What guests think

Across many reviews, Ivey's Motor Lodge is praised for very clean, comfortable rooms, friendly and responsive staff, a convenient location near I-95 and the Canadian border, quiet stays, and the useful on-site bistro, making it a reliable road-trip stop.

However, it is an older motel and some rooms and bathrooms feel dated, with occasional issues like musty odors, noisy or weak HVAC, low shower pressure, hard beds, or minor maintenance problems. Breakfast is usually good, but a few guests found it mediocre or the coffee weak; the on-site bistro’s food is well liked though service or atmosphere can be inconsistent. Housekeeping is limited during longer stays and was occasionally missed, and Wi-Fi feedback ranges from great to sketchy. Expect a clean, friendly, no-frills stay with handy dining and easy access.

This is a lovely hotel. I love all the renovations; the new floor in the first wing where our room was beautiful! Our room was spacious and comfortable. When we have stayed there before, we went to the restaurant, but this time we had other places to be, so I can’t comment about it. We will stay there again in the future and plan on going to the restaurant.

Our feet turned black walking barefoot on the carpet.The toilet paper was not filled when we got there. Our room was not cleaned when we requested it so we did not have clean towels for the following day. So we went to the desk to ask for toilet paper and clean towels. We would never go back there! The manager was away so we did not get to speak with her. They are supposed to have her call us. After spending that amount of money and at a place that was rated the best place in the area. NOT!

The motel is easy access of 95 north and the room was clean. The lighting I. The room was good and easily accessible. It was expensive for this time of year (Fall) and could use some updating: new carpeting and pictures. The hallway carpet was worn and the baseboard molding was off (not a good look) with no explanation. Food at the bistro was good!

Everything was great until 6am when some foreign guy was repeatedly trying to get into my room. Come to find out, the lady at the front desk was helping him! Getting woken up at 6am on a Saturday morning by the hotel staff is reprehensible. Then when she asked if she had women me up, she just laughed it off.

The front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful the housekeeping staff was a little rude when I came back from sledding all morning and I had left earlier then the rest of our group so I came back around 2 and yes my husband was dumb and forgot to move latch so door didn’t shut fully when he left so she said something to me about it and I apologized cause yes he was wrong and I would say something to him when he got back, but I was cleaning up room and brought our trash out to her and asked her if we could get a few more towels cause we were out and she told me next ask before 11 and I apologized and said sorry I didn’t know and I didn’t know my husband and son were going to use the only two big towels in our room before they left to go out so I needed a couple more for my daughter and I I didn’t think it was a big deal and I’m very sorry if it was. But other then that our stay was great
