The motel has not been kept updated. A good portion, including the only soft chair in the room, is taken up by a large air-conditioning unit, and a portable heater.
The railing in the shower is ready to fall down, as is a as is an outdoor railing by the steps. The bathroom is so tiny, that if you're on the toilet, your knees are against the wall. The shower is so tiny that an average size person has trouble turning around in it. The worst part, though, was they have some kind of air freshener, apparently to mask another odor, and it was so strong that I had a headache all night long. This made me feel like, although it didn't look dirty, that the room is dirty. This was the most overpriced motel I've ever stayed.

The smell in room 8 is not, \"musty.\" It's old carpet soaked in cat urine. It was too late to ask for another room or try and find another hotel. The smell is HORRENDOUS. It is not nostalgic. And the owners know based on previous reviews and don't care.

This hotel stay provided what we needed but could definitely use some updates. The bed was clean and we had enough space for getting ready for an event we were going to. I would the shower could be bigger and have an actual shower curtain instead of just a regular curtain. There isn't any shelving to put your things. When you're getting ready in the bathroom. A full length mirror could be useful. We did appreciate the hanging hooks for our outfits. One of the things I noticed the most was the carpeting feeling moist and having several stains so hardwood flooring would have been ideal. There were some things that needed repairs like holes and cracks. There was light shining through cracks of the doorway. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable and clean. The room was kept cool with the air conditioner. The front staff was very friendly and parking was convenient. It was also a very good location to the harbor stores and restaurants. The front office had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine which was helpful.

This is really a motel from the 50's. Musty smell to the room with a very Tiny shower and bathroom. Room was comfortable temperature wise. Walls are thin and you can easily hear your neighbor. Parking was good and the motel is located within walking distance to several downtown shops and eateries. The checkin is at 4 which means you need to be there by 4 to have a face to face contact at check in otherwise you will need to call the number on the door to check in. Not likely a place I would stay at again.

Truely 50s motel. The room was in good condition, but no place for open luggage. Not enough leg room to sit on the toilet, had to sit at an angle. Ran out of hot water.

Also, checked in after 5PM. Note on office to use PIN and open lock-box to get room key. Did not have PIN, called number on office door, mailbox full, sent 3 text messages with no response. Finally got lock-box from another room occupant. After further checking, found that I did get a text message from the motel earlier with the PIN code.

This motel was perfect for our stay. The room was small but charming. Coffee is available in the office which they keep open for guests and the trolly stops at the motel and will take you on a guided tour of the area or just save you some walking. The shower is very small and I recommend you bring your own soap but other than that this place is perfect for a romantic get away to Boothbay

Mid-town is not even MID!

Property is very dated with old colonial style furniture, though my king bed was super comfy. No refrigerator in the room. The tiny shower stall in the tiny bathroom had a horribly stained, moldy shower curtain which I had to ask twice for a replacement. I’m pretty sure the staff would not tolerate such a shower curtain in their home, still it seemed like an excessive request. Then the bathroom sink plumbing failed and I spent 3 of my precious vacation hours waiting for a plumber (they insisted I be present) only to be moved to another motel they own in the area since the sink issue could not be resolved. I ended up just cutting my vacation short. It was very unpleasant and I do not recommend this motel. The manager was very defensive about issues instead of admitting it was not up to par.

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.
