It is cheap, but not worth it.

You get what you pay for. I tried a few motels on our trip to see the leaves and this place was awful. And for just under $100 it was not worth it. I think $30 would be a good price. It was super dirty with hair clumps on the sheets, huge spiders and webs in the corners and it just wasn't cleaned. There is a larger town across the river which we should have stayed at, but this place took the cake for the worst place I have stayed in. Just pass it up. The check in was simple, grab your key from the dark tiny office and return it in the box the next day.

Terrible service

Review of Northeaster Motel, Kittery, ME I recently stayed at the Northeaster Motel and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Upon checking in, I was shocked by the extremely small size of the room. The door nearly hit the bed when I opened it, which was quite unsettling. The issues continued when we returned from dinner. I went to the lobby to get some ice, only to find out that they do not have an ice machine—something that seems quite basic for a motel. The bed was another major problem. It was incredibly hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The following morning, I mentioned these concerns to the manager when returning the room key. Instead of addressing the issues professionally, the manager responded in an extremely rude manner, telling me to “go and never come back.” This kind of customer service was completely unacceptable and only added to our frustration.

Hotel with cabins

It was interesting to say the least. Retro 1970’s including the check in process and the key! I expected a hotel room and ended up with a cabin. It was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. Nice owners and a unique stay. I’d stay there again.

It was okay here. The staff were nice but this was not the nicest place I've stayed in this price range. The mattress was REALLY uncomfortable and I didn't get the room I thought I was getting. I signed up for a standard queen but the bed was only full size and the quilt had stains on it so I took it off and threw it in the closet. Luckily, the sheets were clean and there was an extra blanket. I also thought I was getting a shower/tub combination but it was only a stand up shower. It was fine for 2 nights but I was very happy to get home to my clean house and comfortable mattress.

Could have used more lighting. Over by the table and fridge was very dark. Also could have used a clock either hanging or on a side table. Curtains on the two doors could have been thicker for better privacy. Room was very clean, the gentleman I delt with was very friendly. Rates were affordable.

Don’t bother spending your money here. Take it to the place next door or even on the street, I hate to say anything about racism, but the owner here is definitely just that. Her husband Rafie is awesome! Which makes sense he’s the face of the place, but the Nosheen is mean mean mean, It’s started with us renting the cabin and paying daily, we paid for 2 nights and the day we were due to check out, we decided to stay again well before check out no sheen came to tell us the cabin was reserved to move across to the rooms, so we obliged, the room the dirty couldn’t se root the windows, the sheets looked like they hadn’t been washed at all just reused, it was out dated, for sure, no phone to the “office” no blow dryer, which wasn’t a deal breaker, so much dust on the head board windowsill, etc, what made it worse was the live in house keepers were directly next to us in #1 and they had a sound bar which was always on full blast, complained about it four times even asked to move in which the wife said no I will say something, she never did cause it proceeded, and guess what no one stayed in the cabin the day we left and for the week ahead. It stayed empty! we went from paying $80 a night online, to the wife now charging me 128 a night NOT WORTH IT ONE BIT but we were already 1 week in, I decided to start paying online and the wife told me I was not allowed to do that to bring cash to her. This was after I went and reserved the cabin online, she said we couldn’t move rooms! RUNFAST

The furnishings in the room appeared to be thrift-store items, and not in the good way. Fabric was stained, worn, torn, and dirty. The bureau and endtable were old and banged up. When I first made the reservation, I got an email that there was an issue with my card. When I called to straighten it out, in late afternoon, the woman asked me if she could call me back the next morning. That was curious to me, but I said yes. She said she'd call at 10:00. She never did. At 10:30 I called, and she said she was just about to call me. But then just before hanging up she said she apologized for not remembering to call me. So she really wasn't just about to call me after all. When I was directed to my cottage, there was an old beat-up crap-box car parked directly in front of the front window. That seemed weird. I put my stuff in the cottage and went to get a bite to eat. When I came back, the car was still there. I asked at the office if there was a reason it needed to be there. The guy apologized, said it was his dad's car(!) and moved it. This business appears to be family owned and run, with very little if any understanding of basic customer service principles. I will never stay there again.
