Stayed one night due to power outage which resulted in us having no water at home as well so went to Barnetts and was treated great when I got there to get the room as well as when I left the next morning. If my power ever goes out again I will always go back there's friendly and trustworthy people!

We had a friend who lives locally check out the rooms for us. (Won't ask him again!)First off, I called directly to make a reservation. When we tried to check in, they didn't have it!! It was clean, the refrigerator looked new, and the microwave worked. The wall unit AC was old but it worked,also. There are no amenities, There's no shampoo, etc.There's no ice, you have to buy bagged ice from their convenience store! The bedding and bedspread are old. The pillows are horrible. The bathroom has been redone with new tile and fixtures but it is tiny. The shower is dark, and has no light. They seems to cater to out of state construction workers who rent by the month. It also was a bit musty. As my husband told a relative, We've stayed in a lot worse places, but not for a long time. The handyman was very nice and so was the owner in the office. There still is no maid service. If you are looking for cheap prices, this is the place. It's a shame Salem doesn't have more choices.

I came to town to visit family and friends after being away for 15 years or so. Although I found the place to have little to no emmenities, it was a pleasure to stay in a safe place where the owner personally looks after your needs. The owners are more accommodating than most friends and more helpful than the previous owners. I had a wonderful stay there. I do not confuse small town motels with big city hiltons... it was nicer than the price I paid and the neighbors were all pleasant. I felt safe and warm.

Me, my girlfriend, and our 1 yr old son has stayed here at barnetts for a month now, and we are checking out. The water is not drinkable, it smells like a sewer. When you pay by the weekly rates, you get no maid services or toiletries. WiFi is out most of the time and management doesn't try to help. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed

This motel was priced far too high for the room! The screens were all ripped, they don't offer toiletries of any sort! If you want a bar of soap, you better be willing to pay top dollar in their drive-through. The bedding was not only filthy, but torn to shreds! There is no exhaust system in the bathrooms as well as a broken air conditioning unit! Management was rude, and standoffish. You cannot ask for an extra roll of toilet paper, or towel...hell, even the towels were full of holes?! Worst stay ever.
