You're Really Only Staying Here to Go to the Park

There are three reasons to stay here. It's a pretty cheap option. It's close to the park. And the view. You do get what you pay for though, and this was a very ok experience that could have been better. The hotel does feel dated, but I knew that going into it, so I wasn't terribly upset by that. We did find a pretty big stain on our sheets, and there were quite a few spiders hanging out in our windows. There was a pretty decent storm the night we stayed here. At a nicer place, you might expect the staff to make sure things were hunkered down and secured, but here we had to listen to all of the outside furniture being blown over and pushed across the patio all night by the wind. This place also really loves signs. There are signs all over the place. Including a plethora of signs to drive 5 mph, which, unlike me, you should follow. The first day there I did not follow these signs, which admittedly, was my own fault. Although I was driving safely and at a reasonable speed, it was certainly faster than 5 mph...when the front desk worker caught me, they proceeded to yell at our vehicle, walk after our car, and stare us down until we left the property. Oops!

Close to park, but cheap rooms need an update.

The Cons: we stayed in a room In the back ( probably the cheapest). Room a bit run down and small. Could not park directly in front of room. Staff not friendly at all. Pros: close to park. And they have free coffee, and ice. Grounds are nice and spacious.

The motel was fine, for the most part (a bit of black mold around the shower wall). However, they are in the hospitality business, and motel desk staff could not be more unhappy in their job. Please consider smiling at the guests and making them feel welcome.

Was not what I had expected for 200.00 a night!

Pros - Clean enough and tidy Cons - staff unfriendly almost like we were bothering them. One roll of toilet paper, flushing issues with toilet No fire alarms Flimsy lock on door Unkept grounds around hotel Camper in back of hotel was our view and an empty pool The sponge in sink looked like it had been there all season. Thin walls No shuttle service I would stay here if you truly can't afford the higher-priced locations. I think the extra money to be closer to town and in more updated hotels is worth the cost. Perk for this hotel it is located next to Mainely Meat which is fantastic.

We loved this place! Beautiful view of the water (unless it's foggy). Very responsive staff. Clean and quiet. It is about 4 miles north of the town center, again, very quiet. Note: there's a sign in the office that if you book direct with them, there is a 15-20% discount over using a booking service. While you're there, eat lobster outdoors just north up the road at C-Ray's. Then pick up a homemade blueberry pie at a roadsign just to the south. Perfection!
