Second time staying at The Rose!
Stayed for the weekend.
Room was clean, bed was comfy! My room had a kitchenette and all appliances worked well (stove, oven, coffee maker, fridge, AC....)
The shower worked ok with plenty of hot water.
The TV had plenty of channels to choose from!
Overall I'd say a nice plain nothing fancy clean place to relax!

Our place had a living room/bedroom, a full bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. The shower was small, but acceptable. It had the old motorway feel from movies. It was quiet, clean and comfortable,with room to stretch out, cook, easy parking. Very low key and relaxing. Pool area, outdoor picnic facilities, I do recommend this place.

Stayed at the Rose Resort this past weekend, and was pleasantly surprised. Compared to the pictures they have done some updates to the place The room was clean and very comfortable. I got to enjoy walking the lush greenery around the property and even found a pond. :) They also have a pool. I didn't get to take a swim because I forgot my bathing suit, but I did dip my legs in with my shorts which was much appreciated on such a hot day. It was a great stay. I will be sure to go back.

Great location and convenient to town & the Water Park. Cozy, clean and attractive space with longterm and short-term reservation options.

I had the chance to meet the owner. He was very attentive and engaging with guests. I highly recommend.

We enjoyed staying at the Rose Motel and will be back. Great service and location. Room was just what we needed. We frequent East Durham for the Irish festival and Gavinstock Festival . Free parking and right off the highway.

Have stayed here before
When Mary & Bruno where the oweners new oweners an of May 2018

Have been going to the Rose Motel for the past 5 years with my wife and sons
But this year we found that the place was not as clean as in the past and the new oweners where on site but never came over to introduce them self or just to say hello how are things

Also met familys that have been going up thair for many years with the same fealings about the new oweners and how un clean the place was

Not the way to run a business

We will give a second chance next summer but we are hoping for the place to be cleaner

Making a yearly pilgrimage to Oak Hills NY (just above East Durham) for a family pig roast is the reason why I stay at “The Rose Motel”.
Reminiscent of roadside motels of old along Route 66, It always provides a clean, quiet and friendly place to lay your head.
It’s not fancy, it’s not 5 star, but when you’re this far up in New York State, being inside is not why you’re around.
I’ve been to many similar places not far from this location, and I can assure you, this is the best for the money.

In the past we've often stayed here since it's close to "home" . . Apparently it's now a "Resort and Event Center" lol. I guess changing the name comes with a hefty price hike. $145 a night ! We're talking a motel in EAST DURHAM NY on a mid week stay the 1st week in February. They might consider " half a loaf is better than none". We instead stayed at a similar motel in Cairo for $65 LESS per nite. Your loss Rose Motel. NEVER again.

Decent place to stay. Stayed here the weekend of Catskill Mountain Thunder Festival, September 2019.

The room was clean as were the sheets. Bathroom was adequate and the shower had plenty of hot water.

Erica at the front desk was nice and very helpful.

Overall, a decent place to stay if you are not looking for anything fancy of expensive.

This nice, clean hotel offers a reliable visit each time we've stayed. Because it is one of the best places to stay they do fill up early. We stayed in August and waited a little too long and so the room available was not as large as we usually book for our three adults. Travelers tip: Book as early as practical and ask which room options are available.
