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.

Disappointed

This motel was so run down… Old furniture in the rooms, my room had a musty / dog smell and stains on the bedspread. The pool was definitely not heated and the concrete was cracked. They don’t clean the rooms at all - to keep costs down is what I was told! yet there was an envelope for a tip for the maid - I won’t stay here again

The property was quiet and nice. The room was nice as well except for the extra firm beds, the vent in the bathroom had layers of dust like it had never been wiped down, small bits of trash left behind from previous person was behind the table between the beds. Getting into the hot tub was difficult because of the cover and no clear instructions on how to open it. Nice gentlemen who works there helped open it for me after seeing me struggle. Kids enjoyed the pool. It was convenient to food and the beach.

Nice Motel in Wells Maine

Nice Motel in Wells Maine. Keyless entry and check in was fantastic.The room was clean. The staff was excellent and responsive. Location is nice and accessible. The units are nice, could use some upgrades. Some units have a cook top and some don't. We had pots and pans in the cabinets but No cook top. Overall a clean comfortable stay.
