This is a basic motel accommodation. Clean, updated, room. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom and shower. Shower pressure was very good (noticed some other reviews that commented it was not so that’s why we stated it). Breakfast of cereal, boiled eggs, toast and OJ. Given other hotel choices in the area, this seemed to be best value. Would stay here again.

1st time staying here on our way thru Maine. Very easy to access off the expressway with lots of chain restuarants and stores close by. An older property that has been very recently renovated and modernized. They've done a great job making a clean, modern, comfortable property. Great value for the money. I'd stay here again when in the area.

Humid Room and lots of hair in the bed!
I decided to stay here after stopping at another hotel with a similar price nearby. The reviews looked great on hotels.com. Upon arrival, i was moved from the room i booked to the "Annex" because my room had not been cleaned yet and it was late so i get it. The room I did get looked good with the upgrades they did. The problem I had was the pillows and sheets had not been changed from the last person. I found hair on all of the pillows and in the bed. Pubic and regular. By the time i got back from eating and got in the bed, It was after 10pm so the front desk had left for the night. I sucked it up and shook off the sheets and pillows, layed a bath towel on the pillow I was going to use to make it usable and tried to sleep. The humidity in the room would not go away. The rooms air was wet all night. I couldnt sleep at all. I finally got up and left early in the morning to continue traveling to my job site. I booked this place against my better judgement going by the reviews. I will say, if they start cleaning the beds properly and get the AC fixed, it could be a solid room. At $244 for the night, i got screwed.
