Yardarm Motel

The room had a musty/cleaner smell upon entry. The front door had gaps at the top and bottom that the light just poured in. Walls and paneling had areas that needed attention. Only a very thin fleece blanket and bedspread on bed. Bathroom fan did not work. Only had one tiny sink in the bathroom. Only had hooks on walls that coats kept falling off of, no closet. Nothing to put ones' suitcase on. Towels hung on rack over the toilet and no other hooks in the bathroom. They did provide lots of clean towels though. the room was very clean except for a couple spots that it looked like no one cleaned all season like behind the faucet. Definitely not worth the almost $200 per night that we paid for.

Easy checkin with text providing room and code to enter. Clean and spacious in comparison to other similar properties. Bathroom is okay though needs updated. Nice breakfast.

Yardarm was clean ,quiet and easily accessible. Owner and staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to stay!

Having debated between 3 in the area Yardarm distinguished itself by offering a continental breakfast. The more I read, the more there was to like. Rick was kindly welcoming and where I’d been playing a “beat Booking.Com’s rate” elsewhere, Yardarm’s webpage clearly showed the $ advantage of booking directly. The rate was the best-valued stay of our 6 in Maine. The bed was comfortable, our room was quiet despite windows that didn’t QUITE close, water was hot and water pressure strong and there were lights on both sides of the bed. Loved the breakfast room and the breakfast offerings.

Stayed five weekday nights. Their information on the website accurately described amenities. Overall a very positive experience as a base for exploring mid coast day trips. Pros: Right off route 1 so centrally located on the primary tourism highway. Room with fridge and microwave so you can enjoy leftovers for lunch or happy hour treats. Outdoor seating available. Comfortable beds. Homemade baked goods complement breakfast items. TV app enabled. Coded door lock great item. Cons: Like other vintage roadside inns outside lights stay on all night. Blackout curtains do a good job but not perfect. If sensitive to light while sleeping bring a sleep mask. Be aware coffee service is only available for a limited period in the AM. Dunkin Donuts across the road if needed.

Cute place, contactless checkin is nice. Coffee and goodies in morning. Enjoyed getting to know other guests.

Perfect for a quick visit to the area. The room was very clean. The communication from the motel was clear and explained exactly what I needed to do to access the room.

Lovely vintage motel. Reminded me of traveling when I was a child. Definitely not a fancy hotel, if that is what you were looking for. However, it was very clean and we had a nice stay with a beautiful view. Relatively close to Belfast, only a couple of minutes drive We never met any of the staff, because we had contactless rooms and we didn’t enjoy their breakfast, however, there were a lot of people that were partaking. We had plans with friends for breakfast in Belfast. That’s why we skipped it. Highly recommend staying here!

We had a restful stay and enjoyed the larger room size with a little table in the corner. A/C worked great but we also had our own little fan to help stir the air a bit. Enjoyed the historic atmosphere for a change of pace.
