Lakelawn B&B and Motel

What guests think

At Lakelawn B&B and Motel, reviewers describe a clean-but-dated historic property combining a Victorian house with classic motel rooms, convenient for the ferry and town, with generally friendly staff yet inconsistent upkeep, amenities, and reliability across rooms and seasons.

Many appreciate the quiet surroundings and the character of the Victorian house and classic motel layout. Common drawbacks include dated décor, very small showers and bathrooms, musty or moldy odors, no air conditioning in most rooms, and spotty Wi-Fi. Service is often warm and accommodating but can be hit or miss with limited office hours, lapses in housekeeping, and a basic continental breakfast that may be unavailable or minimal in the off season. Expect a simple, characterful stopover rather than a full-service stay.

We stayed here the night before taking the ferry to Bar Harbor and it was a perfect spot, just a 5 minute drive to the terminal. Old style motel with charm. Check-in was super easy and staff very friendly. Wish we had more time here and would stay here again if in the area. Only downsides were no AC (but a box fan and ceiling fan helped with that) and the bed against the wall so access only from one side or the bottom of the bed. Overall a nice experience.

It boasted a bed & breakfast, it was an old run down motel, with coffee ‘only in the office @ 7’ & cold muffins. Lawn was not kept, ate my dinner outside my room (because no air & the fan was terrible). My dinner guest was a spider hanging on her web. I think Charolette was eyeing my pizza. It could be very quaint, but a lot to do to the inside & outside. Blanket was very rough & old.

Lovely older motel. Room was very clean, with a decent sized mini fridge. Bed was a bit too firm for my liking, and the shower stall was ridiculously tiny. Nice breakfast with a decent selection of muffins, toast, cereal, oatmeal, orange juice, coffee and tea. Park just across the street and two very good restaurants within walking distance.

We have stayed in a wide variety/price range of rooms over 10+ years of road trips..but have not encountered a room w no curtains/ broken shades (2 types); outside lighting that no eye mask could conceal; dead spiders abounding; mud piles (?) in spots & a tv that required on-hand manipulation (remote useless) .. the unique odor was never identified & NO hair dryer topped off the next morning!

When we pulled back the covers to check the sheets (as we always do) one of the beds had wrinkled sheets that had obviously been slept in. There was also pubic hair. Called the phone number on the door (as the clerk had left by 8 although it stated they were open till !0). After talking to a nice lady who said she"d try to contact housekeeping it took 1/2 a hour for the clerk to show up. She checked bed and offered us a different room. She also suggested we talk to the morning staff about some compensation. The clerk said she could do nothing but she"d pass information on. So far we have heard nothing !! The breakfast that came with our room was the most basic I"ve ever seen. toast, 1 type of cereal, some tiny muffins and coffee. Would not recommend this Motel. No Value for the price.

We were last here in 2013. This year we stayed in room 19 and were disappointed. The bed was pushed against a wall, meaning one of us had to climb out. One window had a broken shade, the other had none. The shower was either HOT or COLD with no in between. There was molded grout outside the shower.

We wanted to stay in a historical building during our stay in Yarmouth and Lakelawn certainly met our wish! We stayed in the main building so certainly experienced the character of a place built in the 1860’s. Many period features still in place. The grounds next to the motel units though looked like they could use a little TLC. We wanted to express a specific thank you to the receptionist Ashley. She was very welcoming and helpful - had great suggestions on what to see and do. She also went above and beyond in helping us to sort out a storage issue for us. We felt she really demonstrated what great customer service should be! Thank you Ashley!

Great and classic motel close to the downtown. It was an older building but consists of a lovely old Victorian house and motel rooms. You can tell the staff works hard to make your stay comfortable- very clean, and a nicely laid out continental breakfast. Yes, it’s a little outdated, but if you’re looking for clean, affordable and unique accommodations walkable to the downtown, this is it!

On arrival we were told there was no breakfast as it was too early in the season. I had to ask for a kettle, which did not prove a problem, and was offered cups. In my opinion, they should have been in the room already, along with coffee, tea etc if breakfast wasn't being included with no price reduction. The wi fi worked if I sat outside the building, but was very poor inside and would keep cutting out. The shower was good!!
