I have been staying at the Norseman Inn and Motel for the past twenty plus years. It is the best value in the area, within easy walking distance to two restaurant pubs and less than ten minutes to Sunday River Resort. If you don't want to drive it is on the shuttle route which gets you just about everywhere in the area. The Cheney's, the owners, are very nice and helpful, trying always to accommodate there guests.

After a delightful drive through the "leaves" of New England, we happened on this lovely motel. Set in well kept grounds, with a most friendly and helpful owner, this was one of our favourite motels we encountered during our 10,607 mile drive around the US in your "fall". Set just out of town, it provided us with a quite and much needed rest. Recommended.

The Norseman has been my only choice for a good nights rest for many years now when skiing Sunday River. The owners Dale and John Cheney are always around to assist. One of the benefits I like when staying here is that if your room is empty and ready, you can check in and utilize it early in the morning. This comes in quite helpful after a long ride and very few hotels will do this for you.
The rooms are nice and clean with microwaves, fridges and plenty of channels on the cable TV. I always seem to stay in the renovated old barn section of the Inn on the back side.
Another advantage of staying here is there’s a pub on the next lot over, where one can get a great meal and beer. John keeps a shoveled path to the pub so one doesn’t have to walk out on the main road.
It was early in the season this trip, so I missed out on the continental breakfast but have enjoyed it many times before.
The rates are very reasonable (this time I think it came to around $62) and I’ve never been disappointed staying here.

We arrived late in the evening in a downpour. We'd been driving for 10 hours. The owner was behind the desk and despite their no pets policy, accepted our assurances our puppy would remain in his crate and would not be allowed out in the room. It was very considerate of her and we appreciated her flexibility. She recommended an excellent pub just down the road where we had a great meal and some wonderful English draft. We slipped into bed and never heard a thing until the next morning.
