We arrived to find our unit unlocked and door wide open. We had been emailed the entry code prior to arrival. No one was in the unit but it was disconcerting as to why would the door be wide open. Nothing was disturbed and unit was very clean so we entered and settled down. After a long day of travel we were not feeling up to a long restaurant wait time (even take out pizza had a 90 minute wait for pickup) so we opted for a microwave meal from the market just down the street. TV was small but worked fine. In the morning the coffee maker wasnt working properly and shot water all over the shelf it was on so I called the office and a new coffee maker was delivered in just a very few minutes. Great service. Other than that we didnt see or need any staff member. the tip envelope was used and had scribbles but it still opened in back so we could leave a tip for the room person who did a great job cleaning the room- it was very tidy. location of our unit #24 was the closest to the street so road noise was there -especially the motorcycles roaring by on the main road so if you want quieter go for a lower number unit as that will put you further from the street. There was coffee and tea available in the room, as well as 1 large dinner plate, 1 fork, 2 knives, 2 smaller plates, 2 small mugs. This was convenient and unexpected. Mattress was OK, not great but not horrible. Bedding was decent & clean. Safe, reasonably priced, fit our needs this trip so we'd book again if in the area

Anniversary/birthday weekend

My husband booked this trip for our 5 year anniversary celebration as well as my 65th birthday. We were pleasantly surprised when we were provided an “upgrade” and found ourselves in a cottage! It was perfect for us! It appeared to have been remodeled and very clean!

I purchased a one night stay at the Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites in Wells, Maine on expedia, never asking for a dog friendly room. When I arrived, I was assigned a dog friendly room and was charged an added $30. The office was closed, so I wasn't able to speak to anyone regarding this issue. I have the original confirmation from Expedia, showing the price without the added dog friendly room. I do not have a dog..

So pleasant to walk into the hotel room and smell fresh, clean air and to see everything tidy neat and spacious. Very happy with this hotel and the manager, Chris, went above and beyond to answer our questions and help us out when we needed something. Wonderful, thick towels and plenty of them. The little Kitchenette was well stocked and very helpful and even included a hot plate! The beds were also super comfortable. We will definitely be returning to stay there!

Very nice studio in a historic building. Only downside was we were in the carriage house which required climbing a long outdoor staircase. A bit difficult and would have been good to know ahead of time. Studio was spotless and very thoughtfully appointed with kitchen essentials for simple meals. We only stayed one night but it would be a great place for an extended stay. Super comfortable bed. Staff was very nice and even offered a future discount for a small problem that occurred. Overall, would highly recommend, but request ground floor if mobility is an issue. They also have cute cabins!

1) Unfortunately, on the 1st full day of our vacation as I was heading to my car I stepped into a 10" wide divot in the parking lot, badly turning my right ankle and scraping my left knee. I believe it was the owner of rhe motel who came over to me. He apologized. But, a week went by and the divot was never filled in. I ended up with a sprained ankle and an avulsion fracture on the inside ankle bone. I was given crutches & an order to follow-up with an orthopedic doctor once I returned home. 2) The pool was cloudy a lot of the time. You could never smell chlorine nor did I ever see a staff person adding chemicals or cleaning it at any time day/night. 3) No one on staff was available on Saturday late afternoon to retrieve toilet paper. I used my roll of papertowels for toilet paper. I did leave a voicemail and toilet paper was found outside my room's door on Sunday a.m. 3) The Wifi was repeatedly going in & out in the evening during the week's stay. 4) The shower curtain was dirty all along the bottom with both black mold and water stains. Unfortunately, the property was not what I remembered it to be from a few years back. The host I originally spoke to during the winter was kind in allowing us to change our vacation dates after I had already put a deposit down for a different week (July). Thank you for that.
