Granby Motel — Hotel in Granby

I booked a room here as an overnight point between the Berkshires and NYC. This property is located near the Massachusetts "pocket" - an area of the state that dips below the usual border with Connecticut. The area has nice roads to explore "quintessential New England" although there isn't much to do except maybe Six Flags, which is about 15 miles from the property.||||This motel is super sketchy. The owner is a very pleasant gentleman; however, calling the room I was given substandard would perhaps count as my act of kindness for today.||||The rooms here are dark and have not been renovated since the 60s. The motel advertises itself as nonsmoking but there were two huge ashtrays on a coffee table and a STRONG smell of cigarette smoke in the room. There was a glue trap in the middle of the bathroom floor - no attempt to hide it anywhere like behind the toilet. There was also an old couch that had been covered with a zebra print fleece blanket. A full kitchen felt cramped and seemed like a place where people make crystal meth and not a nice dinner. The air conditioner did not work in July.||||The kickers were the cigarette smoke, air conditioner, and the safety issues. I was a single woman traveling alone and was given a room that was nearly the farthest away from the office in a stretch of rooms angled out of view of the office and the road. More importantly, the "locks" to the doors for rooms in this motel are not deadbolts. They are flimsy bedroom door style locks only.||||I explained to the motel owner that I could not stay because of the cigarette smoke and locks. He said that he had to do a last minute room change because another guest clogged his toilet. So, you decided to give him a decent room (assuming this property has any, and there's no reason to assume that, trust me) and me the terrible one? Also, I arrived at around 5 PM, so it's not like there was nothing decent left because I arrived in the middle of the night. The owner offered to go into the room and spray something to cover up the cigarette smoke smell. I said no thanks and was given a full refund.||||I wouldn't waste my time with this property unless you can deal with the...

This place was probably built in the 1940's. It has pine panelling, for example. A South Asian family bought it probably 15 years ago, emphasized by the curry scent wafting through the office. It is kept up probably about the way a motel in South Asia would be kept up, or a little better. Check the sheets for cleanliness, check for soap, and shampoo, and towels. They don't always abide by the posted prices on the Internet, and they may not understand your questions about anything other than the most routine issues. The lock is in the door handle- there are no deadbolts. There are 2 breakfast/lunch restaurants within walking distance, and it's about 3 miles north of the center of town. There is WiFi. The cable TV is a little hard to access, no problem for me as I don't watch TV. If you need to put a visiting relative up for the night, nearby, or, say, you're on a bicycle tour, it's ok for that. Travelodge near the airport is cheaper, but farther...

READ please . So the people are nice here an the place was quite on a Friday . But the place is the worst place cosmetically I have ever stayed . As soon as I open the door it had a very strong smell bad . I was to tired to drive to a different place . So the sheets are in bad condition the rug is bad .

Sorry but this is the...
