AAA is wrong on this one!
This motel is a throw back to the 50s and 60s; you roadside ma & pa motel--and there is nothing wrong with that. But I think AAA's recommendation is off. The stains on the carpet were awful, thus giving you a sense that the whole place was not clean. The carpet did have hair as well, suggesting that it had not been vacuumed. It was difficult using the toilet in the small bathroom because of the sink being right in front of it. Overall, this should not be a recommended AAA motel, and the $71 price was too much for the place, but I understand their pricing given there are few options in the immediate area of the little town of Ticonderoga. A bit of an upgrade -- get new carpet! -- and remodel the bathroom and it might be worth it.
