"Very nicely renovated and upgraded. Heater didn’t run more than lukewarm and hot water was slow to get warm. Outside seating was very nicely decorated and designed. Would definitely stay here again."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Staff is super friendly and helpful! Dustin on night shift was especially helpful and kind. He gave us places to go see we had never heard of that were beautiful! This motel’s location is fantastic it’s right on the edge of town. It’s far enough away that you don’t have to deal with traffic but close enough you can walk to everything downtown it’s a little over .5 miles to walk. It’s also extremely close to Acadia! The 24 hour complementary water snacks and coffee are great for Hikers who may be up extremely early trying to hike up the mountain for the sunrise! They also have a little breakfast from 7-10 that isn’t a ton of food but it’s enough to get you going. The room was very clean when we arrived and had everything you needed. The only thing we had wrong is we didn’t have shower curtains in our room when we arrived but it was resolved immediately when we brought it to their attention. If we came back to the area we would 100% stay here again!"
