Close to Acadia but quite quiet. We liked the owners.

Price was good. Every time toilet was flushed it leaked, parking was bad, rooms had musty smell daily even though a window was left open.

The room itself wasn’t that bad but the smell of it was very bad. The description says free WiFi but there’s none in the room.

Ancient place and furnishings

Ancient run down place and furnishings. Tiny room. Sinking floor. Moldy dirty bathroom. I booked two nights but couldn’t stand the second one. Manager however was kind enough and refunded the second night.

A tired motel. Doug was lovely but the motel is not worth another visit. Hotels.com charged taxes as well as the site. What’s that about?

Emm, some property doesn't have a flat floor. If you look at the 6th image provided by the property, you can tell its's tilted a little. No A/C. Fan only. Doesn't smell nice inside. Bedding feels sticky and you can see something doesn't appear to be very clean. Bugs around and inside. The staff and manager are nice. However, this probably gonna be the cheapest option around, if you only look for somewhere indoor to sleep.

Would never go back.

The place was a dive. Smelly, old, and run down. It hasn't been updated in over 30 years

Good stopover place

Inexpensive stopover but needs further renovation (in bathroom area for example). Friendly and conscientious host.

Stay away

This place is also known as "Homestead Motel & Cottages". On arrival we were given one of the cottages, well cottage not, this would be better described as a rotten damp smelling shed. I'm surprised one of us didn't fall through the bathroom floor as it was so spongy. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the ceiling was covered with water stains and the panelling on the walls was coming away. The WiFi didn't reach the room. The patio consisted of two filthy plastic chairs outside the front of the shed. There was daily housekeeping but I'm not sure it included making the bed because ours wasn't. I can honestly say this is the worst place I have ever stayed and would not recommend this to my worst enemy.

Eh...it was there

Wasn't the best...actually closer to the worse. The room was tilted, water leaking from bathroom to the sleeping room, microwave and fridge not clean. Staff was friendly and I am sure they are trying, but maybe just invest a little more.
Adam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A little tired.

This motel is a bit rundown. Clearly could use a little work-new carpet and curved shower bars leap to mind. Though the water pressure is by FAR the best I have had on my trip, which has included 7 other hotels. The location, about a half hour from Acadia National Park, is quite favorable. I stayed in one of the little cabins in back and since it did not have an adjoining wall it was very quiet. You can park RIGHT NEXT to the room, so moving luggage is not a problem. Also, as it got a bit nippy, the heater was more than adequate for the room. I slept like a log, so while I was not initially impressed with the bed, it certainly served its purpose!! "Breakfast" was a blueberry muffin, chock full of blueberries and a quite good cup of coffee. The owner was very enjoyable to talk to. The hotel definitely needs some work, but it has some real upside to it as well.

Hotel muy rural

El internet no llega a las cabañas. Bastante antiguo. El desayuno muy hecho en casa.

It was a nice Motel when asking about ice they said we could have ice in a bag because their ice machine was broken down
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was by far the worst accommodation I have ever had to stay in. There was no WiFi in the motel, and the room was also not clean. Worst of all, my friend ended up in the ER during the middle of the night due to an allergic reaction she got from the motel bed sheets. Additionally, to connect to WiFi, my friend and I had to go to the nearest Denny's to do so. We had to complete some office/schoolwork, which we had so much difficulty doing, due to no WiFi in the motel. Even in the morning, when I tried to check-out and return the motel key, no one was at the front desk. I tried ringing the desk bell, but no one from the staff showed up. Due to my friend's extreme allergic reaction, my friend and I had to spend the remainder of our night in the car, as we feared going back near the motel beds. It is up to people if they want to stay here for cheap, however I will not return again due to the unsanitary motel conditions and inattentive staff. I wanted to request a refund of some sort the morning I was trying to check-out, however the staff was no where to be found.
Saloni, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Doug and Rachel are both very nice. I had nice conversations with both of them. The room wasn't fancy but it's about all I needed for my stay there. The fan was quite noisy and the bathtub had a continual drip after my first shower. The wallpaper could use some updating and was peeling off the wall. The bed was comfortable, it had a nice big closet, they had a tv in the room, and they offered bagels, muffins and coffee for breakfast in the morning. Doug was very helpful giving me some maps and helping me get acquainted with the area when I first arrived.
Jubilee, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrificante.

Dalle poche foto viste su EXPEDIA sembrava decente e forse un po’ di fretta ci ha tratto in inganno, che delusione veramente orribile cominciando dalla RECEPTION sembrava un vecchio POLLAIO arrivati alla camera tutto era fermo a 30 anni fa , era vecchio rotto e sporco, il Wi inesistente , aprivi il rubinetto del lavandino e allagavi il bagno non abbiamo avuto il coraggio di farci la doccia e .......lasciamo stare . Un sito come EXPEDIA non dovrebbe avere un’ hotel così scadente . Se avessi speso 20 € sarebbero già troppi , purtroppo ne abbiamo speso 4 volte di più.

G, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very nice owner but the experience started poorly and only got worse. The front desk looks like a hoarder's office which made me uneasy from the outset. The room was then even worse than I imagined. Floors torn up, wallpaper peeling, fire alarm was dangling from its cords, leak stains on the ceiling, cobwebs above the shower, itchy blankets, and a leaky faucet. I almost never write reviews, especially not negative ones, but booking this hotel almost ruined our entire trip. I feel bad because the guy who runs the place is a very nice man, but spare yourself the disappointment. Hotels like this should not even be on Expedia.
