Not even an average place. I
Posted Oct 23, 2013Pros: It was clean, but not well kept up.
Cons: Tell the truth about the real cost of this room.
Location: Close to downtown Ellsworth.
It was a below average place. It was clean and I didn't mind the place for the price until I checked out and they charged me an additional $8.50 for using Expedia to book the room. The price was definitely too much for this room with the additional $8.50 for the night. I told Doug it was wrong to publish one price and be charged more by booking on-line. He said, it is in the very small print, and they are a small place and cannot absorb the price. The room is not worth the price.

Looked great in the 1950's (MAYBE)?
Posted Oct 6, 2013Pros: Leaving in the morning.
Cons: Tear it down and start over.
Location: The hotel is in a nice location (just the wrong century). And there are a lot of things to do in the surrounding towns etc.
Not sure when these were built, but I'm guessing sometime in the mid 1900's. Not too sure if they've been remodeled or updated since they were new. Went to the bathroom and thought I was going to go through the floor. Smelled like a moldy old shoe when I first walked in. After the door was open for awhile it smelled better, but not great. Wouldn't recommend this place for any price and for what I paid it was way too high.

Homely spartan accomoddation
Posted Sep 3, 2013Doug and Rachel takes care of their guests personally and are ever ready to help. This is not a fancy place, and neither does it claim to be one. That being said you have everything required for a good nights sleep. The daily housekeeping keeps everything shining. Inspite of the low cost, fresh bagels, muffins, tea, coffe and cranberry juice is provided for all guests.

Simple but Pleasant
Posted Sep 2, 2013My family stayed at the motel over an August weekend for its good location and price. True the place is old and needs some repair but hey, we were there to enjoy the Maine coast and seafood, not the motel room. The owner, Doug was very pleasant to talk to and did they mention free breakfast? The homemade blueberry muffin was just amazing! Overall it was a nice short stay and we will most likely go back there again if we are in that area.

Disappointing!!!!
Posted Aug 15, 2013Pros: nothing
Cons: location, condition
Location: out of the way if you wanted anything
This hotel is VERY rundown and out of the way. The staff was O.K. and the bed was o,k, but this hotel is VERY run down. NO coffee maker or fridge and no place close to get anything. They offered coffee and muffins but when we were ready to leave @ 7;30 no coffee was ready.... if desperate it is o.k. but I would not recommend it otherwise.

Stay Away
Posted Jul 27, 2013Pros: The location because it was in Ellsworth Maine.
Cons: The only way to improve this place would be to tear it down and rebuild.
Location: Ellsworth is a nice area with something for everyone.
No AC, phone or internet in the room. The sheets were so thin that you could see thru them. The room smelled like Lysol, worn carpet, stained ceiling tiles, portable tv (did not try to use, CRT, unknown if there was cable), 1 fan in the room (cheap Wal-Mart type). I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Nice motel in the Ellsworth area
Posted Jul 15, 2013It was a reasonable rate for our room, spacious room with a fridge, ac, and cable tv. The owners were very helpful and I would go there again. I am a pretty easy going person so the uneven bathroom floor didn't bother me, or the water stains on the ceiling, but others might find it unpleasant.

disappointed
Posted Oct 28, 2012Cons: condition
Location: convenient
Bed was comfortable but the general condition is run down. It would need a lot of work to bring up to reasonable standard. Expected coffee and pastries in the morning but not open until 8 am and we always leave before then. peeling wallpaper in bathroom and soft spot in the floor.
