They double-booked our room, so we never got to stay at the motel. They didn’t even called to tell us, but instead told us at our arrival, after a 5 hour drive. They never responded to our messages on Expedia. Also, the price for the room at our arrival was more expensive than what was listed on Expedia (in US dollars).

We were impressed by the @ home atmosphere of the owners offering a hot plate, sink, untensils, cookware, mini fridge. Very welcoming decor/bright & light. Management were very nice/courteous. The downside is that it could have been cleaner - floors and baseboards, etc. Shower wasn't that efficient re: hot enough water. We would return though. Waiting to make sure we get a receipt for staying an extra night and it not going through via the internet/just dealt w/ the management, directly.

It was filthy. Manager was rude und unhelpful. You hear everything through the walls. The floors moved when someone next door was walking. Real treat! And I’m sure black mold was in the bathroom. It was stuffy but when you turned on air, you got a load of dirt floating around the room

We work very very hard yo provide our guests with a clean, comfortable stay. Floors do not move - and i assure you there is no mold. We have had 100’s of guests prior that have had a wonderful stay. Perhaps you would be happier at a more expensive motel. Thank you for coming.

We never stayed. We were turned away because the property said we never registered which we did! So we lost the $185 deposit. I believe Expedia has proof of my payment. My card ended in 3320 Visa. I now have a new card if I can get my credit. Please help me with this and let me know. Thank you. Penny Tanner. We never stayed nor got our money back. That's the best I can do. PT

Expedia does not take money from you. They put a payment schedule on your booking sheet to show you how we take payment. You pay here.

Not only is this property not kept well . The floors were sticky, there was a smell in the room and the bedding doesn’t look or smell clean. The man who runs the motel is rude and made me pay TWICE. The man states that expedia does not collect money though I was clearly charged when booking. Th Ed man states this happens often and gets into fights with guests. Horrible service.

That is all false. Our rooms are very clean. Expedia absolutely does not charge you. They put a payment schedule on your booking sheet. What is so hard to understand. Read it slowly

The property seems to be going through some renovations. Room was clean and staff was friendly. But, it was advertised as a standard studio with kitchenette - there were pans in the new cabinets, but no cooktop or toaster oven. Just a microwave, small refrig. and toaster. Location was good, walkable to see a performance at the Seaside Pavilion, and about a 15-20 min. walk to the beach.

Les points faibles : Personnel et service et infrastructures et conditions de l’hébergement
While the motel was not the worst I’ve stayed in, it definitely was not what I expected from what it was advertised to be. When I booked the motel Expedia asked for a deposit which I gave, and said it would be taken off of the final price. When I checked in I was still charged the full price and the owner denied there being a deposit on Expedia. It turned out the deposit money was never taken out but I still ended up paying for than i had originally expected. In addition I found the owner to be very condescending and gave us some creepy vibes. Whenever he would see us he would ask if we got drunk or high then also remarked on how quiet we were which was just weird. End of the day nothing happened but I definitely didn’t feel super safe. The room itself was fine, not super clean but passable. The shower had some sand in it when we got there but that is to be expected at a beach motel. The location was a short walk to the beach but far enough away from the pier and town that it was not noisy.

First off you are not experienced at booking motels. Second I only asked if you were old enough to drink or smoe because it’s not allowed here by kids. Last but not least I jokingly asked you once if you drank at the beach. Haha. Just like I said Expedia doesn’t take your money. You were not charged anymore than what your reservation was. Thank you have a great day….Randy

The owner was very kind. The room was spacious. Full filled our 2 night stay. Wish it was cleaner. Could definitely walk to downtown old orchard if you were not lugging much. Its about a 20ish minute walk. The motel is near a busy road. Kind of noisy and you can see headlights in the window when cars go by. But it accommodated our needs fora short stay.

Stay away and be sure to check your credit card!
When we got there the room we booked through Hotels.com wasn’t available because evidently they weren’t even open for the season yet so they moved us to another location which wasn’t open yet either but they had a room ready so they put us there. They also charged us again even though we had already paid and it’s been 7 days but we still haven’t gotten our refund. The room was okay but the bed was miserably uncomfortable. The person working there or the owner or whoever the person was sat on the front porch right by our window late in the evening taking very loudly on the phone using curse words. Later in the night we couldn’t possibly sleep for all the commotion going on upstairs which seemed odd since they technically weren’t open yet. The kicker of them all though was that we didn’t have heat in our room we could only turn the air conditioning up high so the cold air wouldn’t come on but you had to go out into the hallway to get a remote control to change the temperature and then put the remote back out in the hallway! By the way I know some may think we’re crazy to need heat in June but it was 50 degrees in Maine that morning. Stay away from this place. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice and informative and the young man that helped check us in was nice but everything else was the pits!

From the outside this is a very cute motel and the room décor is adorable and well done. Unfortunately, the rooms are not clean. There is a small kitchenette with some kitchen utensils, glasses, silverware, etc. The dishes are dirty and the utensils sitting out had a thick layer of dust. The decorative mats on the tables are stained. The walls and doors have dirt and grime. This is especially apparent when you close the bathroom door and have to look at the dirt and grime. The bath mat is a memory foam rug that was damp. The bed dips in the middle. Thankfully, we were there only one night. I can overlook most anything, but not dirtiness. We stayed at the property on the last night of our trip. We were originally going to stay the first night too, but on the day of our arrival the owner charged us more for the room than was booked and confirmed through Expedia. He said this was an Expedia issue and that we could cancel the room (which we did for the first night) and he would refund our money. So, we cancelled thee first night and kept our reservation for the last night of our trip. However, I wish I would have canceled that last night too as the owner did not refund the first night until I reached out several times and only then he refunded a partial amount. A month later and he still has not refunded the rest even though he said, "I will give you the stupid 50.00. Merry Christmas. Do not attempt to contact us again or you won’t get it. I promise."
