I was going to give a decent review of this place until I called the front desk to ask a question and was promptly hung up on like I was bothering the guy on duty. My question? If the room next to mine was a smoking room. Why? Because my room was a non smoking room and as soon as... More

What a pile! Very poorly equipped. No irons in the rooms. You can easily hear conversations in the next room. Walls are paper thin. The "staff" spends most of his time asleep at the front. They close at 10PM and anything you need will have to wait. The room I was in was very basic and barely adequate. I left... More

I stayed at this motel for over 2 weeks, March 2013. The room, bedding & bath very clean and housekeeping did a good job. There was plenty of parking and the grounds were clean too. The huge problem was in the Riverview building, the noisy hot water system including the base board heat ( and someone taking a shower @... More

A bit over-priced for the age and condition. But the room was clean. A welcome experience as we had been at the Motor Inn and changed our minds due the condition of the room there. 1 king size bed with a new tv, wireless internet and lots of hot water. Had a room down overlooking the waterfront, very pretty and... More

The only good thing about this hotel was the price. It is an old 1960's hotel. The bed was awful and you can very clearly hear your neighbor. I could touch the ceiling and I am very short. The doors open into the parking lot so you have no privacy.

We stayed here on October 4th as we were tired and desperate for a place to sleep. Well the guy at the desk charged us way more than what we paid in Bangor saying that it's high season. We get to our room with all the walls done in dark brown panneling. Place needs a major facelift. The bathroom has... More

We had a large ,nicely clean furnished room with a lovely view.. There is a walking path along the river right in front of the property. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The adjacent restaurant had great food at very affordable prices.

This is a clean, quiet, basic motel only a short drive to the border. Restaurants are a few minutes away. Walking distance to the bridge into St. Stephen. Nothing fancy but quite adequate as a stopover on the way from Bangor to Saint John.

My husband and I spent the night here while we were on our way to Canada. The room was clean. The only bad things I have to say is there were 2 full size beds in the room, which meant that we did not sleep in the same bed. And the towels were NOT soft!! We only slept there, but... More
