Pamola Motor Lodge

Old motor lodge in economically depressed area, AC did not work well, no screens on window, just outdated - the kind of place you stay at when passing through, put your head down and leave the next morning - that is what I did after a week of hiking at Mt Katahdin so it lived up to expectation

Great

Roaches in the room, floor dirty and sticky, ac filthy,crack in door to patio was large enough to see out of. Bar and restaurant had not been open in years.

We knew the hotel was looked run down but this was worst then imaginable. The gentleman at the desk gave us a room with a “view” (look at the pictures).

Hotel is overpriced and offers no amenities for a cost per night at the rate of hotels in larger areas. Maintenance of room interiors over time has fallen behind and needs major overhaul. I will not stay here again.

When we arrived we saw a sign that stated the property was being sold. I was greeted by a man who said the new owners had just arrived. The hotel is very run down and in need of an update. Plug ins didn’t work but the room was clean for the condition. It’s been leaking, holes in the wall and tape to cover rips in the carpet etc. The person who checked me in was very nice and stated the hotel was closing and going into new ownership the next day. It made us feel weird to be the only ones staying for the night. Hopefully the place will get a makeover because it’s in a beautiful location.

I want to start by saying that i have been coming to the Pamola since the 90's and i have seen it death spiral since. When we arrived there were "Poperty AUCTION" signs all over the front of the establishment, we went to check in and the office area was abandoned, there was a sign that said to go to the restaurant, which was closed and abandoned also, there was a phone number to call, nobody answered at first and when he did he said he'd be right there 20 minutes later (96 degree heat) he showed up and told us to pay no attention to the signage, "The property was sold". It breaks my heart to see the state of the Pamola in Millinocket.

This is an old-fashioned motel. It's pretty dated and lacks modern amenities. However, it was clean, convenient, the bed was comfortable and Chris, the owner, was extremely responsive. If you find yourself in Millinocket, I would definitely recommend it.

Clean and tidy.

Everything is dated, room price for the night was a bit of price-gouging due to the marathon tomorrow.
