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.

Great little motel and excellent value

I have stayed here several times now and each time it has been excellent. The two bedroom suite we stayed in this trip looked fairly recently renovated and was equip with stainless steel appliances. NOT a fancy chain hotel but a ver clean and well kept Mom and Pop motel with lots of personal touches.

It was quaint and retro - reminded me of my late Nanny’s house. So not updated or fancy but clean and well-supplied. We arrived late and the proprietor knocked on our door after we had been there a bit with a bag full of water, snacks, tea. A very thoughtful and kind gesture. It was muggy that day and there was one AC and a couple of fans so we were all comfortable. Would return without a second thought.

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.

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 don’t expect a panoramic view.

The owner/manager was lovely and helpful. My room was large and the bed very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with a fridge/freezer, stove, etc. There are areas that could be improved, but expected for a motel-type accommodation.

We had an amazing stay. The front lady was super informative about the place and upgraded our room without asking. The room was cleaned everyday and all our questions was answered with kindness. We loved our stay - with the river view ofcourse. Thanks for the lovely experience.

This was the cutest mom and pop motel. It was clean and safe and had a cute little balcony. Yes, it is outdated but they have made it work for sure. It felt like a motel on old Route 66. Updating would ruin its charm so instead the embraced it.
