Health hazard. The ceiling above the shower in room 105 is collapsing from a water leak above. Covered in mold. There was a box of baking soda in the corner to absorb the smell but of course it wasn't enough. Stains all over the carpet. This place looks like a motel or of a murder movie.

This place is a horror show. It’s a dump. It smells horribly stale. Our room had a massive crusty stain in the middle of it. The door barely opened and then barely closed with all the force I was willing to give it.
We didn’t stay five minutes. Please see the the photos.

My room was very dirty the floors had not been cleaned nor had the walls in some time. Clearly you get what you pay for. However the cleanliness of the room in general was totally unacceptable. I would not bring a family here under any circumstances

My room is spacious and clean. The air conditioning works great. Plenty of hot water with plenty of pressure. Rooms do need some remodeling but there clean. People here are very friendly and responsive. Great location.

Basic hotel/motel with few frills (not needed).
Decent for the price.
Clean room. Bathroom was clean but aged.
Owner was very nice.
Seemingly safe semi-rural area.
Great for passing through.

For my line of work, I stay at many hotels so this will be an honest review.
First off, let me say that Dinesh, the owner is a very respectable and nice man.
Normally, I've stayed at the larger chains of hotels off of I94 but was trying to stay closer to the Barrington area since I was participating in an art show in town. There aren't any other establishments in the area so I decided to give it a try.
Is the hotel dated? Yes, it is. Was my room clean? Yes, it was. Was it safe? Yes, it was. For the most part, everything I needed for the weekend was met. The bed was actually very comfortable and firm.
So if you're looking for Hilton-level quality, clearly this hotel is not for you. But if you need a clean and safe place to stay, this fits the bill (especially for the price).
Dinesh (owner) said he had acquired this hotel in the last couple of years trying to upgrade/update this hotel during pandemic times which is difficult. It will take a bit of money to get this hotel updated.
The current photos of the lobby/entrance to the hotel are old. There is construction in progress so you need to enter down either side of the hotel (one being Exmoor Ave) right next to the Blue Huron Cafe.
He did say he plans to have the construction done very soon (opening the lobby area back up). Check-in is currently room 109 (with the Christmas lights).
The main quirk was the bathroom lights being on a motion sensor which would shut off during a shower requiring a waving of the hands to get them to turn back on. I did recommend going to traditional switches.
So overall, my stay was pleasant and would stay here again if were in the area. Again, Dinesh is a very honest and hard working man whom I know over time will get this hotel up to better standards for most.
Thank you for your efforts to ensure my stay was comfortable!

Old hotel but clean rooms and great staff service...they aim to please. Ice machine broken but they will bring you ice. Price is right...call the desk. Resturant right next door...friendly local place..basic food ...great bar and service..the Blue Heron.
