What guests think

Rooms are generally comfortable with basic amenities like fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, though décor is older and some find spaces small or layouts dated. Cleanliness earns frequent compliments, with several guests calling rooms spotless, while a handful mentioned odors or isolated issues. There’s no on-site breakfast, yet many appreciated the restaurant and convenience store next door and the motel’s handy base for Machias, UMaine, and the Down East coast. Expect a simple, well-kept roadside stay with warm service and convenient basics.

Room clean, temp stayed warm, friendly staff. Wasn't sure where to go to check in as they have front of motel being rebuilt and fencing put up. Office is not near the back rows of rooms. Not their fault, though.

Basic motel setback from road. Easy, friendly checkin. Room clean with comfortable beds, room for reading chair, chest of drawers, small refrigerator with microwaves on top. Small but adequate bathroom. Fine for a onenight stay.

The Bluebird Motel isn't fancy but it's clean and comfortable. As the only hotel within an easy drive of Eastport and Lubec that will take a dog it's a good choice for pet owners who want to visit the northernmost coast of Maine..

While the construction around the property may warn people off, don't be fooled. Very clean rooms, real mini-frig w/freezer, plenty of parking, anything you'd need in room and friendly staff.

Had a quick stop on the way to a hiking trip on the coast. We arrived late (a touch after 9), but the host was very good at communicating, and called personally to help with late check in instructions. We arrived to a very clean, pleasant room with a comfy bed. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again next time we're in the area.

Headed to Machias to tour the UMaine campus. I was reluctant at first because there were not many hotel options so we went with the Bluebird Motel. We were pleasantly surprised when we got there. Extremely clean and friendly service at check-in. Beds were comfortable. There are some amenities offered in the main office. Convenience A+… you can pull your car right up to your room and the UMaine campus is couple minute drive down the street. It is located a short distance from a McDonald’s, Walgreens, grocery store.

This is a decent place. The room was very clean but in need of a major makeover. Everything is outdated… I understand that this motel suffered a devastating fire a year or two ago and there is lots of work going on in the front of the building we were in. Hope when they complete the rebuild, they will update the older rooms. But overall, I’d stay there again.

This is an old fashioned motel, wonderfully clean and many things updated. We needed a basic room for the night and it served us well. The area is quiet and convenient to get in to town in a couple minutes. A/C, hot water were plentiful, room is good sized, and appliances worked as needed. We would choose this spot again.
