Sentinel Motel

Horace Lyons

We chose this motel because our stay was during the peak season for proms/ weddings and we were not willing to pay $250 a night at our usual Hampton Inn & Suites. You get what you pay for in this case so we're not trying to be overly picky. We just want to give you a fair and honest view of what to expect. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They did charge us an extra $20 early check-in fee for being 30 minutes early. True, we chose to pay it but obviously it was ready so....The room was dirty enough that we needed to wipe down everything so don't expect it to be very clean. Furniture/decor was a bit dated and definitely could use a renovation. There was literally a totally exposed flat wire hanging from the ceiling in the bathroom (we took a king, one of the best rooms they have to offer). Paper thin walls, so of course we had to hear the people next door at 4 am. No iron. Did have a mini fridge and a microwave. Very low water pressure and the water doesn't get too hot either. Got a sheet and a top cover on the bed to sleep under. All that being said, it has one of the best locations for everything you could want in the greater West Chester area so if you don't really care about the amenities and just want a cheap motel it will do fine. It sits back a good bit from the road so if you're being discreet you should be fine.

I didn't even want to give 1 star , this place has evil owners and the front desk help and persons working are horrible to the person's trying to rent and stay comfortable they also keep your mail and over charge , I had help from the state to stay here and have been treated very very poorly, they have rats , and bugs of all sorts , the beds are definitely very cheaply made and uncomfortable if it wasn't for the situation I was in I would not of stayed and had saved money on a clean place with nice workers and manager.

Positive: I was able to park close to my room. Negative: The soda vending machine was sold out of all drinks. There wasn't a radio in the room.

Stayed a week. Paid $420. Room 19. Old furniture. No cover for the bed. Only a sheet and a top cover that was thin. Had to use the heater in the ac unit. Was still chilly in the room. Big bed. Was comfortable. Old 70's decor. New tiled shower was nice. No bathtub. Security is very heavy there. Run by a family from India. They seemed nice. The gentleman that runs the place told me his outside monitors are above his TV so he sees everything going on outside and if something seems off, or shady he addresses it right away. At least u know ur safe from anything dangerous or shady. They need to put a light out near their entrance. It's dark to see at night and it's just a tiny little road that goes up a hill where the motel is at. I didn't really see any transients there. If there was they keep quiet and stay in their rooms. There's no loitering, the manager addresses that. Looks like they were upgrading when I was there. Installing new carpets and new cable boxes in all the rooms. I hope they upgrade the furniture. There was a microwave that worked and also 2 small mini fridges that didn't work and was dirty and moldy inside. Rust on the metal in the bathroom. This could be such a cozy place if they upgrade and remade the rooms. They were also cutting down and trimming alot if their trees infront of the rooms. The noise of the chainsaws was annoying while I tried to sleep. It was all day long till it got dark out. So I just stayed gone all day. All in all, was kinda quiet but comfortable. Felt safe cause I know the manager watches everything going on outside 24/7. Big clean bed but the rooms definitely need to be updated and once they finish chopping their trees down it'll be more quiet. So atm there's no sleeping during the day till they are finished that. The walls in the room are very thin. I could here the couple staying next to me just speaking normally. I had a couple friends coming over to chill and my brother stopped by with a pizza and the manager questioned me about that so I do feel he's a little paranoid and suspicious but I can't blame him. He's probably had to chase alot of shady ppl away. No snack machines and I didn't see any soda machines and u have to take ur own trash out around back to their dumpster which was overflowing. Ice machine outside. All room entances are outside. Very clean towels and sheets. I have to ask them for towels and sheets if needed. If u stay a week or more, they clean the rooms twice a week. One has to go to the office and request clean towels and sheets. My room served its purpose but it was really nothing special.
