What a great place to stay. Easy to get in and out of, the room was clean and comfortable. My son and I even caught a few smallmouth in the river next to it. I definitely recommend it.

Very nice rooms, great to have a kitchenette. Great views out the back on pine trees along the Penobscot River. Great relaxing weekend. Even the art work in our room was attractive. Good parking lot too - easy to pull in, and easy to pull out. Menus in the room - couldn't ask for anything more

This is a great little gem, close to Bangor shopping district that offered a Great accommodation setup with separate bedrooms and a pullout sofa bed - so can sleep 6 and directly on the river with its own full kitchen. GREAT VALUE and Great Staff. Had new carpet, did not smell musty, furniture good shape. Only the bathroom needed a nit of TLC but was certainly usable. We will be back for sure. Thank You

The unit was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a large stain on one of the bedspreads and the photos posted on the web site were a little misleading. We felt like we were staying in my 90 year old parents house.

Hi Marilyn,We are glad that you found our first floor unit clean and comfortable beds. This unit is similar to the unit upstair without a balcony.Room 203 is a popular request, by many of our guests who stay overnight or for a few days(this is the first I am hearing of this, over the winter we will be doing some updates). On regular basis we launder all of our spreads throughout the year.Thank you for your feedback.

We are glad you enjoyed having the King Bed in your room, there are two lamps in the room and a overhead light in the compact kitchen area, but we are considering additional lighting. There are six outlet in the guest standard room and at the office we have additional bricks for guest that may have left theirs at home. We are happy to lend one out to our guests in need.We are considering in looking for mini UBS port towers to display in our guest rooms.Thank you for the suggestions.

Great little motel.
My family and I were staying a few days to explore Acadia and found Milford on line. When we pulled up, it looked like any ordinary mom and pop hotel. Jayne then checked us in. OMG, what a wonderful person. This woman epitomizes what hospitality is. She steered us to a couple of good restaurants and was always attentive. Anyway, about the room, we had a 2nd floor room with a small balcony and a view of the river. If you can, get a 2nd floor room. It was so nice sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the view and a glass of wine or beer. The room did not feel like a hotel room, but someone's home. It was very comfortable and just homey. And we were able to get a room with 3 BEDS. I don't know why that's so difficult to do in this country when it's pretty common in Europe, but it seems the best we can do here is some sorry ass pull out bed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and each BR had it's own AC unit along with the one for the main room. We loved this place and if I get back to Maine, I will be staying here again. As a side note, it was about a 45 minute drive from Acadia, but that did not bother me.
