My friend and I needed a hotel for 3 nights to visit a family in the area. We checked in late and a lovely couple met us to give us the key. The building is older but well kept and very clean. The room we had appeared to be updated. The shower was nice, towels, coffee pot with cups and small packages of sugar/creamer etc. I will say it was VERY clean. We were very comfortable. It's not the Four Seasons but it was exactly what we had hoped for in this northern Maine area. We will be staying there again on our next visit.

Yes the room was clean and the staff was nice. The two things that I would comment on is the flush was broken and it was very very hot and no way to turn it down or control it in anyway.

This was a nice older motel that is being fixed up. Our room was clean with comfortable beds. There was some nice new furniture but some unfinished area so maybe still being renovated. Overall a good one night stop. A great place for breakfast not to far by car is Gather. Great coffee and breakfast.

Staff is friendly and efficient. Very clean room, newly renovated, but they really need to get better mattresses. The whole reason guests book rooms is to sleep, so having comfortable mattresses should be first and foremost when redecorating. One week of sleeping on that mattresses did a number on my back. The motel is centrally located and perfect for visiting my family who live nearby.

It was beautifully maintained? My room was in the design of an old Maine Camp, it was really well done. The beds were comfortable and there was a microwave, refrigerator and even a little breakfast nook. A great place to stay

They accommodated my late arrival. Flight was delayed and wouldn’t have made it in time for check in. Room was spacious and clean. Really quiet as well. When we come back we will stay here again.

We had a non-smoking room, however the room smelled like stale smoke. I think someone did smoke in there at one point. The room was clean and the beds were average.

It’s a motel ( nothing fancy) but was very clean. We stayed on the floor level and it was noisy from the rooms on the 2 nd level. Yes I would stay there again. Very relaxed and had chairs and benches outside your room. We could walk to 3 restaurants from the place. Very convenient location.
