good location to travel from, but limited services on property, lobby lounge closed, but convenience store next door had good coffee and some options for quick take and go breakfast

6/10 Good

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.

Never stay here
Ajay, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.
Diane, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.
Angela, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is a really really rough area.

DISGUSTING
This place is disgusting. We checked in, room on the second floor at the very end. We walked into a humid, 76 degree room; walks were cracked and paint peeling. The door to enter didn't even meet the floor threshold leaving a gap and a breeze coming through. There were stains on the blanket of the bed, hair on he pillow, dust on the furniture pieces. I opened the bathroom door to find the tile in the bathroom cracking and black underneath, the countertops to the sink were not clean, and the top of the toilet eve was not wiped off. We didn't even bother to complain or request a refund. We immediately took the room key back to the desk and left. I DO NOT recommend. How this place passes any kind of inspection or code is baffling.
Kaitlynn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Please don’t stay there even for free
artem, 1-night trip

The conditions were atrocious and the staff was rude and not helpful at all.
Davey, 13-night trip

2/10 Poor

People are rude and the place had bugs which made me uncomfortable.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was heavily lived in. More of a low rent apartment. Sheets, towels, all stained. Still had last persons hand towel in the shower. Every wall had marks/ damages. Not worth $200 plus per night. Would expect for $60 a night
Richard, 2-night trip

Ok
Milton, 1-night trip

Room smells like cigarettes smoke
Kenneth, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The bathroom was dirty, towels had hair on them. Bugs in the shower. Smells like weed in the room.
Tyrone, 1-night trip

This place is a dump. The staff is unpleasant and they don’t allow anything including sitting in the lobby.
James, 1-night trip

Get Away from the Getaway Hotel
“Getaway is really two words. Get AWAY. Room 1 reeked of weed. The smoke alarm was screaming to change its batteries and then fell off the wall hanging on by a lone wire dangling like a bungee jumper in distress. The heater was loud and sounded like a transmission without oil. Room 2. Smelled better, better alarm , heater still growled and the tv remote didn’t work the TV. this is your last resort motel if you need a place to sleep after the Nassau Colliseum. my god it was bad.
Peter, 1-night trip

Very old beds I lots of noise came out from bed Baths need works Room needs love
Nicolas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I wasn't expecting anything great but the location was so convenient for where I needed to be the following day. Check-in was smooth. It wasn't too busy (perhaps because it was a Sunday night); I didn't hear any noise outside while in my room. My only gripe is that normally I can take the smell of smoke, but it was pretty strong, as if it wasn't aired out once in a while.
