We booked Sunrise Motel as a stop on the way home from northern Maine, mostly because it was really close to Kittery where we were going to stop.
Janet in the Motel office called us to see when we would arrive and made sure the AC was on and the room was ready for us. We arrived late and in the dark and Janet was welcoming and very helpful finding us a place that was open as it was right after Labor Day.
The room honestly was comfortable but very standard beach motel with a small kitchenette which was a surprise. Surprising too was the commotion I heard in rooms around me very early in the morning, I was slightly confused what was everyone doing? I opened my curtains and was greeted by the most amazing Sunrise shining beautiful orange light right into the room. There were numerous people out on the beach just beyond the parking lot to enjoy the Sunrise I could enjoy from my bed.
We realized we were right on a beautiful beach with a view of Nubble Lighthouse. Janet recommended a great General store a mile down the road which served delicious coffeee and breakfast sandwiches.
Janet surprised us again calling shortly after we left to let me know that I had left my toiletry bag in the room, she had it waiting in the office.
The sunrise and the kitchenette were great surprises, but the best surprise was lovely Janet at the front desk who made our stay memorable.

We stayed in room 10 and it was large and clean. Our room had two double beds, a full bath, a small table with 3 chairs, and a kitchenette with two burners, a microwave, a toaster, coffee maker, and small fridge. It was plenty of room for two adults and a toddler, including room for the pack and play we brought with us. The motel is older and doesn't have a lot of amenities, but every room faces the ocean, you could tell the rooms were renovated recently, and it is close to downtown short sands beach. My family enjoyed our stay and would come back for another weekend/long weekend. Overall, perfect for what it is intended to be.

The motel is very clean, beds are great, across from beach , views are ocean front. Tv stinks it’s a streaming service by Ruco some Chinese cable tv, pure Maine, no local tv , it’s so bad it became a joke. Yes this is Maine but only a half hour from Massachusetts line, cell phone leave at home one bar , people in Maine think cell towers will kill you , you know like wind mills. I go to Mexico twice a year , its about 20 year’s ahead of Maine .

Room was clean and staff was friendly, however.....we were put in room #1 which has the outdoor staircase on the other side of the wall, everytime someone was on the stairs it sounded like a herd of elephants were stampeding. The people in the room upstairs were noisy at all hours so there is no type of sound proofing in these rooms. They advertised free breakfast vouchers and when we got there we were told they didn't do that any longer.
There was absolutely no wi fi service although it is advertised. I would never recommend anyone stay there but if you absolutely must tell them you do not want room #1 . Oh and bring ear plugs.

We had an unexpected event that meant a very late arrival and they were so very accommodating. We arrived in the dark but I was told the easiest way to get to the room a couple of days prior to arrival which made it so much easier with weary travelers. As we arrived in the dark we were amazed when we woke and pulled back the curtain to the most amazing oceanfront sunrise. The deck was wonderful and the room was set up with a little kitchenette if needed. Everything was within walking distance and when we needed something the front desk ladies were great. There was such a nice old fashion charm to the hotel and we certainly will come back again!!!

I was very disappointed in my stay at Sunrise. The hotel advertised their policy of sanitation and cleanliness. Their drapes were covered with, what I believe, may have been mold. When making my bed the first morning I noticed a used Kleenex under the bed. We also had several plates and cups in the kitchen area, however, no silverware. When we returned used towels to the office, we requested clean ones. The attitude we received upon requesting these towels was “put out”. Totally unacceptable! I will not stay at this hotel again, ever!!!

Perfect location! This is at the south end of the beach and all rooms face the ocean - spacious, clean, & gorgeous views!! FYI - Check the tide tables and plan accordingly as the tide change was drastic. We are from NJ and used to moving our beach chairs a few feet back when the tide comes in. Here, the entire beach disappeared for a few hours. It was unexpected yet fascinating! Note: The manager/owner? was working between hotels so when we arrived it took a bit of time to find her to check-in. We had to go to the sister hotel property and literally track her down. Fortunately, many kind guests were repeat customers and able to guide us in the right location. I would suggest calling ahead of your arrival to make sure she is available at your arrival time.

This is a small but mighty place to stay!
This is not posh but pleasant. We had a small refrigerator and 2 burner stove(which we didn’t use), and ALL rooms have ocean views! There is a nice grass area for kids, nice picnic tables, and a few chairs for people watching. There was plenty of parking, and the office was ready to welcome and help. We will TOTALLY stay again if we are lucky enough to visit again.

We have visited this place many times and never had a problem until today. We drove up from New York for my husband's birthday. He was looking forward to relaxing in the jacuzzi bath in room 5 the room we always get with a king bed. We booked it in July and arrived today only to be told that they switched our room. Someone else was in room 5 and we were handed the keys to room 3. My husband checked us in and came back to tell me and I was so mad! We looked at room 3 and it was not even comparable. Two twin beds and a regualar bath. It smelled musty and there was a black beetle crawling on the bed! We were totally disgusted went back to the front desk and asked for a refund. The lady apologised and said if we come again tell them not to switch our rooms. We should not have to!! When we book room 5 we expect to get room 5 or at least let us know it had changed before we got here. We will not be back, you have lost us as customers. The manager apologised to my husband but still that is not good enough or good business practice to your loyal customers. Thankfully the York Harbour Inn down the street had vacancies and the room is lovely. I highly recommend it.

Location, location, location! Sunrise Motel is directly across the street from the ocean on Long Sands in York, ME. Although not directly on the beach, it is only a few minutes walk to a small beach area at low tide. The motel itself is a bit older but extremely clean and comfortable and the staff I met were all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend the second or third floors for the best views of the ocean as the first floor overlooks the parking area. (Stairs only; no elevator.) Really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return.

They don't. I remember the front desk clerk talking on the phone to a potential guest on the phone and he said they didn't take pets- I also just verified that on the motel's website.
