    My kids really wanted to go swimming however the pool which is normally heated was freezing cold and dirty and the hot tub was just as cold as the pool. The breakfast was so sad it contained bagels yogurt and apple juice that was it.

    I like the guy who helped me at the front desk. He did everything he could to make sure I got the room I was supposed to have.

    The main complaint I have was the jets in the hot tub didn’t work. The water was nice and warm but no air coming from the jets. The wall socket in between the beds for the lamp had no cover on it. Some of the drawers on the furniture were missing knobs or handles.

    Breakfast was ok. I thought there would be a little more variety in the fruits like bananas and maybe some scrambled eggs and meat. The pictures of the breakfast setup online looked like you may have had that type of thing in the past.

    Very welcoming staff at check-in, very pleasant and eager to answer any questions. Convenient location very close to the Route 101 exit, with a large range of restaurants to choose from for dinner, lunch or breakfast. No thrills, very basic good for 1 night and move onwards to next location.

    Nothing was very bad. It’s not the fanciest place ever but it did the job and was 100% worth it. Definitely would come back.

    The value was great, and it met my expectations. The staff was very friendly as well. I’d stay again.

    Restroom smelled like poo but was clean? There was a hair clip on the lamp from previous guest. So the room was not thoroughly cleaned prior. Main reason for selecting this location was the expected breakfast. Photos do not show actual breakfast. Nothing hot. No milk. Paid a little more compared to other hotels and was very disappointed.

    Beds were comfortable.

    Will never stay at that motel again because of their rude staff

    When checking in, they surprised me with a $100 refundable damage fee. I had my mom's credit card which they took to check in, but refused to take for the $100 fee claiming she had to be there. I called my mom and she still refused. She was willing to strand me in that town for a $100 fee? I had to call friends I was meeting with to pay the $100 fee. Thanks Laurel Inn and Booking.com for embarrassing me on my trip. Booking.com for not advising of such a fee and Laurel Inn for embarrassing me. Will never return.

    Close to my activities while there

    I didn’t like that’s it literally next to a bar.. so many people drinking and not safe people out there for family with children I wouldn’t recommend! We had a guy knocking at our door at night so I personally didn’t like the spot for having children around that hotel and being next to a bar . When we got there we thought it was a restaurant but turns out it was a bar!

    The room was dusty and didn’t smell clean. The bathtub was dirty. The roll out bed was dirty and uncomfortable. We couldn’t change the channel on the tv. Quality of items in the room was poor.
