Bonny

AC unit put out cold air with strong mildew scent; room is very outdated but as clean as they can get it although there was mold in bathroom and dirt on fans left in the room; refrigerator leaked water internally and freezer section did not keep ice packs frozer- just chilled. sheets were clean, of note. and front desk was very accomodating when needing to add an extra dog and unexpected child. they allow for dogs but minimal safe space to take dogs for a walk beyond the space just behind or in front of motel. overall, they have done the best they can with the space but it didn't feel safe, clean or welcoming. and smells in the interior stair case were nauseating.

Lovely quiet motel. Very clean and comfortable with a nice kitchenette. A hidden gem just north of the Bangor area. We will certainly book again with them in the future.

Great little motel and excellent value

I have stayed here several times now and each time it has been excellent. The two bedroom suite we stayed in this trip looked fairly recently renovated and was equip with stainless steel appliances. NOT a fancy chain hotel but a ver clean and well kept Mom and Pop motel with lots of personal touches.

It was quaint and retro - reminded me of my late Nanny’s house. So not updated or fancy but clean and well-supplied. We arrived late and the proprietor knocked on our door after we had been there a bit with a bag full of water, snacks, tea. A very thoughtful and kind gesture. It was muggy that day and there was one AC and a couple of fans so we were all comfortable. Would return without a second thought.

The river view was beautiful, and the room was a comfortable size for our stay. However, we did notice that the cleanliness could be improved, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen areas. We were also given a "clean" towel that appeared to have a bloodstain, which was concerning. We hope these issues can be addressed, as the location and setting have a lot of potential.

This is a true motel. It is an older property with older fixtures however it is clean, freshly painted, the beds seemed new, the kitchen in working order. This is a great choice for those who are heading out or returning from camping. One weekday morning was quite loud with workers leaving starting at 4am. This motel is a good value. PS the river is hidden behind trees and hedges, so don’t expect a panoramic view.

Motel along the Way

Staff was very friendly. Not very nice and not enough towels. Reminded me a bit of the motels I used to stay in with my parents when I was small. But, as mentioned before, the staff was very nice,
