This was my second stay here, both times in the new section - a big double. It was very, very clean! The mattress was comfortable and the pillows were very fluffy for synthetic pillows. The bathroom was sparkling, the towels were thick, and the hairdryer had lots of power. Plenty of hot water, and excellent water pressure. It would be... More

I followed the advice of a worker in a local store, feeling exhausted after a very long drive. I was told there had been a fire and most of the room had been redone and were wonderful. I must have been put in the original section because my room was very care-worn. This is the first place I've stayed that... More

Well, i stayed here on business, it was great, clean,quiet, but the cleaning ladies woke me up on both occasions. The bar was a 1970 FLASHBACK! I think i even saw a Disco Ball! Maine is Maine...its not changing ,its the Mainland Alaska. The Staff were very friendly, and its hard not to smile! Great food across the street! More

I will start by saying this is not an overly populated area so there weren't a lot of options. the best part of this place was quick access to the highway and the canadian border. The hotel is directly across from a truck stop and is not in the least bit attractive. The hotel is pretty run down but the... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be a great place. The rooms in the front towards the road were very nice as are the suites next to the pool. very quiet, very clean, and reasonably priced. we looked at a room across the road, (can't remember the name), and it was not nearly as nice and...

I stayed at the Shiretown Motor Inn when I could not drive home due to a snow storm. I basically walked into the reception and asked for a room; being prepared for anything. The Shiretown Motor Inn turned out to be a real gem with a large room, spotlessly clearn, flatscreen TV, high speed Internet, Fridge, Microwave. The check in... More

My husband and I were driving back to Boston from New Brunswick, and stopped in Houlton, Maine overnight. The Shiretown Motor Inn is next to the Wal-Mart and the ubiquitous Tim Horton's coffee place. The room was large and clean, but absolutely chain-like, with no character. The front desk staff was not friendly. Instead of the adjoining restaurant, head to... More
