I can’t say anything good about this motel. Our room was very dirty and musty, and when we first walked in, we had no electricity. The tub was dirty and had soap scum on it. It had mold on the shower curtain and the ceiling was moldy. There was hair still in the bathtub and on the toilet from previous occupants. We complained about this to the front staff, and instead of trying to give us another room or clean it they threatened to throw us out. There is no vending machine on the property and no ice machines. When we got into bed, our sheets were grainy like there was a bunch of sand in them, but there wasn’t sand. I think that the sheets were just so poor of quality that they were very uncomfortable. The pillows were tiny and flat, and the towels were very worn out and thin. We were depressed every time we had to come back to the room. The maintenance guy that came to fix our electricity and television was polite. That’s the only good thing I can say. The wifi never worked and you can barely get cellular service either. Apparently this is a place where people live and the clientele looked pretty sketchy. To top it off we found out that in May 2026 one of the occupants of the hotel had killed his mother there in one of the rooms and then committed suicide. Do not stay here unless you are desperate I beg you!

Just a quick overnight stay thank heavens.
Bathroom was awful, like hair in tub drain awful. Tiny microwave that didn't work. Just generally run down old place. If you need someplace to sleep for a night, well at least the sheets were clean but that's about the best I could say.

The hotel was definitely a older hotel. It was s beautiful area! The beds were super hard and springy. The bathroom was small! The room was decent but could have really used a DEEP clean. The parking lot was super flooded from the rain. We would stay again as a one night stop. Ok, for the price.

Property outside was nice, staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms.....Had to change rooms due to the bedding having stains and smelled very musty. The replacement room was better. It's a nice place for the price and a short stay. It's definitely dated, well used, could use some attention on the small things; i.e. bedding, trim paint, clean out the freezer in the fridge, proper shower curtains, and some general deep cleaning in the hidden away areas (corners, behind furniture, etc). Also, no in room coffee maker but there were microwaves and fridges. Would I stay there again??? I'd have to check the room first.

Would have been helpful to detail the room set up. The beds were too small for two people so my wife and I slept apart (not the worst thing...) but did make more work for the cleaning staff.
Overall, good experience especially for the rate. Would return.

The room was clean , but very 1970s.

There was a coffee maker in the office, but I had to drive to Dunkins,down the road to ge5 coffee in the morning. A coffee maker in the room would have been nice the refrigerator and microwave were a plus.

The motel was barely adequate. On the plus side, it was inexpensive for the area, the buildings had new windows so they opened easily, and they changed the towels and made the beds every day without having to ask. However, they only provided one hand towel tho two bath towels, and didn't provide any tissues. The wi-fi had no internet access until the last day although reported the second day. The parking lot was in bad shape with a drain in the middle that was blocked off because they had some sort of water issue behind one of the buildings and had a large hose running to the drain. But the BIGGEST issue for us was the animals in the walls. They were in the walls and ceiling of our bathroom and made a racket at night and early in the morning. Although reported to the front desk (which wasn't manned very often), nothing was done. They didn't even offer to move us to another room, although it was obvious that they had many unused rooms.

The check in process was fast and easy. Some constructive criticism follows. When I was handed my key cards, a layout of the hotel rooms with my room number circled could have been included. I found out that the room numbers aren't in numerical order, and the numbers themselves need to be much larger. Inside the room, a card containing the local hotel telephone number and the wifi name and password on the nightstand would be a plus. The hotel is hard to find because the sign is far from the street, so using navigation is strongly suggested. I went without cable TV for the first day because of a quirky cable box, and had no wifi until one of the room attendants helped me out. Other than those concerns, everything else about the room was great.

The first person to check us in was very nice. We were surprised at how dirty our room was- the floors were swept but filthy (turned my son's socks black on the bottom). We did not have enough towels and they would not bring any to us (or even meet me at the office) until a time after we had showered the next morning- so my son had to use a shirt to dry off. The beds were ancient- with one tiny old pillow per person, and springs that you could feel at every turn. We were in town for the jazz fest and dreaded coming back each night. I do not recommend to anyone!

This is a no-frills motel and we were only there for one night, so it served it's purpose. My one complaint is that there was not a coffee pot in the room. There was coffee served in the lobby but the lobby didn't open until 10 a.m. This was very frustrating. On the positive side, I had asked if I could get a room with a tiny freezer in the fridge (for cold packs for cooler). Our room had a dorm fridge with a small freezer above it! This was more than I expected. Also, the front desk staff were very helpful and friendly.

The woman was screaming for help at the top of her lungs. We were waiting for fun shots or cops, when it was mentioned to the management, their response was why didn’t you call the cops? Ummmm NO phone in the room and WIFI and internet SUCKED!!!!! Her response well it’s over now and there’s nothing we can do but move past it. The second stay was great, beds were comfy, but the ice machine was broken….it was much quieter and we enjoyed it.

So, I paid for it and did not stay for one extra night. I was promised daily maid service which did not happen.

Abandoned “hotel” from hell

As soon as I arrived at Harbor Inn I knew I had made a mistake, but it was too late to book anywhere else…

The Harbor Inn sheets are threadbare and the beds have no padding, i slept on top of the comforter and the comforter from the other bed and I could still feel the springs in my back…

The Harbor Inn bathroom has rusty fittings, paint peeling off the walls, light is wired to a very loud noisy fan, tiny towels feel like sandpaper and the water is barely warm enough on full hot…

The entire vinyl floor was COVERED with black dirt, and I had to clean it myself with a towel, there is NO housekeeping - an obese lady brings towels if you can find her…

There is NO coffee anywhere at Harbor Inn (I tried the front desk at 8:45am and the door was still locked), no phone in room, no clock, no hairdryer, two out of order ice machines from the 1950s (filled with leaves) and an empty, out of order vending machine…

The icing on the cake was going to the Harbor Inn front desk and there was no one at reception, so I said “hello” and waited a minute, then said hello again a little louder and waited another minute, and five minutes later the “manager” who looks 10 years old came out yelling at me for being rude?!? I was shocked…

I’ve never seen a worse place (besides horror movies) and I can’t believe that any website has them listed in their database!! I guarantee every good review is a fake autobot. Pathetic excuse for a place to stay…
