On the plus side, the room seemed to be clean. However, it was about a $75 room that cost $200. Very small, and the tiny bathroom was barely adequate, not even a place to put a shave kit. The AC cycled on & off every 30 seconds. The staff could barely speak english. The "Continental breakfast" was to start at 630, at 645 nothing available. Then it was a muffin & coffee! Will not be back, especially at that price!

Where do I start. Well let’s start with the Expedia advertisement that suggests that this motel allows dogs. Well we arrived to check in and see a sign that says they don’t. Luckily we have family in town and we left out dog with them. Secondly, we noticed tons of spider webs at the corners of each ceiling and wall. Killed a couple of bugs as well. The sink began leaking on the last night and the floors are filthy. I dropped some water only to wipe it up and the paper towel was the darkest of black. Front desk staff appeared to be annoyed with questions and asking for extra towels was like I was asking for a $100 bill. Continental breakfast was a shrink wrapped pastry, banana, and apple. Coffee wasn’t what I call coffee. If you asked me, stay anywhere else if you can do it…maybe a tent along route 14. False advertising…allowing dogs when they don’t and filthy room, not to mention a bad odor was enough for us to write it off for any future stay. Maybe the electric air cleaner in the bathroom should had been a clue for us. Wish I could post pictures as I have em. Having been raised in Montour Falls, along with the other reviews I read I was hoping for the best. Not sure where the great reviews came from but might b done by friends and family of owners or those with low standards…$175/night…..hmm, run!

Vintage GP WE Stay

We spent WE enjoying the SVRA Vintage GP WE @ the track and at the downtown GP Festival. The Falls Motel was located “smack dab” between both of these POIs. The room w/ two Queen size beds was perfect. Free ice & a Continental breakfast was the icing on the cake.

Good location if you go to state park. Room was clean but tired looking. My room had very strong smell of mold and the smell didn’t go away. TV didn’t work. Breakfast was pretty minimal - packaged pantries, coffee, some fresh fruit, bottled juice.
