“Super comfy beds in an immaculate room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

We stayed in a deluxe King room which had a fridge and coffee maker, TV, and alarm clock. (The standard rooms do not have the fridge and coffeemaker and are a bit smaller.) All the rooms at this motel have been renovated. The one we were in was renovated three years ago and still looks great. The hardwood floors have been refinished and there were clean, decorative area rugs. The mattress and linens were excellent - pristine white and very luxurious and comfortable - comparable to a Marriott or other higher level property. The lighting was warm and more than adequate. The bathroom was smallish, but bright and clean with complimentary toiletries and plush towels. (I don't remember a hair dryer, but maybe there was one in the under-sink cabinet.) The A/C worked well. Keys are used, rather than key cards, and and the reception is at the restaurant next door. The location is right on the highway, but I didn't notice any road noise except in the morning right before we checked out. It's a very quiet area. If you want a clean, comfortable room, this is a great value. It is a basic motel, but the attention to detail in the rooms makes it a very pleasant stay.

“the baits motel was perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2009

I just got home from a two night stay with friends at the Baits Motel. We were in Searsport for a wedding and booked a room at Baits because the hotel the rest of the wedding party was staying at was booked. We were bummed at first, but after calling around to various other motels in the area, the Baits had the cheapest rates, and so we settled on it, unsure of what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! When we arrived the staff was more than friendly and accomodating, and the room we booked was one of their 99$ suites, and couldnt have been more nicely decorated, spacious, and cute! It was way more than we had hoped for. We had a fridge, microwave, coffee, cocoa, two tv's, comfortable beds, enormous bathroom, plenty of towels, shampoo etc. My only regret is that we didnt get a chance to eat in the Anglers restaurant which is right next door literally, but it had to be great considering the parking lot was always pretty full, and the food smelled amazing! I would definitely recommend the Baits motel to anyone who is looking to save a buck while being ensured hospitality and comfort :) Thanks to the Baits Staff!

“loved it all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2008

my mother and i stayed at the baits motel for 8 days. i have never met a nicer group of people. everyone is so kind and friendly. the rooms are fantastic and you always have everything you need, let me tell you the anglers restaurant is also owned by the same people. the meals are fantastic and very large portions. if anyone leaves the restaurant hungry something is wrong. my favorite person of all is the owners daughter amy she is a doll , so kind and friendly we havent met anyone quite like her. the stay was absolutely. fantastic. i cant wait to go back. thank you to everyone. sincerely jeffrey fieldsand mother lois fields from torrington ct.

“Not Where You Want to Be...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2007

A motel nearby recommended a stay here because of an overbooking situation. I understand some renovation has occurred in this motel recently, and there may be other rooms that have received attention, but the one occupied was awful. The bedspread was pilled and dirty, the door has glass panes and the curtain wasn't opaque. The bathroom was extremely small - no elbow room in the tin-like shower and the vinyl wasn't cut properly around the toilet base. There was a multi-outlet extension cord from the window unit to the plug. In short, this is nowhere you want be...
