This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.

Nice place

Clean, cozy place. Breakfast was nice fresh scrambled egg and sausage at table and variety of breads, drinks and fruits. Liked a lot. We stayed night before the CAT to Bar Harber.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was amazing and courteous, but not some much for the warm breakfast: adding bacon and ham as an option in the menu would be a good idea, especially if you're staying more than one night. The other items offered for the breakfast was good.
Franco, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was immaculate. The staff were pleasant. The breakfast was far superior to the usual hotel fare. The facility, although serviceable, is old.
