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!
