A group of 6 of us on Motorcycles stopped at the Kyes during the week of August 13th and Dana and his wife couldn't have been nicer to us!! The rooms were clean and nice and to have the homemade breakfast that his wife made us the next morning was fantastic. The group of us were riding through Maine and... More

I stayed here with some friends this past summer. It was charming and quaint, and I loved the location. Right on the river with lovely woods and an easy walk to town. The owner, Dana, was extremely friendly and relaxed, and he even hung out with us when we made a bonfire in the back. The rooms are designed in... More

Arrived half hour AFTER check-in, our cabin was NOT ready. Housekeeper did not know we were coming. When I went back up to the office to speak to the owner about it, he said "what would you like me to do about it", The housekeeper tried to get it done as fast as she could in the mean time we...

We are spending our short vacation traveling through New England. We had one a night stop at Kyes Motel. There were two problems we had, which nobody could help us while we are on the go. First, we hunted wild mushroom and were very successful. We picked a lot a wonderful mushrooms and we were not ready for that. It... More

We enjoyed our stay in a clean, comfortably furnished room with rustic wood-panelling. The friendly owners can provide a wonderful breakfast in their scenic dining area for a bargain price! There is access to beautiful recreational areas.

We stayed last night at this Motel. We checked in late, tired and needed somewhere to sleep for the night. The owner is extremely friendly and passionate about his Motel. Simple and adequate accomodations, not the Hilton, but is well kept and clean. Lovely clean pool, there is a beautiful walkway to the river, and a full hot breakfast is... More

I stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend, and another couple while on a skiing trip to Sugarloaf. Since we made the booking last-minute and it was New Year's weekend, this was the closest we could get to the ski hill. The motel was old, and in need of an update, but clean. There were two double beds that... More

Checked in and took walk down to the river - too far and inaccesible. Room smelled and nothing was updated in anyway and totally worn. These owner(s) really need to assess if they want to be in the motel business or just hope for suckers to stop in. Got there too late to get a refund and so we forfeited... More

I have stayed with the Kyes' in both the standard rooms and cabins for many years with my family. While it is not new or fancy, it is clean, comfortable, has everything you need for a very reasonable price and always feels like home. My favorite parts are the beautiful Kennebec river, sing-a-longs by the huge fire pit and outdoor... More

You've got to be kidding - whoever wrote the other reviews obviously has limited experience of motels. I've travelled over 9,000 miles on my last 2 USA road trips and stayed in around 50 different motels - all of them better than this one. This establishment clearly hasn't seen investment since the day it was built. I didn't see the... More

It is unfortunate any guest of ours may make negative reviews. Thousands of guests have stayed here. We have letters from many guests who like our place. From experience I have met individuals that can not be pleased no matter what one does. It is my hope this individual has better days. More
