This information will help you to decide if you wish to stay at Bay Top Motel during Bike Week.
About Us & Our Location
This is a small 12 room motel located about one half mile from Weirs Beach, the strip and the largest vendor areas. We are set back from the road on a small hill from which you can people and bike watch on a grand scale, as no other place has a larger section of Route 3 in view.
Rates
Rates for the first half of bike week, the first Friday through Tuesday, are $249 to $289 per night. We usually have several rooms available. Rates for the second half, Wednesday through Saturday, are $289 to $329 per night, and we usually have 1-3 rooms available. These rates have been the same for several years.
We take 3 night reservations for the first half of bike week and 3-4 night reservations for the second half. We take reservations from repeat customers at the end of December and the first half of January. As we take reservations, there will always be a few gaps and so we will have some 1-2 night openings available.
Demand is highest for the end of the week. We rarely have or accept a two night stay for Friday and Saturday on the last weekend.
All rates are for two people in a room. Depending on room type, the rooms sleep 2 or 4 people. There is a $25 charge for each additional person in a room. New Hampshire has a 8.5% tax on rooms, which is not included in the rates quoted above.
Just For Bike Week
- Plenty of free coffee each morning
- We have an ample supply of old towels that we put out for bike cleaning.
- There is a hose available in case you need to wash your bike.
- We have two gas grills you are free to use.
- The jacuzzi will be hot and ready to soak in after a hard day of riding, which is good because the pool is usually always cold at that time of year.
- For privacy and security, access to our property restricted to guests only.

Parking
We have ample parking. We like to keep the bikes in front of the rooms, and the cars and trailers at end of the parking lot or along the edge by the lawn. Please inform us as to how many bikes, trailers, or cars you are coming in so that we can be prepared to accommodate you. For those who are concerned about the security of their bikes, we’ve never had an incident in the 34 years we’ve been here. We’re small enough to recognize all our guests, so we know who should be here and who shouldn’t. We’re always out walking around keeping an eye on things.
Having Friends Visit
During the first part of the week, your friends are welcome to stop by to say hello or meet up for a ride. Our facilities, however, such as the pool or hot tub, remain available only to paying guests. From Thursday on, access to the motel is for registered guests only, not friends, parents, children, etc.
Smoking Policy
Smoke anything you’d like outside; we have ashtrays everywhere. Our rooms are strictly non-smoking. No cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, pipes, pot, incense, or candles. Smoking in a room will incur a significant cleaning charge. People have reserved rooms with the expectation that they will be non-smoking and odor free.
Deposits
A deposit of 50% is required at the time of booking and the final 50% is due April 15th. Payment by cash, credit card, or check.
Cancellation policy
If you think there is a possibility of having to cancel, you should not make a reservation here. Deposits are non-refundable.
In the past, we would refund 50% if we were able to re-rent the room. In rainy years, this would mean several last minute cancellations.
We would re-rent the rooms, but quickly realized these last minute reservations were frequently younger party people that most of our customers do not want in the room next door and that we do not want on our property.
