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.

Beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable love the location as it has a huge parking lot and a great restaurant right in the same parking lot. Sitting out front is right on the river and we actually got to see seals and the fish jumping and eagle come in to try to get the fish Great place for four wheeling.

We loved being on the river sitting outside. The changing of the tide was neat to watch with water going out and then the river filling back up again.

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.
