It was so convenient to check in. They send a code for the door, so it was super helpful when I am checking in later in the evening. Parking right outside my door. The room was super cute and nicely warm on a very cold day. The one issue I had was the walls are very thin so I could hear every conversation in the room next door, and was woken up by screaming children.

We stayed at the Little Lion for one night, this past weekend. We actually stayed at this motel years ago, when it was under different ownership. The price was reasonable for the area, as it is in-between seasons. As the website states, this is a contact-free motel, so there is no staff on-site. While this did not bother us, it may be concerning/confusing to some. Email communication prior to our arrival was great. We were sent a text before the 3:00 check-in time, with a code to get into our room. The system seemed to work well, and we had no issues. Our room had a king sized bed, dresser, space to hang a few coats, two chairs to sit on, nightstands, clock, a retro-looking microwave and fridge. There was also a desk with a chair. The bathroom had plenty of towels for a few nights, and refillable soap dispensers on the sink (retro-pink!), and a refillable conditioning/shampoo bottle in the shower. I love this...no plastic waste! I think the 2nd bottle in the shower should have been filled with soap, but it seemed to be conditioner, as it was very oily and did not lather at all. The motel is set back far enough from busy Route 7, that we did not hear any traffic noise. We had quiet neighbors, although the walls are thin and you could hear talking/coughing, etc., from next door. The carpet could use some attention. It appeared dirty in the high traffic area around the bed. Other than that, the room was clean, comfortable, and in a GREAT location! Would recommend!

The retro decor was charming. Having our dog with us was wonderful. Negatives: website says "continental breakfast" - the lobby/office was not opened from when we arrived on Friday until we checked out on Sunday - no staff, no coffee and no coffee makers in the rooms. Also our microwave didn't work.
