What guests think
At Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites, travelers frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, convenient location near beaches and restaurants, and practical touches like kitchenettes, grills, and laundry, while noting that many units feel older despite some refreshed spaces.
Rooms are generally clean and spacious but basic, with several reports of very firm mattresses, occasional odors or maintenance quirks, thin walls or street noise in certain units, and exterior stairs that can be challenging for some guests. Facilities draw mixed feedback: guests like the pool, hot tub, and grills, yet mention cloudy or cool water, a green hot tub at times, and other small shortcomings such as no ice or sporadic Wi‑Fi. Service is widely described as responsive and helpful, though a few guests experienced impersonal contactless check‑in, trouble reaching staff, room‑type mix ups, or rare last‑minute cancellations. Expect a simple, value‑minded stay with strong location and staff, but variable room comfort and facilities.

Had a great stay at the Carriage House. The pool was warm and inviting and there was a surprise hot tub that was lovely. The hotel staff was kind and inviting. Only issue was there was no shower curtain in the bathroom and despite leaving a message we never received one.

The property was quiet and nice. The room was nice as well except for the extra firm beds, the vent in the bathroom had layers of dust like it had never been wiped down, small bits of trash left behind from previous person was behind the table between the beds. Getting into the hot tub was difficult because of the cover and no clear instructions on how to open it. Nice gentlemen who works there helped open it for me after seeing me struggle. Kids enjoyed the pool. It was convenient to food and the beach.

The bathroom and kitchenette was nicely updated, AC is unit worked well. I also like that there were 2 grills available to use on the property, although only one was hooked up to a propane tank. Beds are quite firm, too much to my preference.

No working ice machine. Slow drain in shower (and kitchenette sink). Tub needs to be scrubbed. Roku tv, ergo, no local news, or network tv. Green water in hot tub. Excellent internet.

1) Unfortunately, on the 1st full day of our vacation as I was heading to my car I stepped into a 10" wide divot in the parking lot, badly turning my right ankle and scraping my left knee. I believe it was the owner of rhe motel who came over to me. He apologized. But, a week went by and the divot was never filled in. I ended up with a sprained ankle and an avulsion fracture on the inside ankle bone. I was given crutches & an order to follow-up with an orthopedic doctor once I returned home. 2) The pool was cloudy a lot of the time. You could never smell chlorine nor did I ever see a staff person adding chemicals or cleaning it at any time day/night. 3) No one on staff was available on Saturday late afternoon to retrieve toilet paper. I used my roll of papertowels for toilet paper. I did leave a voicemail and toilet paper was found outside my room's door on Sunday a.m. 3) The Wifi was repeatedly going in & out in the evening during the week's stay. 4) The shower curtain was dirty all along the bottom with both black mold and water stains. Unfortunately, the property was not what I remembered it to be from a few years back. The host I originally spoke to during the winter was kind in allowing us to change our vacation dates after I had already put a deposit down for a different week (July). Thank you for that.

Hot tub was running but the temperature was room temperature day one and only slightly warmer day 2. Too cold to use and we were very disappointed as this was a prime reason for selecting your location. I met Betsy and she was very helpful with information and was fun to talk with.

We arrived to find our unit unlocked and door wide open. We had been emailed the entry code prior to arrival. No one was in the unit but it was disconcerting as to why would the door be wide open. Nothing was disturbed and unit was very clean so we entered and settled down. After a long day of travel we were not feeling up to a long restaurant wait time (even take out pizza had a 90 minute wait for pickup) so we opted for a microwave meal from the market just down the street. TV was small but worked fine. In the morning the coffee maker wasnt working properly and shot water all over the shelf it was on so I called the office and a new coffee maker was delivered in just a very few minutes. Great service. Other than that we didnt see or need any staff member. the tip envelope was used and had scribbles but it still opened in back so we could leave a tip for the room person who did a great job cleaning the room- it was very tidy. location of our unit #24 was the closest to the street so road noise was there -especially the motorcycles roaring by on the main road so if you want quieter go for a lower number unit as that will put you further from the street. There was coffee and tea available in the room, as well as 1 large dinner plate, 1 fork, 2 knives, 2 smaller plates, 2 small mugs. This was convenient and unexpected. Mattress was OK, not great but not horrible. Bedding was decent & clean. Safe, reasonably priced, fit our needs this trip so we'd book again if in the area

This motel was so run down… Old furniture in the rooms, my room had a musty / dog smell and stains on the bedspread. The pool was definitely not heated and the concrete was cracked. They don’t clean the rooms at all - to keep costs down is what I was told! yet there was an envelope for a tip for the maid - I won’t stay here again

Very nice studio in a historic building. Only downside was we were in the carriage house which required climbing a long outdoor staircase. A bit difficult and would have been good to know ahead of time. Studio was spotless and very thoughtfully appointed with kitchen essentials for simple meals. We only stayed one night but it would be a great place for an extended stay. Super comfortable bed. Staff was very nice and even offered a future discount for a small problem that occurred. Overall, would highly recommend, but request ground floor if mobility is an issue. They also have cute cabins!

Rooms
Rooms are basic and somewhat dated, though some units are refreshed; mattresses skew very firm, noise can travel through thin walls or from the road, and some upstairs units require long exterior stairs.

Let me start by saying the owner was very nice and went above and beyond to accommodate my need of a room with 2 beds as after booking a 2 bed room it was actually a bed and sofa bed. The room was very spacious and clean. It had a nice kitchenette with plates, silverware ect. The one problem that was a big problem for me was the bed felt like i was sleeping on concrete. Ive honestly never slept on a more uncomfortable bed. If they change their mattresses I'd would definitely stay there again.

When we arrived we couldn't find our room #27. It was not marked and after searching we had to call the motel person. The room was up a steep flight of outside steps which should have been mentioned when booking. At 78 we struggled with suitcases.

Room had a kitchenette, which was nice. It’s an older style motel with things like uneven floors and older furniture. One thing that was annoying was the smoke detector flashing a blue light on the bed multiple times a minute.

Property was very good, only issue was that our room reservation was for a room with a queen bed & a double bed and the room they gave us only had a queen bed with fold out couch. Pictures showed room with queen and double beds. We called the office to see if we could get what we booked and she told us they were sold out & completely full & she could not help us. She said Expedia call a bed plus a sofa 2 beds. This was misleading and disappointing.

So pleasant to walk into the hotel room and smell fresh, clean air and to see everything tidy neat and spacious. Very happy with this hotel and the manager, Chris, went above and beyond to answer our questions and help us out when we needed something. Wonderful, thick towels and plenty of them. The little Kitchenette was well stocked and very helpful and even included a hot plate! The beds were also super comfortable. We will definitely be returning to stay there!

I purchased a one night stay at the Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites in Wells, Maine on expedia, never asking for a dog friendly room. When I arrived, I was assigned a dog friendly room and was charged an added $30. The office was closed, so I wasn't able to speak to anyone regarding this issue. I have the original confirmation from Expedia, showing the price without the added dog friendly room. I do not have a dog..

1) Unfortunately, on the 1st full day of our vacation as I was heading to my car I stepped into a 10" wide divot in the parking lot, badly turning my right ankle and scraping my left knee. I believe it was the owner of rhe motel who came over to me. He apologized. But, a week went by and the divot was never filled in. I ended up with a sprained ankle and an avulsion fracture on the inside ankle bone. I was given crutches & an order to follow-up with an orthopedic doctor once I returned home. 2) The pool was cloudy a lot of the time. You could never smell chlorine nor did I ever see a staff person adding chemicals or cleaning it at any time day/night. 3) No one on staff was available on Saturday late afternoon to retrieve toilet paper. I used my roll of papertowels for toilet paper. I did leave a voicemail and toilet paper was found outside my room's door on Sunday a.m. 3) The Wifi was repeatedly going in & out in the evening during the week's stay. 4) The shower curtain was dirty all along the bottom with both black mold and water stains. Unfortunately, the property was not what I remembered it to be from a few years back. The host I originally spoke to during the winter was kind in allowing us to change our vacation dates after I had already put a deposit down for a different week (July). Thank you for that.

We booked in February 2023 for a cottage in July, We received a confirmation. We reserved Cottage #2, as there was 3-4 of us staying for the week, and felt like we needed the extra space a cottage would give us. We arrived a little late for check in and were a little worried because all cottages seemed taken. My husband went to check in. No one at the service desk. Message board left phone number to call. He called and got an answering machine. I went in to service desk, and also tried calling the number and got the machine. I did get a call back. Management stated they had us in Room # (whatever it was). I told her we booked a cottage and a room would not work for us. We had beach supplies for our two grandsons, and had just picked up groceries for the week (about $200.00 worth)! Apparently that was all they had left. She said I must have booked the room last year, and they were new owners. However, It had only been 5 months since I booked the cottage. You can imagine the difficulty we had trying to find a place to stay, near the beach, in the middle of summer. We had no luck. That was the end of our vacation. We ended up driving back home, almost three hours away. Seems to me that the new owners wanted the $$ from visitors, but weren't interested in giving any customer service. Terrible way to run a business! If I could have left a "0" for a rating I would have. See my rating for our 2022 vacation there.

We arrived to find our unit unlocked and door wide open. We had been emailed the entry code prior to arrival. No one was in the unit but it was disconcerting as to why would the door be wide open. Nothing was disturbed and unit was very clean so we entered and settled down. After a long day of travel we were not feeling up to a long restaurant wait time (even take out pizza had a 90 minute wait for pickup) so we opted for a microwave meal from the market just down the street. TV was small but worked fine. In the morning the coffee maker wasnt working properly and shot water all over the shelf it was on so I called the office and a new coffee maker was delivered in just a very few minutes. Great service. Other than that we didnt see or need any staff member. the tip envelope was used and had scribbles but it still opened in back so we could leave a tip for the room person who did a great job cleaning the room- it was very tidy. location of our unit #24 was the closest to the street so road noise was there -especially the motorcycles roaring by on the main road so if you want quieter go for a lower number unit as that will put you further from the street. There was coffee and tea available in the room, as well as 1 large dinner plate, 1 fork, 2 knives, 2 smaller plates, 2 small mugs. This was convenient and unexpected. Mattress was OK, not great but not horrible. Bedding was decent & clean. Safe, reasonably priced, fit our needs this trip so we'd book again if in the area

I liked staying here. It has what I like the most: easy access to and from the car, hot water and cleanliness. We loved the quick access to the beaches and to the restaurants either in Wells or Kennebunk. I would come again - in fact I will be back in Autumn.

It was very clean though daily housekeeping wasn't available which was fine with us. The only issue we had was no hot water for a night or two but when I mentioned it to staff it was quickly sorted out.

It was all keyless check in and check out. The room was okay, but there were cob webs, hair in the tub drain, and a tooth flosser pick on the floor. We never saw management or office personnel in the 3 days we were there. These were not serious issues, so we did not reach out to management, but we would probably look for another place when returning to Wells.
