Owner has changed... this place is a dump. It has become a long term, low cost lodging. The new owner has done nothing to improve the property. It has become a most undesirable place. Most town people would like to see this eyesore removed.

Arrived after an awful journey to get the most fantastic welcome and service. The guy behind the counter was freindly, helpful, accomodating, even ordered us dinner while we got settled and played barkeep while we ate. Never had better service!

Very outdated, below average cleanliness. Carpet was heavily stained as was the bathroom sink and tub. Fixtures and heating baseboard were rusted. Office is a clue as to what you're getting...cluttered with owner's "stuff". Would never stay here again.

For $300 a week you shouldn't complain, but... 1) The rug is filthy. 2) No screens on the windows. 3 No safety chain on the door. 4) Very dark bathroom, hard to see in shower. 5) It's... More

I ended up here for Halloween because everything near Salem (where I was visiting for non-Halloween reasons) was booked solid. I was pleasantly surprised. Clean, comfortable, basic. What you would expect in this kind of old-timey motel, but nothing to complain about.

I booked a room at this motel for a single night, the last night of the "off season". So the rate was quite reasonable - about $70. I had seen the website, and was not expecting opulent luxury. Their photos are a fair representation of the rooms. In fact, the furnishings in my room were slightly better than those on... More
