Smelly bird poop on second floor passage. Tenant/guest must have been evicted from 1 room as their belongings were grouped outside that door for 2 days (chair, clothing, unfinished soda, etc). No plan to return there.

The outside of the facility looked like it needs some work, but not too bad. I rented 4 rooms with 1 person in each room. The check in went smoothly with a very pleasant receptionist and we were in our room within minutes. Upon opening the door to my room, I was so surprised to find a room that looked like it was just totally refurbished. It was spotless clean, and had the look and feel of a room that usually costs 3 to 4 times of what I paid. Everything worked as intended, endless hot water, very comfortable bed, good TV, bright lighting, and an air conditioner that kept the room chilled with the outside temperatures in the mid-80s and extremely high humidity. So bottom line, don’t let the old 60s look on the outside scare you away! It appears like it’s a work in progress and they are doing a great job! Rooms could not have been any better!
