Older motel, still has old school keys. Very clean, nicely appointed rooms. Lots of drawer space, excellent shower. Comfortable beds. Reasonable pricing  parking is kind of cramped. Don't know what else to say. Just trying to get to two hundred minimum characters. 

Very nice 

We stayed because we were attending a paranormal conference at Haldeman mansion in Bainbridge. It's a great family Run Hotel. The buildings are dated but well kept up. The rooms are very clean and neat. Unfortunately some other guests that are not as appreciative have damaged some of the walls and other fixtures. However, the rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable, and it's a very welcoming property. We were happy to find a lot of power outlets and the TV was a 40 inch or better LCD or LED HDTV flat-screen!
Note to management:
I would recommend that you have your maintenance staff redo the silicone in the bathrooms. I noticed that the silicone was at least over five years old. There are places where the silicone is pulling back from the edge of the tub. This can cause problems in the future. It's a very cheap fix. I mentioned this to your front desk staff and they were very happy to take my advice and pass it on. You have great staff!

Great family run spot!

I very rarely give 5 stars to anything.  It seems weird to give it to this motel, but you must absolutely be aware of what you're getting and paying for, sand then yes, 5 stars apply.

We booked this hotel rather last-minute for 2 nights over Labor Day weekend.  We had other hotels reserved that would have cost between $500 and $400 for 2 nights, but we cancelled them when we got the Red Rose reservation at about $87 a night.

This is a bargain, no-frills motel.  No pool or breakfast, no lobby or sitting area, etc.  The room was dated and worn, but clean.  The bed was comfortable, there were two chairs and a table, 2 beds, TV, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.  Oh yeah, and a fly swatter.

The walls were thin and we easily heard the kids next door to us, but luckily they were young and bedtime came early.  We spoke with our neighbors when they went out for a cigarette and they seemed like a pleasant family.  Sitting outside your room with the provided lawn chairs was enjoyable.

We saw rabbits just about every day.  And honestly, the biggest reason I booked it after the price was that you can walk through a fence to get to Burger King.

I was a bit nervous, but in the end I decided I would return to this motel.  It's not a 5-star place, maybe not even a 3-star place.  But, if you're not a lodging snob it can be an entertaining and affordable spot.

The room did smell a bit, and our bed was made pretty hap-hazardly the next day, but again, it's about what I would expect for the price.  My wife, kids, and I had no complaints when leaving.

A good place to save some cash

We just stayed one night. The room was very clean and in good condition and well lit. The room and bathroom are small. Room included a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were reasonably comfortable with a choice of pillows. Nice towels for a budget place. Bedding was average. It was very quiet. The motel had no vacancy, but I never heard neighbors or cars coming and going. 

Late night check-in was not great. Reservation indicated arrival by 11 PM. At 10 PM the office was locked and we had to call for assistance. Then the transaction was through a little slot in the window. We also forgot to ask for the wifi password. I felt a little bad about not arriving earlier.

There are certainly more upscale options in the area, but this is a good place for people who mostly need a clean bed and shower.  Will stay again.

Clean and basic

Very clean and comfortable.  Quiet!   Hardly a sound all night except the airconditioner turning on and off. Only complain....I like my coffee.  No coffee make in the roo, but just a short walk to Burger King.

Nice lace to spend the night

I made my reservation in advance. Red Rose Motel has its own website, but it was impossible to reach them by telephone or by any other means.  I was forced to make my reservation, and to pre-pay, through a third party.  On their website they posted a phone number, but that number did not work. I tried it repeatedly and kept getting a message telling me to hang up and call something like 611.  So it was impossible to find out in advance whether they had a microwave, etc. It turned out they did have a microwave and also, I think, a refrigerator, but I didn't know until I had paid and arrived.

Elizabethtown is a real town, with square streets and old buildings.  But the motel is outside Elizabethtown, in a suburb called Rheems.  Rheems is not friendly to pedestrians.

My room looked like a retired brothel.  The tub-shower was fire engine red, exactly like the bathroom in the movie "The Shining." Next to my bed, the entire wall was a mirror!

The place seems to be completely legit now; I saw no foot traffic in the area and no men slowing their vehicles.

The manager was nice, but he wasn't using his head.  They had lots of vacancies, but he assigned me a room a few feet from a double dumpster.  Thus if I opened my door, I smelt rotten trash.  And my room had at least one housefly buzzing around inside.

The room had table space and two chairs.  But both chairs were worn out. That is, when I sat in them, I sank so low that I could not comfortably work or eat at the table.  One of the chairs had once been a rotating office chair, where you can raise and lower the seat, but this feature no longer worked. I asked the manager if it was possible to raise the seat on it and he said no.  I asked if there was any chair that was higher and he said no.  But he said it nicely.

The Shining

We stayed here one night. The room had a king size bed (very comfortable) but it made it very hard to walk around the end of the bed to the bathroom. There was not much room between the bed and the mini fridge in the corner. The bathroom was also very small. The pillows were more like half pillows and were quite uncomfortable.

The room was very clean and the staff was pleasant upon check in and check out.

Walls are very thin, so we listened to a neighbor's snores all night.


Older, small motel

But one night is enough. Our boxcar was quaint and the idea is sweet but it is quite run down. We had to clean the air filter in our AC unit because it was so dirty you could smell the bad air.

The restaurant is sweet and the staff was very friendly. I don’t think the group A is for Amish that run the buggy rides are actually Amish. Not 100% certain so do your homework.

It was funny to say we stayed in a box car but I’ll never do it again.

Cute for kids

Was warned by friends and family before coming down from Canada for sons wedding.
 Was told to expensive for what you get. 
 I arrive at 6 pm as i said i would. They have my CC on hold for the room. I go to check in and told i had to pre pay my room up front.
 Had to bounce money around to cover but finally got it sorted. 175 for 2 nights. Converted from Canadian $224 or so.
 I go in and immediately get  hit with mould smell and old old cigarette smoke.
I prop open the door and run the AC unit to move air around.
Shower  roof had black spots growing out of it
 The bed is a stone. I swear to all that is holy under the sheets they must have hidden a slab of stone. In all my years of traveling i never laid on a bed that had ABSOLUTELY no give.  Both nights i woke up multiple times in pain in my back and shoulders. me and Tylenol became good friends.
 WIFI worked well and the AC unit was a treat.. good and cold.
Location is good for overnight as there is a burger king next door.. Sal's Italian restaurant across the street ( which was delicious) and a turkey hill for cold drinks and snacks.
It was my last choice as everything was booked in that area. 
 I cant recommend it due to the obvious mould and stink and beds.
Next time ill sleep in the SUV and shower at a truck stop.
