We really enjoyed our stay at the Scoodic Motel. The owners went above and beyond, were super helpful and most generous! Our room was big, set up well and included everything we needed. Cleanliness?? It was impeccable! And invited to having a complimentary cup of coffee in the office (with our own breakfast stuff) was a nice way to start our day. We would highly recommend staying at the Scoodic Motel. And let the hardworking owners know how happy you are too.
Great spot to stay right by the border, friendly service and the room was super clean and comfortable - excellent value for the price. Was also very quiet in the room, I couldn’t hear other rooms or outside noises (which isn’t always the case at motels). Had a relaxing night and got a great sleep, couldn’t ask for more!
Coming NB from USA and this was a perfect spot to rest for the night. The host worked great with us, as we were arriving very late!! Our rooms were all very clean, very comfortable.
Stayed here overnight. Great price, great CLEAN room. Super friendly host, comfy bed. Quiet location. Just across the USA/ Canada border.
Very friendly staff and exceptionally clean room! High quality bed linens, plush towels, and super comfy beds. Would absolutely stay here again when in the area.
It's the perfect motor lodge to stay. The property is beautifully maintained and well cared for. Furnishings and furniture are very nice. Clean, clean, clean. Large flat screen TV, great size dorm refrigerator, microwave. Heat and air work great. Easy parking and in and out. Small bag of ice is available from the office. Coffee and tea available from 8-10 am in the office. Outside seating available. Quiet area, too. Family owned and operated by hard working people. Would definitely recommend this lodging.
Scoodic Motel is a fabulous little motel. Fancy? Nope. But, it's clean, safe, tidy and in good shape. Daniel was friendly and easy to make the reservation with. Call and make the reservation. Pay on check in. And, we accidentally left four cards from a wallet. Daniel called me about after we'd left and ran them out to the car when we drove back. This place is a hidden gem... Just what we needed after a long day of driving on a long trip.
I stayed at this hotel last weekend, and I can't recommend it enough. For an inexpensive place, the quality was top-notch. The rooms were fresh, and seemed newly updated, giving a welcoming vibe. What really stood out was the attention to detail from the owner, such a kind and thoughtful person. My buddy and I rode up on our motorcycles and in the morning we found washcloths thoughtfully placed on our handlebars to wipe the dew off our seats. Little gestures like this truly matter. Great value, great hospitality, and an all-around fantastic experience! 5 stars!
