Poynter's Motel

Cash only. It’s so bad it’s comical. At least bedding is clean. If your eyes are tired from driving all day, it’s one step above sleeping in your car.

This place was a great stop as I was taking Route 13 in rural Delaware. The manager was very nice and ensured that I had a quiet room. The room was clean and had the basic appointments. The TV and cable worked well. I enjoyed catching up on Homeland on Showtime. After a nights rest, I enjoyed the hot shower and kept on my way north. All in all a great quiet spot off 13. Oh and it was great that they had free wi-fi. I used it to catch up on some work without going over my data plan.

I went one time it was very cold had to use my own heat and electricity blanket, and not very cheap for getting there late. They charged us full price, I just needed a place to sleep with my adult son, it had 2 double beds that was the only perk. Not very clean years ago, I used my own blankets. And had to leave without getting extra time in room. They were not very nice. I have not been back , and I don't recommend it at all

From the outside, this place looked less dismal than the other old motels on US 13. That might indeed be the case, but it's a very low bar (see the terrifying Carol Ann just to the north for an idea).|||| The motel is probably from the early '50s, and looks decent from the outside. The rate was acceptable at $40. The first problem was that there are no non-smoking rooms, but our room had only a very faint odor. The carpet was clean, and the furniture was in pretty good shape, but the sheets on the bed were very old, and had hairs in them, as did the tiny scratchy towels. Despite it being very chilly outside, there was no blanket on the bed, just sheets and a duvet. There was only a TV in our room, and one table lamp (no overhead fixture). There were 2 mountings in the old saggy til

Lady owner very nasty but daughter very sweet. Rooms are very dated an not updated and not clean and price is not worth it . u can go up road some and get rooms are cleaner and everything works good. The tv is or looks like a 1980 tv. Dont do it
