Great price and nice rooms. Walking distance to gas station with a large assortment of snacks. They actually have rooms for smokers. Would definitely stay there again.

Very clean. Spotless new bathrooms. Granite countertops everywhere which is a nice touch. Working, new, clean microwave ovens and mini-fridges. Flatscreen TVs with cable. Friendly accommodating staff. Slightly ols but well-working heater/AC unit (a bit loud). Slightly old towels, but well washed, and lots of them. Overall, nice well-kept motel. Walking distance to 7-11 and two large plazas with shops and restaurants. Will come again.

I have always loved staying at the New Eastern Inn. They have large rooms at great prices! The location is great! You are walking distance to the Big Elk Mall that has a lot of great stores including a brand new Ollies that will be opening next week. The motel sits right beside a 7 eleven which is very convenient!! There's also a Walgreen's directly beside the motel, so if you forget anything such as your hygiene needs, or medication, no worries. Its a 2 minute walk to get whatever you may need. The rooms are very comfortable! They feature new televisions, refrigerators and microwaves in all rooms. There are both smoking and non smoking rooms available in single or doubles. The rooms are very clean, with great heaters and air conditioners! The motel also offers free WiFi, so it's a great place for those who are away on business and need to use you're laptop. With that being said, they offer rooms with desks for those who have business needs to be taken care of! Next time your in town, or just need a nice motel at a great price to get away, give New Eastern Inn a try! You will definitely enjoy your stay!!!

The room was a good size. Water pressure in shower was awesome. Good room for pretty good price. Have definitely cleaned up their hotel over the years. Only real complaint is I wish check out could have been noon instead of the standard 11am

I have stayed at New Eastern Inn for quite some time now, and it has been a very comfortable, relaxing place to stay. I've stayed at several motels in the past, but this motel has much bigger rooms, very comfortable beds, the heating/ac units are great, but most importantly, the prices are great! You couldn't ask for a better location, everything you need is within walking distance. The management is awesome! They have both smoking and non smoking rooms, single and double, and offer free WiFi, which is really great if you are traveling for business and need to use your laptop!! I highly recommend this motel!!!!
