This was a comfortable stay in a clean 1960s room at a dive up to the door 1 story motel. It was overpriced at $135 plus tax. We travel a lot staying in 45 hotels per year. For the 3rd week in Northern Maine at $85 this would have been a good place to stay.

We have stayed at The bluebird several times in the last couple of years and we have no complaints. The bed is comfortable the water pressure is great everything is clean. But it looks like things are getting long in the tooth. The bathrooms, at least, need to be updated. We will stay there again for sure!

Surprisingly quiet. The room was large - a king-sized bed, a desk and a little sitting area. The toiletries were very nice. Basically, it had all I would expect from a good hotel, way more than I expected from a motel. The receptionist was helpful.

Very convenient to shopping and gas stations, although there isn't a lot to choose from for shopping being a quaint, adorable town with friendly, helpful natives. Very typical of an older motel but super nice people running it. On 9.26.26 the front section was being repaired but this did not cause any noise or inconvenience. It's a little thing but an ironing board and iron would have been appreciated. I would definitely book there again. Super clean!!
