Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed here for one night on our way south and had a pleasant experience. Our room was clean. quiet and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again. They are centrally located for things to do such as the steam train in Essex. You can see my separate review of that on Trip Advisor as well.

A friend of mine was having a wedding in CT and my boyfriend and I needed a place to stay for the night. A friend of mine found this place and told us they were going to stay there so we decided to stay at this inn as well. The location was super close to the exit off the I-95 and just as close to the place of the wedding. The room was clean and comfortable and the owner was very nice and helpful. The shower was a bit small but it got the job done. Would come back again if I needed an affordable and clean place for the night.

My fiance and i were looking for a small and quiet place to spend a much needed weekend away and found the Heritage Motor Inn on line. Their website describes their Inn as a "family run (business) for over 40 years and boasts a quiet, quaint, non-commercial atmosphere." As it sounded like just the place for us, we made reservations, arrived on a Friday evening, and were absolutely not disappointed, from the moment we arrived until we left two days later. Our room was clean, comfortable, and simply decorated, The owners were welcoming, and always available to offer suggestions about the area. If you are looking for simplicity and relaxation, the Heritage Motor Inn is the place to go.

Read reviews, checked website and called. Some strange reviews seemed contradictory so I called and asked questions. A pleasant, knowledgeable american woman answered the phone on the 2 occasions we called. She told me about how the place was a smaller non commercial establishment (family run), on Rt. 1, No smoking in rooms, no pets, no long term residents, etc. ( full disclosure no supprises or false expectations - how refreshing). pricing was very reasonable, we were able to park literally right outside of our rooms which was good since my father has a large breathing machine to tote around. Rooms were clean, we didn't find any ants as you would on Cape Cod. We had a restfull comfortable stay and our hosts were able to answer questions about the area, give directions and recommendations. They saved the day for us the day of our cousin's wedding as they found out there was a parade on Main Street where the church was and gave us an ETA with traffic, alternate routes and parking. We were punctual while many other were not! Only one thing, there is a sign out front that says American owned and operated, I myself was not offended, I am not one to question anothers pride. We would go back given the opportunity.

The owners and staff are fabulous: really friendly and helpful. The room and bath were very clean, and quiet. However, we had lots of big, black ants in our bathroom. Also, the swimming pool was dirty inside, as well as the outdoor carpeting surrounding it. It is located on a main highway, a convenient but unattractive location. The prices were very fair.

The room was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. That said there is very little to commend this place. We experienced none of the friendliness mentioned in other reviews.It is very expensive and requires payment as you arrive. Noticing that it offered AAA discount I asked for it before departing. I was told, in a friendly manner "that I should have asked for it when booking",that " they didn't give it during holiday weekends" and " the price was below that posted in the AAA book'- take your pick. The room has a phone which doesn't accept incoming calls. Do not use it . The tariff we were quoted for a call within the US was truly exorbitant. I've paid less in five star establishments.The breakfast served in a hut like office was mediocre, and the spacious patio was cramped. At $150 this was very expensive never to be repeated experience. Go to the nearby chain hotel. In comparison it has to be good value and more friendly

my husband and I stayed here one night; an ok place, clean. But, if you want to check in a little early and also a place to wait around (for friends, just to get out of your room, etc), you are out of luck. This is really very basic motel, without any public waiting room except outdoors. I guess it's reasonable price for this expensive town with nothing much to do though. This town really is for rich retirees who want to stroll around the beach - mostly private beaches where a tourist (like me & my husband) cannot even visit the lighthouse, because it is located inside a private area which is restricted to certain private 'members only'. Not the best vacation spot, but a good idea why someone rich & famous like Kathryn Hepburn decided to retire here.

Talk about being made to feel welcome! The mother, daughter and son-in-law that run the Heritage take great pride in their establishment and are extremely accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable, there was alway fresh fruit at the continental breakfast. The main house is a historic building and it and the 12 units are within walking distance of a deli and pizza place. By far the best feature is the staff. Children under 12 are not allowed so it made for a very peaceful vacation.

Friendly family owned small establishment with pool in backyard setting. Very accomodating and available with great suggestions for restaurant suggestions, antiquing, and shopping. Always on site. Clean home type atmosphere. This is the second time in three years we spent the weekend with friends. Will go back again. Easy to make reservations. No concern regarding confirmation status - accurate with reservation information given. all units on ground floor with outside entrance.
