I travel there on business occasionally and I have stayed here 3 or 4 times. Get a room on the water side, you can actually watch the tide come in and go out. Very nice. It has a nice back lawn and is pet friendly. The staff is great and the facility is very clean. The rooms need a little... More

I stayed at the MMI while bringing a giant traveling map to local schools. The room is comfortable, with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and free WiFi! It is very affordable and a short walk to Helen's restaurant, the place to get pie in Machias.

This is the only room I've stayed at EVER that had a coffee maker but no coffee. It isn't a great idea to stay in Rm 30-you get a view of the trash bin and 2 liquid gas tanks! Nice warm shower though.

I am sorry you did not find your accomodations satisfactory. We are a 38 unit motel and four of our units do not overlook the river. Room #30 is one of those rooms. However, that room did just receive a complete renovation with new flooring, countertop, bed and all new furniture. It features a new, flat screen television, refrigerator, microwave... More

We have stayed at the Machias Motor Inn many times over the last 10 years. This is a local motel, not owned by a chain. You won't have the cookie cutter rooms & lobby that I think everyone has come to expect. You will have a friendly greeting, a clean, comfortable room with a coffee maker, hair dryer, clock &... More

When my aunt passed away suddenly,we needed a place to stay near Cutler. On short notice they were able to get us a 2 br apartment for my mother and brother and I. The place was huge,with a nice view. We liked being able to walk to dinner at Helen's Restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

Perhaps I'm jaded as a frequent traveler, but I found my non-smoking room to be dusty and stinking of smoke. The room was reasonably sized, but the only window out of the room is a sliding glass door which opens to a balcony which all guests have access to. I, of course, didn't realize this until I opened the shades... More

Machias was simply a night stop for us on a longer journey, and the TripAdvisor reviews indicated this motel as a decent option. We were terribly disappointed, and felt the price was too high for the facility. Yes, the room was good sized, clean, and offered the usual amenities, but there was no continental breakfast (only motel on our 15-day... More

We rented the apartment, it was meticulous and the view from the porch of the river was charming we watched eagles, ospreys, comerants and seals fish - it was the most exciting thing in Machias. Very clean and kind service. Our kids enjoyed the pool at the university. Great location for finishing the Maine Island Trail.

Quality hotels along the northeast coast are expensive. I found that for the same price as a room with 2 queen beds in a 4-star hotel, I could stay in a 2-bedroom suite at Machias Motor Inn. I selected this location because it was between Bar Harbor, Maine and our destination in Canada. It is not far from the Canadian... More
