Beachway Motel, Salisbury

I love staying at the Beachway! It is the best motel ever! The staff is fun and friendly, and there is always something to do nearby - or you can enjoy the lovely grounds. There are firetables for the summer and picnic tables too. I tell all my friends to stay there. There is almost always someone out on the grounds or about the place, if you like hanging around on the porch getting to know people, and you quickly feel right at home. There is usually a little refrigerator, and microwaves can be ordered, but why cook there? Just eat snacks - and get out to enjoy the great scenery and shopping and museums and special attractions, including more than one nearby movie theater with full concession stands, fabulous pizza shops and Chinese food, and tons of budget shopping venues are all in the area for not just full of food but just about anything you might imagine. If you are in shape, Salisbury Beach is within walking distance, and there are at least three places to eat on the way there, including Marie's, just across the street, which has a super nice breakfast with all the fixins. I often spin into Amesbury myself to grab a hard boiled egg or a packaged sandwich at the Cumbies for my breakfast. Alliance Park is near there for Revolutionary War buffs, as is the fantastic Bartlett Museum and the Captain's Well. The Maritime Museum is in Newburyport, and it can be reached on the city bus that stops right on the constant festivities called State Street. Exactly, I must confess that hardly a stay at the Beachway passes when I am not sending someone to the Newburyport Richdale's for a 25 cent hot dog and a view of the water there. The Beachway is a must! It is just the greatest stay ever! Fill up your gas station and get there quick. In fact, buy a few gas cards when you first get here. There is lots to see, and you will want to head out often to see what is here in the lovely Valley.

We stopped by here to sleep one night while on a road trip and encountered the worst room we have ever stayed in - the carpet was very dirty and the towels were threadbare. The worst thing was that the sheets were not cleaned after previous use - we could see dirt spots and stuff lying between the very thin sheets!

Family run motel clean and nice rooms. Great location. Felt safe.I don't know why others didn't like it. When I had a problem they fixed it. Only thing that would make it better would be a microwave. Neighbors seemed happy too! Thanks!

the pillow cases were dirty never changed there was blood on then and hair. the sheets had huge brown and yellow stains covering more than half of them. the bathroom smelled of urine very strongly. i went to the office to ask for a room change when i first got there before i even seen the sheets because there were very drunk loud and obnoxius people in the room next to me whom were yelling obsenities at me and commenting on my appearance and sexualy harassing me and the lady at the office called me a liar and refused to move my room. i have never been more disatisfied with customer service in my life. i was in fear for my safety and they refused to move me ten minutes ater i checked in. there was food crumbs and ashes all over the furniture and the floor. i paid 70 dollars to stay a entire fifteen minutes in the room and they refused to refund me. i am calling the board of health because this place should be shut down. when i was leaving i passed by the swimming pool and there was fecal matter floating in the water, not my idea of a relaxing clean enviroment for myself or children. my entire vacation was ruined because of this expirience.

Not Clean, Couple next door fought all night. Everything was old and grungy. Stayed 2 nights. Owner refunded 1 night. Never again. Of course this place represents virtually all the lodging in Salisbury and the beach. We will never go to Salisbury again.
