We selected this property because they were dog friendly and I liked the motel concept with individual room doors opening to the outside. The rooms are dated but very clean with fresh linens and towels. The motel management were very nice and very receptive to our dog. The coffee was ready at 7am with some packaged muffins and I thought... More

My husband and I needed a get-away and this place did the trick nicely! Very friendly staff with a huge funky dog and probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at! We did some hiking at the State Park (beautiful!) and visited Glenora Winery which is a 5 min drive down the road. The room was not fancy by any... More

I found this motel via AAA triptik and was very pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious (as was the bathroom) and VERY quiet. In fact, out of several of the motels I used on my vacation through NY, this was one of the better ones! I would recommend this motel to anyone looking for a nice room for a... More

We have been going to this hotel for several years usually in September or October and always during the week. In the last few years it has gone through several hotel keepers. My husband had called in August to book the same room that we had always stayed in and he calls it our "Honeymoon Suite" and was told that... More

We stayed here in 1977 and my sister left her stuffed turtle music box behind. We called them a couple of days later when we realized where it was and they sent it to us right away. My niece now has the turtle and I still remember their decency in sending to her.

We stayed here for a weekend of wine tasting and relaxation and what a great experience! The Chieftain is a simple and exceptionally clean motel. It is definitely not a state of the art facility, which was fine with us. The inn keeper was super friendly and helpful - her dogs were also a great addition to our stay, as... More

My sister and I stayed at the Chieftain for our brother's wedding. It is a sweet motel setting with clean rooms and great management. Judy is the manager and she went out of her way to make sure that our stay was wonderful. We highly recommend Judy and the Chieftain Motel
