Schooner Bay Motor Inn

probably worst experience in accommodation in my entire life. Checked in late and envelope was taped to office door. Second floor room was a smoking room. as every other hotels were booked i had no choice . left my luggage in the car so not to pick up cigarette smell. had a stink in my nose until noon the next day. Bathroom floor was damp. 2 large dogs on first floor had a loud bark. will definitely drive by the next time.

Charming place. Perfect for the price. The room was super clean and comfy. Breakfast was a dream - the muffins were to die for! Town was beautiful, a bit cold but understandable because of the season. Lots of art galleries and beautiful natural scenery. Perfect escape from the city!

First the good: The room was clean, updated and breakfast was great. Nice landscaping. The Bad: Our room key was taped to the office door and no one was there to check us in. The room had a very smoky smell and we requested a non smoking room. I called the number on the office door and the owner was in Boston. I complained about the smell and he said he has no control on what other guests do in the room. (How about airing it out before we arrive??) I also needed more towels and he said to press 0 on the room phone and a lady in the house behind the hotel will help us with that. There was no answer till the morning at breakfast when I spoke to the lady in the office. There is no closet or hooks to hang anything. The shades are not dark and the porch light was on all night and made it difficult to sleep. We could hear someone on the other side of our wall in the bathroom that sounded sick. The key stuck in the door every time and we had a hard time pulling it out. The front window screen was bent and broke. The Air conditioner was very noisy and made it hard to sleep. There was a bottle cap stuck in the bathroom sink drain and no drain plug. The back of the bathroom door was very dirty but the rest of the room was clean. No mirror or dresser in the room. It cost us $265 to stay there and was not worth it! We would only recommend the breakfast! We were on our honeymoon and it was the worst place we stayed all week traveling through Maine.

There definitely needs to be "sprucing up" on the property, e.g. hole in a window screen, painting exterior areas. BUT, our room and bath were immaculate. Office staff was helpful and made checking in very easy, offering to let us see the room before booking when we arrived. I must mention the incredible breakfast buffet included with stay! Kelly Long is the chef who obviously loves what she does. She knows how to cook and bake! Here were some of her homemade offerings last week: four types of muffins (carrot, wild Maine blueberry, pistacio and one other), several types of quiche (I had the best spinach feta cheese quiche ever!), biscuits and gravy. Add bacon, homefries, scrambled eggs.... I could go on and on. Mind you, this is included in the reservation cost.

Odeur de cigarette horrible et tenace, problème connu par la personne de la réception et impossible de changer de chambre. Fenêtres brisées, stores partiellement brisés. Salle de bain délabrée, matelas dans un sale état. Insonorisation catastrophique, on peut suivre en direct ce qui se passe dans les chambres voisines ou celle au dessus.

Please BEWARE. This motel is not what the previous reviews indicate. The room was dark and drab and had spiders. There was a 1/2 inch space under the door where the sill and door did not meet. The door knob was loose and had clearly been accessed with some type of pry bar. I booked three nights in a specific room on the motel website and was placed in a different, substandard room. When I called the front desk to ask why, I was told I received the room I selected. I had the confirmation email w/me sent by Schooner Bay showing the room I selected and that they confirmed. The front desk clerk was angry, combative, argumentative and rude. I told him I would not stay in a room I did not book and wanted a refund. He told me there would be no refund and that it showed on his computer that I booked the room I was given. He said my confirmation email meant nothing - only his computer screen was right. When I asked to speak to the owner, the clerk gave me his card and said I could call him myself. When I called the number, it was the front desk. He had led me to believe that if I called that number, the owner would answer. I got nothing but the run-around and I believe I was not told the truth about several things. In fact, the clerk was so rude he hung up on me. We left without spending the night because we were so uncomfortable. The clerk was so belligerent that when I checked out, he refused to give me a receipt stating when I left. I have never seen any business run in this manner. Please, PLEASE, think twice before booking.
