Just returned from our fifth stay at the Carriage House. Bob and Sally, our hosts offer great hospitality and value. Our accommodations were spotless, the surroundings quiet and restful, the staff were attentive and friendly and once more we found the site a perfect 'jumping-off' point for exploring the southern Maine coast. Can't wait to return in 2015 .

Room tip: No restaurant or fitness facility, but the owners can offer great referrals.

Sally and her husband were amazing hosts. They made our entire wedding weekend stay perfect, accommodating a large group, and taking everything we asked for in stride and with a smile. Could not have asked for better hosts, they repeatedly went out of their way to create an amazing experience for us.

Room tip: The suites above the office are beautiful but the motel rooms are clean and well cared for as well.

Wells is just down the street from charming Kennebunkport, but much more reasonable rates! This is a great little place to stay--we had a suite which had a cooking area and small fridge in the room. We were only there a couple of nights so didn't cook much, but we could have.

Sally was great--couldn't have been more helpful or knowledgeable about the area. She's exactly the kind of person who should be running a place like this. Never made us feel that we were taking up too much of her time with questions about the area.

There is a lot to do in and around Wells--lovely beaches, antique shops, whale watches, birding and nature walks.

People who need a chocolate on the pillow every night in an ultra-luxurious room (and don't mind paying premium prices) may want to stay someplace else. But if you like a very clean, comfortable, quiet room; friendly and knowledgeable hosts; and a great location--all for a very good price--then call the Carriage House. They'll take great care of you. I hope to go back soon.

Sometimes you stay in a Mom & Pop hotel and it reminds you why you prefer the predictability of a chain hotel. The experience here is just the opposite. If all small local motels were like this one, the chains would have to figure out how to hire staff that actually cares, rather than pretending they care.

Pros:
Immaculate rooms.
Well-maintained bathrooms, including relatively modern plumbing and countertops.
Second sink and counter area in main room (also updated and immaculate).
Unlike many older motels, the A/C doesn't make strange noises, and the fan can be set to run continuously to mask noise.

Cons:
I didn't find it an issue, but some might find the mattresses too thin.
Noise transmission through floor and walls is relatively high.

We stayed at the Carriage House Motel over the 4th of July weekend for a family wedding, and had a great stay. Sally was very kind and accommodating to our needs.

Check In was quick and simple - gave our names, got our room keys and to the room we went.

Room was average: we had a double room with a small kitchenette area. This was your standard room, nothing fancy, just a nice clean comfortable room.

Staff/stay: Everyone we encountered here was wonderful and friendly. Some of the family used the pool, which was nice.

Location: was great to everything we needed in the area, beach was a short drive away, restaurants close by, we did not need anything more.

Thank you to the Carriage House staff, we had a great stay and when we are in the area again, we will be staying here :)
