My husband and I , along with my sister and her husband, attended a wedding in Ipswich and made reservations to stay one night at Arbor Inn. Our stay was quite a disappointment. The price for our room was $139 for a king-size bed and my sister had a room with two. queen size beds for $169. My room was... More

We had a short stay for a wedding in Newburyport. The hotels near Boston were all exceptionally expensive. We looked online for something less commercial and more affordable. This quaint 9 room motel was excellent for the price. Good beds, very quiet and the couple who own it were helpful. The drain got stuck and the owner came while we... More

I arrived late in the evening and was traveling alone. The owner was very gracious and even carried my bag up the stairs. Everything was spotless and the bed was quite comfortable. The road not was not evident and I would definitely stay again if I am in the area.

We stayed for 4 days. The bathroom was not cleaned the entire stay nor was the sink which was located outside the shower/toilet area. The Tub did not drain. We had to stand in the water while showering. It drained after the shower in about 10 min. One day we did not get a shower mat for the floor or... More

We stayed in room 4, having stumbled across the place without checking TA. We wouln't have stopped had we checked, but our room was very nice, new carpeting, nicely decorated, no mars on walls or woodwork. Based on other reviews, this room must have been reworked. Nice place, $134 is reasonable for the area. Walls are a bit thin but... More

We recently stayed at this hotel. On first entering the room it was impressive as far as size and layout. However after staying for a couple of nights it became obvious that the cleaners were less than thorough. Following is a list of issues as far as cleanliness. Cob webs and bugs, coffee pot was dirty, toilet was dirty, refrigerator... More

I have to admit, after reading the reviews on trip advisor, I was afraid to stay here. Luckily, it was not nearly as bad as the reviews led me to fear. The room was your typical no frills motel room, with a fridge and a sink outside the bathroom. The ac worked great. The room seemed clean and the beds... More

While the Arbor Inn Motel looks nice from the outside, the inside was dirty and disappointing. The carpets were stained and grubby; they felt terrible so I wore my flip flops inside (which Canadians don't do). The comforters on the beds were paper thin, the furniture was cheap, the toilet paper holder was missing from the bathroom so the toilet... More

I made a reservation for the next night and guaranteed it with a credit card. I even arranged an early check-in as I... More

The good news: The staff at Arbor Inn was accommodating and helpful. Our room was clean, and the location was perfect for a visit to Crane Beach. The not-so-good news: If you like to sleep in the dark, this is not the place for you. In our room, inexpensive window treatments didn't totally cover the windows and are NOT room... More
