No ice and snow clearance

paint peeling off the walls in the shower, severely outdated. The thing that stood out the most was that they didn't clear the walkways or driveway of snow which turned to ice. If you were in a wheelchair, the ramp was covered in ice so good luck getting into the office let alone the room. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The only decent thing was the price which is a bit much considering the condition of the property. I see a liability suit in the future for this facility.

Lovely hidden gem

Wonderful lad running the place. I came at the worst time, after the hurricane, no wifi, no cell service, no way for him to know for sure our card would work other than our word. Lovely small town inn, nothing special, but everything is very thoughtful. Homey feel.

Nothing Great

We booked the place for two nights purely based on good reviews, but unfortunately we had a different experience. Beds in the room we were in were old and extremely uncomfortable (sagged in the middle). Other furniture were old and falling apart s well. The bathroom was tiny and had barely any space to move around. Hot water flow was intermittent. Fortunately it was quite warm outside and cold showers were bearable. The shower cabin didn't have soap. The front desk person gave a used bottle of body wash (probably his personal one) for use. Historic or not, considering the relatively high room rate charged, we were hoping at least basic comforts were properly in place. We were not pleased.

The owner was friendly and gave dining suggestions for the area. The motel is old and deteriorating. The room had a musty moldy odor. The carpet was beyond worn out. The bathroom tile was broken and falling off. The grout was stained brown. In 4 days we never got clean towels. There was no body wash, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower. They never replenished cups or coffee. The bed was very stiff and creaked loudly when you turned over. The blinds were bent and damaged and the window air conditioner was filthy. They had a recliner in the room, but we didnt sit on it because of the stains others had left. Ourside the room there was old unwanted furnituture and exercize equipment in the parking space. We feel certain that if the health department inspected this place it would not pass inspection. though it was inexpensi e, I would NOT recommend staying here.

I didn't like the termite infested door jamb, tiny AND AN EXPEDIA AP THATS NOT SO HARD TO USE!!!!AC., sink next to bd0''s of termite put a lot of work

We'd previously stayed at Phillip's Historic Motel and Cottages when Ms. Jordan owned it. It was always clean, neat and tidy and she was always a delight to deal with. The motel is under new management now and is considerably run down. I took a cold shower on Saturday morning because there was no hot water, there was an old, discolored bath mat that looked like it had been used for years, and there were exposed wires in the overhead ceiling light. The TV didn't work and the owner's attitude towards us was nice one moment and then the next moment we seemed to be an inconvenience. At 10pm, when the owner and his girlfriend were sitting outside watching fireworks, I asked to use the dryer for 10 minutes. He rudely said, "You want to use the dryer in the middle of the night?" I didn't consider 10pm the middle of the night, especially when he and his girlfriend were clearly up and sitting outside. This will be our last time staying at Phillip's Motel. It certainly wasn't worth what we paid. We could have paid $20 more/night and stayed at a well recognized hotel chain a couple of miles away. We stayed there for old time's sake. We won't make that mistake again and we're disappointed to see the motel has become as run down as it has.
