The front desk attendant was great. The room was clean. The property could use some upgrades to the rooms to make them more modern and comfortable. Queen beds would be an asset for a more restful sleep. The property was clean and conveniently located for our needs on this trip. We would stay at this property again.

The motel must be under new management. It was immaculately clean inside. The outside needs more maintenance but my short stay was very comfortable. The person that checked me in was great. We arrived quite late and she was expecting us. Worth the price and convenient location.

Location was pretty decent. Only 30 minutes from Baxter park. Bathroom ceiling looked like it was falling apart. When you showered it smelled of mildew. Looked like they were working on some units there was a random toilet on the balcony and it looked like it could use a good sweep. Very outdated! The wallpaper was peeling off the walls and was thumbtacked back up.. no good outlets to charge devices. Had a microwave but, no fridge? Ac did not work well at all. We checked for bedbugs, didn’t see anything but we were still bit by something. Getting to the room with lots of luggage was a hassle. Went to the front desk, rang bell multiple times no one was in office. Would not stay here again, nor recommend to a friend.

Nothing special but clean and close to mountain

The place is fine. If you’re just looking for a couple beds to sleep and a shower after hiking Baxter State Park, this is your place. It’s clean. It’s dated with no frills.

This is an old-fashioned motel. It's pretty dated and lacks modern amenities. However, it was clean, convenient, the bed was comfortable and Chris, the owner, was extremely responsive. If you find yourself in Millinocket, I would definitely recommend it.

Old motor lodge in economically depressed area, AC did not work well, no screens on window, just outdated - the kind of place you stay at when passing through, put your head down and leave the next morning - that is what I did after a week of hiking at Mt Katahdin so it lived up to expectation

I chose Pamola because they allowed cancellation up to 2 days before our stay which was important because we were hiking Katahdin and possibly had to change plans due to weather. The service was fine. They supplied a microwave and fridge at our request. There was no coffee maker or coffee in the lobby. Very few options for food in the area other than the attached chinese restaurant. The room was clean but very dated. the bathroom door wouldn't close. Beds were comfortable and clean. Loud people partying outside downstairs, very loud air conditioner, and plumbing. If you just need a no frills place to lay your head and can sleep through noise, this place is fine.

Weird stay

When we arrived we saw a sign that stated the property was being sold. I was greeted by a man who said the new owners had just arrived. The hotel is very run down and in need of an update. Plug ins didn’t work but the room was clean for the condition. It’s been leaking, holes in the wall and tape to cover rips in the carpet etc. The person who checked me in was very nice and stated the hotel was closing and going into new ownership the next day. It made us feel weird to be the only ones staying for the night. Hopefully the place will get a makeover because it’s in a beautiful location.

This motel is well worn and not been kept up. It’s dark, dingy and marginal accommodation. Traveling solo it was ok but the bathroom is from 1970’s. Capet is tied and coming up In places. Wall paper is coming off the wall. Musty and dark best describes the room I had. Bed was comfortable and clean sheets and towels limited lights plugs. The small fridge and microwave shared one lug while the a/c unit used the other. For $120/night I expect much better. This is a $70 dollar room. Oh and the doors, locks and keys are questionable. (All beat up and bearly functional).
