We stayed 1 night in a 2 double bed room. The room was a nice large size. The beds & pillows were pretty comfy. The room & bathroom were very clean. Had basic supplies like coffee & pods. Plenty of towels. The office people were very nice. There’s a great area behind the Inn to walk our dogs & throw the ball. We got bbq from across the street & the dollar general was next door as well. It was nicely lit at night & we felt safe. Only wish the room had a microwave & safe. The road it’s on is busy but didn’t keep us up at night. We’d definitely stay here again.

I was treated so well by the friendly staff at the Blue Spruce last night and picked up a great idea for bathroom tile (see photo). The room was clean, furnished w what appeared to be local antiques, and on the ground floor (my request). Also, easy thermostat and lots of places to plug in my electronics... and an awesome desk light and a Keurig! Very convenient to Chatham and an easy drive to ALB airport!

Solid, but basic sleeping quarters. Family in area, this is our preferred location when visiting. Shower a bit like needles - took forever to get shampoo out of my (short) hair (normal low flow showers, I guess - I'm in there there three longer trying to get soap off, so not sure the benefit. :-) I liked bed, she didn't care for it (sheets rough, pillows flat). No TV program list (but lots of channels, list in Guest Info Guide). Good fridge, microwave, table, chairs, lots of outlets. Dog friendly, easy to walk, lots of grass. Great night sky (in back). We miss the coffee shop used to be here, great coffee and pancakes, love to see it come back!

It is a budget motel and as such rates pretty well. I am only speaking for room 22. It has been recently remodeled. Spacious and clean. Good bed linens and big nice towels. Large bathroom. Hot shower. Good value. The office is still in the 1950's. Checked in late and had to bang around to get the desk clerk. No breakfast (family issues we were told). No coffee till 9am. Would stay again if ever back up this way.

We stayed in this inn due to it’s location to several national sites we wanted to visit on our trip to the Catskills. It was easy check in/check out, very clean, and comfortable

Simple yes, but other words like uncomplicated, quiet, familiar... are fitting. The proprietor is kind, respectful, and authentic. The rooms are clean and well appointed, unfettered by gadgets, by soul starved technological "advancements", and chrome, granite, and black laquer that has transformed an overnight stay into the slick, sleek promotion of a shallow, one dimensional "new construction" cultural decline. I felt safe. I slept soundly. The bathtub was spacious. The bed linens were crisp and comfortable. The water was hot. When I awoke I wanted to stay another night. But couldn't.

Clean feel once I walked in. Comfortable bed and bathroom was pretty nice. Furniture was a little outdated but a/c worked great. This was non smoking. Smoking room i had an odor which was expected but still clean. For the price I couldnt complain and plenty of stuff around for food and shopping

Had a reservation for 1 night. We were meeting family and attending a local wedding.
Pros...Very courteous man at desk. Motel is aged but the suite we visited was clean and spacious.
We decided last minute to cancel because
Cons...Pool was not open and coffee shop is permanently closed.
Since we were able to make other arrangements, we asked at desk to cancel with no charge. We were immediately accommodated no questions asked.
