Best Western Mermaid

Give it 2.5 stars if we could. We spent the night here before departing on the wonderful Nova Star ferry service to Maine. (Check out our review of the Nova Star please.) The motel does not have interior corridors, which we much prefer for reasons of safety and privacy. It also shows its age, but the smallish rooms are quite comfortable and surprisingly quiet. The motel advertises it is within walking distance of the ferry terminal; more precisely it’s a less than five minute drive. It is, however, less than a minute walk from KFC and McDonalds, if that counts for you. The front desk staff doesn’t show much personality, but let’s face it – we were here for convenience so we were close to the terminal. That worked — but we think the motel is pricier than it ought to be given the age.
