Great location in the Belfast area. Convenient location. Room was very clean and up to date. Price was reasonable! It had a decent size refrigerator and a microwave. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
Superb stay! The room was spacious, clean and quiet. Everyone was very friendly, check-in couldn't have been easier. The motel is extremely convenient to the historic downtown; we even walked to the downtown over the pedestrian bridge. Highly recommend and would gladly stay here again.
Very nice room for the price. Very clean and modern. Staff is very friendly. Great location. Only two knocks: 1) Shower is very slippery. There is a mat, it under the sink. Use it! I took a fall, nothing serious...thankfully. 2) The Keurig coffee is terrible. I know that the coffee that hotels usually provide is lower end and I'm by no means a coffee snob but should look for a new supplier. Still giving them 5 and would absolutely go back.
This place has amazing staff in a cute quiet location. It is clean and comfortable we stayed 2xs for our visits to maine
Very clean updated motel in charming Belfast. We have stayed here three times over the years on our annual trip to Maine. Highly recommend for familys, traveling with pets or just one to two person stay. The owners are very accomadating and it's close to many restaurants and grocery stores.
Another motor inn that allows parking, especially when on a motorcycle, in front of your room. Beautiful, modern room and bath, comfortable bed and “porch chairs” to relax in. I don’t know if there was anything in the office for breakfast, but there was a nice laundry and ice machine room. We had dinner in Belfast, two miles away. There’s a gas station within walking distance for essentials and alcohol. Ice cream and activity across the street. A beautiful, affordable and peaceful location after visiting Acadia and motoring on toward Rhode Island.
I had an excellent stay at this motel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making check-in quick and easy. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well appointed with everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the little details that made the space feel inviting. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great hospitality. I’ll definitely be staying here again!
