This motel is lovely. Beds are great, linens clean and comfy. Staff was friendly and Helen's Restaurant across the parking lot is AMAZING. Plan to make the trip to Machias next time we're in Maine primarily based on this stay.

The room was kept well with everything we could need for our stay. The bathroom looked like it was just remodeld, very pretty. The back had outdoor chairs to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the river. There was an excellent restaurant across the parking lot. We would recommend this Inn.

The room we had was recently updated and comfortable. The property shares the parking lot with a very busy restaurant that is noisy and chaotic. There isn’t really a good place for breakfast (the onsite restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast). We had a nice patio to look at the river. After driving from PEI this was good stopping point for us and there isn’t really many options so it was convenient for that reason.

I had a great stay! Love that the river is right out the back door! I also got to see the sunrise right from my chair inside. Would love to stay during spring!

Great property, grass is slippery at night, careful walking toward the river. If you’re lucky like we were you can see deer right outside the slider.
