I wasn't expecting much being that it's in such a small town but what a delightful surprise! The owners were incredibly polite and accommodating. The rooms were clean and the location was just a few minutes from where I needed to be. I didn't realize they had a pool or sauna and the many pet cats that they had wandering around the lobby were awesome to hang out with. Breakfast was your typical oatmeal bagels and muffins Continental breakfast as well as some bananas, fruit cups and yogurt. The AC was a little bit loud but the temperature at night was perfect to be able to open the windows and get some fresh air in. Overall an absolutely fantastic stay and the owners were incredibly helpful and wonderful to chat with.

I don't remember reading that there were cats in the Lobby. I am allergic so I try to keep away but needed to use the laundry.

The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. The staff was great and friendly.

The side parking lot needs to be levelled out. There were a few dips but manageable.

Overall, it was a good experience.

And the best amenity?! THE CATS! There are 5 cats who live in the lobby and they are super fun to play with. They can't be let into the hotel area fyi if you are allergic like me so no worries there. Breakfast is a simple continental with cereal, breads, yogurt, coffee etc.

We were visiting Baxter State Park and didn’t want to deal with the hassle of camping. Baxter Park Inn was the perfect solution! Comfy beds, lots of space for our stuff, a mini fridge in our room for beverages, nice sheets, hot shower. There was a microwave in the room, which can help with late night dinners. The town kind of shut down around 9 o’clock for food. And after a long day on the trail, you need a little bit more than rollers at the gas station. We did not make use of the continental breakfast, but the coffee was good :-)

I knew it was an older motel, but I was disappointed by the beds, the old style bedspreads, the old/stale smell of the room, and the quality of the breakfast. We had to ask for a space heater because the heat had been turned off for the season. They have 5 cats that live in the lobby, so beware if you are allergic.

The property is outdated but clean and well taken care of. Staff are very friendly. The complimentary breakfast is adequate. Given that it’s the highest rated place in the area, this was my second time staying here and had a similar experience both times. A clean budget hotel that’s a bit dated. In a place with more options I’d probably opt for something else for the price but it works great for trips to Baxter State Park and I’d stay here again.

This is not what some would call a 5 star hotel but if you are going to Baxter State park it is a good place to stay.

Their continental breakfast is adequate. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We lived Baxter State park! Hikers and hunters stay here.

About staying not at a nationally named hotel. We were pleasantly surprised staying at the Baxter Park Inn. The clerk at the desk was friendly and pleasant. She explained their establishment rules. They offered breakfast in the morning, though we didn’t have any. The rooms were nice and clean. The only negative is taking our suitcases up a metal flight of stairs to the second floor. My husband had to make two trips as I couldn’t lug my suitcase up the steps.

I really liked this motel. But they should probably warn people that five cats live there , and have the unused convention room to roam free, plus the lobby. The place is filled with cat trees, cat toys, cat hammocks... you get the idea. But the guest rooms are separated by glass doors. My allergic traveling partner had no issues whatsoever and from my part , I absolutely adored these sweet , clean cats. The rooms are clean and plain, nothing fancy but very comfortable. Very , very friendly staff and a really good breakfast for free.

We were very disappointed on the cleanliness of the room first, we went to make coffee and no one cleaned the coffee pot. It was filled with coffee, grinds and old coffee from the previous guest. Then we got into bed and there were long blonde hairs on the pillowcase that leads me to believe that it was never changed just remade so frankly those two things made it disgusting

I was inconvenienced when I first got there because the TV in the room where I was staying did not work so I had to change rooms. It was also a little strange because everything was unplugged, the lamp, the refrigerator, etc. So there was a bit of moving in involved. However, the owner called me on the phone to apologize for the inconvenience and that was very nice!

The front desk hostess greeting us on check in was more than friendly and helpful. We give her four stars. The overall the premises was not badly kept or unpleasant to stay at. However, the maids failed to make our bed or replenish our towels for the second day of our stay. In fact, they did absolutely nothing to the room. We did NOT leave a DND sign on the door so there was no excuse for this lapse in service. Also, the continental breakfast consisted in dried cereal, oatmeal, fruit cups and coffee. Not much of a selection. If you plan on eating breakfast go out but good luck finding a restaurant. There were few amenities in this former mill town. Millinocket was mainly a bedroom community for the now defunct Great Northern Paper company. Everyone seems to be waiting for GNP to return. They don't realize this is not going to happen. Nor do they appreciate the role the Great Northern Woods can play as a outdoor recreational paradise. There is more to Northern Maine than Baxter State Park. In fact, Percy Baxter would not trust the state to care for the lands he left to the public. Rather then deeding them to the State he created a public trust to ensure the lands were not sold or left in ruin. It's a sad commentary on the State Government. We enjoyed our tour of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Hopefully it grows in size as the Federal government invests more money in the area.

Its a tiny town with very little action overall... motel is on the main strip and looks like you would expect a motel to look like in a sparsely populated area - except one thing - it is immaculately clean. Obviously old - but fresh paint everywhere and propery in excellent repair. Beds comfortable, mattressed wrapped/sealed in zipped linens (cleaner, overall).

My quick one word review: Homey ~ It's an older property, but clean, convenient, and comfortable. Quiet is another good description for our 2-night stay at Baxter Park Inn. ~ A few negatives would be the bed's foam topper, parking lot, and the cats. We slept okay on the foam topper, but if too close to the edge, it felt like you'd roll off. The parking lot could use some smoothing out, and landscaping to making it more welcoming. As for the cats in the lobby, we have our own indoor cat, but am fully aware of people being highly allergic to them, so just don't feel it's a wise business chose. ~ We would chose to stay there again, and recommend it to anyone who asks us.
