The owner/manager was v helpful & friendly during reservations, answering all my questions. She also provides a nice list of restaurants as well as a city map.
This motel is what it says it is: a retro, 1960's no frills, roadside motel. I wanted a reasonably-priced motel within walking distance of the harbor as I was going on a boat trip & didn't want to hassle with parking in a Maine tourist town in summer & this motel has a great location, just uphill from the harbor.
The 2-twin bed room was sparkling clean but still had a slight musty smell but it was not offensive, sort of a "old house" smell.. The small bathroom was fine for me as I'm petite but a large person might find it confining/awkward. There are no refrigerators or microwaves in the rooms but guests are allowed to use the refrigerator/freezer, coffee machine & microwave in the office that is left open 24/7. The motel/grounds are small so this wasn't really a big inconvenience.
About my only complaint is the thin walls between rooms. I lucked out my first night & had quiet neighbors but the 2nd night, loud snoring next door woke me up & even with a white noise machine plus ear plugs, it was hard to block it out but I'm a v light sleeper.
I would consider staying here again as it was more reasonably-priced for the area & it was great not to have to hassle with parking, much of which was $10/day or more.
