The Tallwood is a convenient motor lodge near all the beaches and amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. Mattresses could be upgraded, but we recognize this is a motor lodge. Area around the property could use a little TLC, but overall was a good stay.

Great place for families! We enjoyed it so much we added another night to our stay. Safe quiet area. Only a mile and a half from the beach, close to lots to see and do on the Maine coast. Helpful staff. The pool was great and open late to enjoy a night swim after a day in the sun. Convenient parking, clean rooms, smaller but cozy. There is a train nearby but with our sound machine and the ac running we weren't bothered by it at night. We would stay here again.

The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the refrigerator kept everything cold. The bathroom needs an upgrade, with an unstable toilet and an old mirror. We were only there for one night, so it suited our needs.

Everything was really good and the staff was kind and friendly. The pool area was incredible as well as quiet. The one thing I would say was there were a fair amount of insects in the room

This hotel has been remodeled and looks clean and nice. However, there was a lot of noise from people in neighboring rooms that were loud. Other than that, the owner was kind and friendly. He gave me a great tip for breakfast.

It is an affordable basic accommodation. The bed is comfortable. Fridge, microwave, and bathroom - standing shower for one. A small patio. The train passes later or earlier in the morning. Free wifi. Constant hot water and an air conditioner. A good location to other areas. Pets are allowed with an extra fee.
