It's great for a short stay only, for me. It's conveniently located on Rte 1. The staff were friendly, and it was clean and quiet. They need to accelerate upgrades to AC systems. My room had a hole in the floor that needs repair, near bathroom threshold. The TV is too small to view from the bed located on opposite wall - they should upgrade TVs too. The fridges lack a freezer compartment. Overall good.

This hotel is solid for what it is - a fine place to overnight if you're driving through. The rooms are good, but there is some noise from the nearby highway if you're trying to get to bed on the earlier side. It tapers off as the traffic dies down. There is a new lock system on the doors which require a key pad and combination which at first seems convenient, but when checking in I could see all the combinations written down for all the guests checking in that date as they were all easily visible on the desk. Scared me a bit, especially when the doors didn't have an additional latch / pad lock on the inside. Otherwise it's a fine place to crash, and Belfast is a cute spot to stay!

Mostly fine room except the shower didn’t work. Ran hot and cold water and was dripping out less than a water fountain at school. Not good as I had 5 min to take a shower.

The staff had allowed me a late check out but didn’t tell anyone so some guy was all angry at me as I was complaining of the shower. He was very rude and just nasty. Interacted with him twice. Would not stay here again. He was like yelling at me.

We enjoyed our stay here. Much more quiet than I would have expected since rout1 is just out front. If there i an ice machine I never did find it but the refrigerator in the room worked very well. Very close to Belfast and all it has to offer, so many restaurants and shops to chose from plus the harbor walk. The room was very clean and looked newly renovated. The front desk is only open from 3-9pm but thee is a number to call if you need something. We did not need anything , everything was already there. I would definitely stay there again. Free parking , No breakfast. Short drive to town.

This location was good and the room was clean. However, there wasn't Staff available most of the day and the one I checked in wasn't able to really help with a restaurant suggestion, but there was a paper listing available.
Housekeeping only comes if you call a # before 10 am which I missed the message. Toiletries were sparse.

I had several interactions with staff and they were all great! Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, effective.

The building is a basic motel. The rooms have vinyl wood floors and are very clean.

I had two dogs with me and when I paid $175 extra it seemed maybe I should get something for that. But no dog bowls, no cookies, no poop bags. They weren’t set up to keep the room clean: no dog bed was provided and I had to use my own dog towels to wipe their feet. I also had to make a special request to get a sheet to cover the bed so we wouldn’t get mud on the beautiful white comforter s.

Made me think it was just a money grab.

Everything is ultra clean and the staff are so nice and responsive. We’ve stayed in much more expensive places while in the area and they have nothing on The Yankee Clipper. The area is quiet and safe as well. You’ll be so glad you gave it a try!

It was a decent place to stay over night. Room was ok. Not very big of in a wheelchair . Sidewalks are brick. Hard on wheelchairs. Very hard to see the slight ramp that is needed to get onto the sidewalk. Their is no one on duty at night after 9 pm. If you need something or to check in you have to contact motel a couple miles down the road. It is a place to shower and lay your head.

They had my key waiting for me and when I walked into the room I was pleasantly surprised. My first thought was, “wow, this place smells great!” Later, as I looked around I marveled at how well the housekeeper does her job. (Because I know her name, I know she is a she…please calm down). Spotless, the room was. I stay in a lot of hotels…..The Yankee Clipper is the cleanest of the clean, in my opinion.

Funny, it was also the least expensive.

Well done!
