Lovely quiet motel. Very clean and comfortable with a nice kitchenette. A hidden gem just north of the Bangor area. We will certainly book again with them in the future.

This is a true motel. It is an older property with older fixtures however it is clean, freshly painted, the beds seemed new, the kitchen in working order. This is a great choice for those who are heading out or returning from camping. One weekday morning was quite loud with workers leaving starting at 4am. This motel is a good value. PS the river is hidden behind trees and hedges, so donā€™t expect a panoramic view.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The river view was beautiful, and the room was a comfortable size for our stay. However, we did notice that the cleanliness could be improved, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen areas. We were also given a "clean" towel that appeared to have a bloodstain, which was concerning. We hope these issues can be addressed, as the location and setting have a lot of potential.

We were pleasantly surprised that our room had a kitchenette. Very clean and neat. Only thing we were disappointed with was the lack of the river view due to shrubbery and wooded growth out our window, but would happily stay there again !!

The bed was so comfortable, I had a difficult time getting out of it. The room was substantial, with a nice balcony, The screen was effective and useful to allow cool evening air in. It was a very peaceful setting on the river. Good restaurants and supermarkets are close by.

Liked the practical efficiency of the room with kitchen table, comfortable reading chair, warm blankets, and tv. Also the deck looking out toward the river was quite nice. Didnā€™t like how old - almost dingy- the rug in the room was and overall worn look of the motel.

Wonderful country-cottage like charm

This motel has a beautiful old-world cottage charm. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked a river, which was an excellent place to enjoy our morning coffee. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. I loved supporting a family owned small motel, and everything about our stay was charming. The parking is convenient and the place is dog-friendly. Unlike other soul-less chains, this place barely charges anything for a dog ($10). I would definitely stay here again.

This motel is very unique. It's a motel that pride itself on cleanliness, friendly, is not a modern motel. Checking in is all fashion way. You get a regular key on a room no.tag. Very clean. Housekeeping was exceptionally great. Only fault i found was the bed. Was very soft.

No-frills, but clean & safe

A bit run down, but in good condition. The room was clean, comfortable and safe. You could hear the next door neighbors a bit, but it didnā€™t disturb us. Nice, friendly staff. No-frills place, but great with a kitchenette in the room and a small balcony overlooking the river.

Really liked the comfort of the bed. My wife has back pain due to spinal problems and she found the bed very comfortable. Check-in was initially a bit questionable as it was not certain if I had a reservation although one had been made a week earlier. It was eventually found - all good.
