"I stay at this motel every time I come to Maine and I absolutely love it. Its nothing fancy, just a good, clean motel that I feel very comfortable at. As a solo traveler I sometimes visit motels where I don't feel safe at. Not this place. Yes, its older and doesn't have room service or anything like that. Its close to everything. You have a gas station and a restaurant (which sells some of the best lobster and crab rolls) right across the street. Cant wait to visit again"
