Claddagh Motel & Suites

Amazing little place. Beautiful ocean views and wonderful inn keepers. The room was so clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend this lovely place.

The Claddagh Motel & Sweets is a very charming little place with great owners that will go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to make your stay a comfortable one. We stayed here on the Thurs & Fri nights before the 4^th of July. This place is a little older but is very well maintained. It appeared that they had the Bathfitters come in and do the showers over as they looked very clean and new. Fresh paint and just the overall decoration of the room was very nice. The free WiFi worked great and was a nice extra.
Alex and Siobhan are super friendly and helpful. When I had made a small mistake in booking my 2 nights at different times, Alex called me and made sure we would be in the same room for both nights. The pool area was spotless and had many tables and lounge chairs to lay in. When I ran out of the packets of sugar and powdered creamer for our in room coffee pot, Alex made sure I had plenty of sugar and also offered my some half&half instead of the powdered creamer. That was so appreciated because we all know how bad that powdered creamer can be. We did not make the short walk to the walkway that leads down to the water but I was told by another guest that is was nice.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Rockport (only 10 mins. from Rockland) at a great price then the Claddagh is an excellent choice. Thank you to the Claddagh for a great mini-​vacation.
**** Don’t miss your chance (7−10AM) to check out the small breakfast offerings. The blueberry Irish scone was amazingly good!

Cozy, charming, comfortable, clean, older but very clean. I am a germaphobe (carry a black light) and it was spotless on investigation. The owners are a lovely couple who care about thier property. If you are looking for an amazing mom and pop locally owned place for singles or families this is it. Right in the middle of everything. 1 block through a short path to an amazing cove.

What a hidden gem! The owner was incredibly nice and helpful, the room was lovely and immaculate, and the beds were comfy. I wish I were in this neck of the woods more often, I would go back to this place in a heartbeat.

I recently stayed at Claddagh for four days. The weather was mostly rainy, so I spent more time in the room than I usually would have, but as the purpose of my visit was to dine in some of the area’s excellent restaurants, it didn’t much matter.
My single room was kept immaculately by the very helpful housekeeping staff. The buildings are very well maintained, and the cove is but a short walk away. The room was very small, but completely adequate for one — perhaps two if they’re really friendly.
My only negative is that the walls are a bit thin. I could hear the neighbors TV, though not loud enough to follow the news that seemed to be on.
I definitely will return. It’s an excellent value, particularly for the area.

I stopped in at this motel on my way to Bar Harbor, Maine and I’m glad I did. The room was very nice, clean and affordable for singles or couples. The owners are from Ireland and they have decorated the motel with Irish items like gnomes and shamrocks. I suggest you talk to Alex, he was hilarious and full of local knowledge. In the mornings they serve a continental breakfast, perfect for getting your day started. If you have time go to Camden State Park for the views from Mount Battie. It’s absolutely beautiful up there and you can drive your car up the mountain.
