Sunset Beach Motel

Overall, this was a generally nice, very affordable, place to stay. The buildings themselves as well as the rooms could use a face lift, but all in all it was a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay. The view of the water was a little disappointing. It was still beautiful, but it definitely wasn’t a grand view of the ocean. Unfortunately while we were there, the weather wasn’t the best so we couldn’t take advantage of the pool, kayaks, and other fun vacation-​y activities available (at very reasonable prices, too). The owner of the place was incredibly nice, and made our stay very enjoyable.
My biggest complaint is that there really isn’t much to do in this area. The closest restaurant is about ten minutes away, and anything else is at least a 30 minute drive away. It’s a very quiet town, which if that’s what you’re looking for, then you’ll love it! My other complaint is the lack of wi-​fi… which in these days is a little silly. We were unable to find anything online as far as restaurants or things to do unless we left the Motel.
Thanks for a nice, quiet, relaxing stay!

On my second night of a 2 night stay, place was great for the price. Short drive to downtown boothbay. The outside seems dated but the insides are great! My in-​laws stayed in a more modern area with a stove and coffee maker but my fiancée and I were content with the basics… The view is beautiful from the room and there is always a nice smell of sea water when outside. There is a small beach here and a pool… Pool is nice, goes up to 8 ft deep. Only room for improvement is to maybe clean up the building a little more that’s all. Office staff is friendly and hospitable defiantly recommend… Will stay here again if possible next time up this way…

For the price we paid (we had a Groupon which worked out to be about 89 bucks a night), we weren’t expecting much. This place was much nicer and more comfortable than I had anticipated. I’ve stayed in dives and in luxury hotels, and as long as you have reasonable expectations, you will not be disappointed staying here. It’s a rustic-​ish resort in Maine, right on an inlet in Boothbay and a short drive away from the town center. My husband and I spent a long weekend there for our anniversary with our dog, staying in the Lobster Lodge building back in late June. Sure, the bathroom was a little dated and the small CRT TV looked hilarious compared to the flatscreens that are everywhere now, but we were on vacation and I wasn’t there to watch TV. It was a comfortable and clean room and I don’t have any noise complaints to speak of. It may have been because it wasn’t terribly packed when we went, but any hotel, no matter how luxe, is never going to be completely soundproof, especially when it comes to stomping children.
I have no idea what the previous review is referring to with the «paths» no being passable. I didn’t see any paths that led anywhere and with the dog, I covered the entirety of the property at least 30 times during the 3 days we were there (he’s picky when doing his business). There were some families, couples and a whole bunch of dogs there and everyone of them seemed to be having a great time. The place has a pool, kayaks and small boats but the weather wasn’t conducive to those activities when we stayed. We had no problem with the internet but rural and coastal Maine in general is not known for it’s high-​speed capability due to the overall lay of the land there. The sunset was gorgeous every night, which is probably why they named this place what they did. For the price, location, and dog-​friendliness, we’ll be back eventually.

The star is for the view of the water. I would not recommend this place. It is run down and sorely in need of a paint job. I felt like I was visiting a place that, at one time, was nice but that has been forgotten about. The paths were not passable because of overgrown bushes, the Internet was non existent and the building was so old. So old that the kids in the room above us could be heard and felt running back and forth… all, the time. Pure misery!
We stayed one night and only because we were too tired to go home the same day we arrived. Stay away from this place!
