The Sussex Motel is one of those simple 1960's era motels that are fast disappearing. You know the type: drive up and park right in front of your door, you have an old fashioned metal key, the room is spacious enough to sleep 12, if you had to. But, the place has been modernized -- and nicely at that. It's clean, everything works, the water pressure is forceful and the staff is delightful. One thing, though: there is no one manning a front desk, so you must have a cell phone to check in. You call the number posted on the office door, and the charming young lady who runs the motel comes out, greets you, hands you that old fashioned key and gives you the run-down on all the sites and eateries and taverns within a 5-mile radius of the motel. Couldn't ask for better than that! Very good, all around.

this motel is very convenient and affordable. not a fancy place, and a bit dated in style, but it had very comfortable beds, decent towels and toiletries, and a better fridge than most hotels. Bagel Tree is an excellent breakfast option in a shopping center that is directly next door...probably a quarter mile walk if you wanted to do that. We stayed two nights. For the price it is a great value.

Clean room, great staff

Jackie was amazing! Check in was super fast and easy, and the room was immaculate. My only negative was my room smelled so bad of old cigarette smoke and my 12 year old didn’t feel well after the first night. The smell was super strong.

Beware 😬

Our stay at the Sussex Motel was horrific. I fell in their slippery bathtub shower. There was no ventilation and became steamed up in minutes as I fainted and fell due to no ventilation. The bathtub shower was very old and slippery. The hotel smelled of cigarettes and weed. It shows very nice in their photos but not really especially the outside 😬

I never checked in. The exterior of the facility was in poor condition and had a general creepy feal about. It looked like low class housing with the residents mulling about outside. Very courteous person on the phone when I contacted them requesting to not stay. It was too late to cancel (4 PM) so I ate the charges and continued on my way.

The picture that Expedia shows of the motel is NOTHING like it actually is. The parking lot is a mess, nothing but pot holes. Pulling in it looked like a homeless shelter and I wish I could have turned around and driven away. You can believe I stripped the bed and check for bugs. The water in the tub ran constantly, the rug on the stairs was disgusting, looked like it had not seen a vacuum in a LONG time. I usually bring my own pillow, wish I had this time, "My Pillow" does not cut it. For the price I paid, NO WAY would I recommend Expedia, you really should VET the places you list and rate them accordingly or not list them at all, in this case.

Worth the money -- I will stay here again

The hotel was generally good. It's a bit rough on the outside, but the inside was pleasant and well-cared for. The only complaint I have is a minor one -- the hot- and-cold-water faucets were reversed in my room, with hot on the right and cold on the left, at both the sink and the shower. (I stayed in Room 23.)
