Baker's Motel - Motel in Norwich - 8855 E Pike, USA

This is the best motel that I have ever stayed for road trips. |It is extremely convenient - right off Interstate 70.|It has EV chargers. It helped me find the motel. It couldn't be better for an EV driver who can have a good night of sleep while his car is charged.|Gary is very friendly and accommodating. |You can park your car right in front of your room for unloading stuff.|The room is clean and has everything a traveler needs. |Look forward to returning to Baker's when I am in the area again in the future.

Great and kind staff at a comfortable and convenient spot. Charming motel with lots of history - and an informative owner who can tell all sorts of interesting stories about the area and property. Few frills, but all the essentials and comfort. I'd rather stay somewhere quirky and locally owned over a cookie cutter chain.

This was the last place we stayed overnight before arriving home. It’s not the most “modern” or extravagant place but after the nightmarish experience with Hotel Abri in San Francisco (which is still ongoing) and the numerous hotels that charged me a higher rate despite not having the pool they advertised working (with 90 degree plus temps), actual snacks for breakfast when they advertised “breakfast included “ and various other things, this was a welcome change! The room was clean (more than I can say for most of the places we stayed in). And it was perfect for what it was intended for…. a safe place to spend the night. They do operate on a cash basis (unlike the hotel chains) and also charge a 3% fee for credit cards. Despite this, it was still well worth it in my opinion. I don’t even know if I was charged for the credit card fee or not yet but I understand why if I was. I gave a 4 star rating for location only because I was traveling with a 13 yr old and the antique museum across the street was of absolutely no interest to her….lol. But it’s located close enough to gas stations and other attractions.

Stopped here after 10 pm on my way home from a 4-day road trip to see the eclipse in 2024. It is everything you want in a roadside motel: reasonable prices, clean rooms, close enough to the interstate to be convenient but far enough away to be quiet, friendly front desk service even late at night... The fact that it looks like a 1960's mid-century modern time capsule is icing on the cake. My room felt like it could be featured in a David Lynch movie... in a good way. You're kind of rolling the dice when you stop at a random motel beside an interstate, but I guarantee you won't regret stopping here.

The vintage Baker’s Motel had the charm of yesteryear as well as modern conveniences such as Roku tv, fridge, microwave and fast wifi. The room was very clean and the tile bathroom (green and pink) was neat. The room next door was occupied but unlike the newer hotels, I only found that out in the morning – no doors slamming, no tv sounds. Great to be able to park by the front door of the room – no dragging suitcases through corridors. Will stay again.

If your looking for a quiet clean well lit place to get some sleep, this is it. No drugs, no million ppl coming and going. All we heard was crickets. It was nice not having to wonder if we we would be missing a window in the car in the morning. Clean safe older family run place. We loved it. Would stay again for sure.

Great family owned motel. Great rates and very clean large rooms. Everything is spotless. Grounds are manicured and well taken care of. Owners are very friendly and even opened their antique store for us to shop in. Will definitely go back when in the area. It was the best place we stayed at on our trip.

An eclectic mess but at a great price, it was a reminder of how motels used to be. The room was small but had personality unlike the sterile chambers of today. The tile work in the bathroom was gorgeous. Located on one Ohio’s great old roads, not far from John Glenn’s house.
