Guest Reviews
- Shannon P (10/5): - While the construction around the property may warn people off, don't be fooled. Very clean rooms, real mini-frig w/freezer, plenty of parking, anything you'd need in room and friendly staff.
- Tylene (8/5): - Room clean, temp stayed warm, friendly staff. Wasn't sure where to go to check in as they have front of motel being rebuilt and fencing put up. Office is not near the back rows of rooms. Not their fault, though.
- Valarie (10/5): - We had such a lovely stay at the Bluebird Motel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully kept, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that feels this inviting—we truly appreciated the care that went into making our stay so enjoyable.
- Dan Connie (10/5): - Great location and convenient parking. Modern heat pump.
- Laura (10/5): - Clean, cozy, comfortable room.
- Donald (10/5): - Undergoing some renovations but overall a very pleasant stay. Nice room and the shower was great.
- Mark (10/5): - Motel is under renovation, construction is present.
- Emily (8/5): - We had a clean room easy check in and all around good stay, we would stay again.
- Doris (10/5): Restful night - It was just for one night to rest before traveling home the next after visiting family on Saturday. Very comfortable room with a microwave and refrigerator. I have stayed there before and would most definitely stay again.
- Benjamin (10/5): - this was my second stay at the Bluebird Motel, great location, clean and quiet
- Marsha (10/5): - Clean large room. Comfortable bed. We were hungry lady in office recommended several restaurants. Choose one Helens. It was excellent. Only thing not pleased with was the ice machine was in office and our room was a long walk from it.
- Mari (10/5): Nice motel! - This motel is an older very well kept very clean place to stay. I was worried when I booked it, but the reviews were positive. They were not wrong!
- Jill (10/5): - Was very comfortable; best night sleep I have had in years. The hotel is still recovering from a fire. I look forward to staying there again.
- Jared (10/5): Great pitstop - Had a quick stop on the way to a hiking trip on the coast. We arrived late (a touch after 9), but the host was very good at communicating, and called personally to help with late check in instructions. We arrived to a very clean, pleasant room with a comfy bed. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again next time we're in the area.
- Marcel (8/5): - Typical motel, but clean. And walkable to a great breakfast.
- Henry (10/5): - Older motel but well maintained. Recent fire destroyed one of the three buildings but manager says a rebuild will be starting shortly.
- Sarah (10/5): - Easy to check-in, with a friendly owner, offers clean rooms and easy access to points downest.
- MICHAEL (10/5): - The room is perfect for us. Nice big.bathroom, outlets where you need them, comfy bed and all the normal amemities.
- Vera (10/5): - I gave excellent even though they have construction zone. They had a fire last DEC and lost 1 entire building. Can't give low stars for that. If one does, they are heartless Will stay again if the opportunity arises.
- Richard (8/5): - The bed seemed too firm at first, but we both slept well. It’s very handy to have a good breakfast option so close next door. The room was dated but clean.
- SHEILA (8/5): - The staff were very pleasant and helpful with our booking. The room and the beds were in comfortable. They are doing some work on the grounds in front of the motel.
- Chloe (10/5): Perfect stop on family roadtrip - Very calm you don’t hear the road. Roomy and confortable, the beds are good. I recomend also the breakfast at the gas station (Tom’s) and for dinner, the West Branch restaurant a few miles away
- Bonnie (8/5): - Fine and affordable for one night passing through. Glad that part of the iconic motel survived the fire and happy to support the Bluebird.
- Shilo (10/5): - Quaint property. Air conditioner worked well.
- Verified traveler (6/5): $habby - A bit pricey for a kind of shabby place, but there is not much competition, so I suppose that is their perogative!
- Robert (10/5): - Met needs for a motel stay. Room was clean , bed was comfortable, a little dated but well maintained
- Jeffrey (8/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean but is showing its age

- Gale (6/5): - A very plain room, zero emenities - except a coffee maker in the room.
- Kristopher (10/5): - Decently sized room. Very clean. No rugs. Staff was polite and responsive. Pillows and bed weren’t 5 star comfort but they weren’t rock hard and you can still get a decent night rest on them.

- Vonda (10/5): Never disappointed! - Our go to place when visiting Machias.
- RICHARD (10/5): - everything was good.
- Lura (10/5): - Highly accommodating and friendly front office (ex: let me do an early check in and called me when it was ready). The room was excellent - took me a little while to get used to the lower ceilings, but once you realize it's a snug hobbit hole, it's fantastic. There are lights all over the rooms, including USB chargers on them. No drafts, warm with adjustable heat (good for December in Maine). Shower pressure is top notch!
- Steven (10/5): - Best option between Ellsworth and Calais.
- Karen (10/5): - Very comfortable!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel staff was rude
- Jay (10/5): - Standard room, comfortable bed, fridge, microwave. Would stay here again
- Susan (6/5): - Noisier than most motel rooms. Could almost always hear running water (even though there was no one in the next room). Lots of outside noise.
- Susan (6/5): - Average motel room. Mini Fridge was larger than most.
- Dawn (10/5): - Would stay there again.
- David (4/5): - Immediately the smell of a bug bomb
- Mary (6/5): - Very dated, but adequate.
- Suzanne (10/5): - This motel was perfect for my husband and I. A nice clean, easy to access from road, affordable and comfortable beds. Reasonable price and friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - An older property which could do with some updated. It was quiet. but was fine for one night on our way north.

- William (10/5): - Old school motel has been very well preserved and offers clean, quiet, and well-equipped rooms at reasonable prices.
- Brian (10/5): - The property is nicer than it looks in the pictures. Bed Linens and towels appeared new. Had refrigerator, microve, coffee in room. Nice store/ restaurant is right next to it.
- sharon (10/5): - Older establishment, but clean
- Nicole (6/5): - The parking lot needed paved, the carpet is bunched and when someone walks across the floor you can feel it all over the room. The television and channels were great. The surrounding companies including the hotel do not stay open very late so please beware of that.
- CAROL (6/5): - Very dated and run down. Very nice check in person.
- Michael (8/5): - The Bluebird was adequate for a one night stay. The rooms are a little dated. Light could be seen around the door to the room. The bathtub faucet was dripping and couldn’t be stopped. Aside from that the room was clean and comfortable.
- RONALD (4/5): - We had a two night stay. I would give it a two on cleanliness. Several people sitting outside in the evening smoking dope. We had a room in back section. There was a Schwan’s frozen food truck parked right outside our door. Freezer cycled on and off all night. When I talked to office. Was told they paid for that spot and electricity. Our room should never have been rented out with the truck parked there. Even the maid said it was noisy all of the time. Advice, try to find another place.
- Nichole (8/5): - Basic room but clean and comfortable, and reasonably priced.
- Louise (6/5): - The motel was fine
- SUSAN (10/5): Super nice place - Super nice and updated furnishings.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Not bad - Good location for staying in Machias, downeast Maine area. Decent sized room and very comfortable bed, just not the cleanest. Very outdated, old nasty carpeting but not bad for a few nights stay.
- Vonda (10/5): We stay a couple times a year - Super friendly service. Shower has great pressure. Beds are on the firm side but no bed is as good as the one at home! Clean.
- Deborah (10/5): - The room was clean, and the staff was friendly. Everything we wanted for a one night stay.
- Mary E (8/5): - A nice motel that was quite comfortable.
- Deborah (10/5): - The staff was friendly and welcoming and the room was spotless.
- Gary (10/5): - It’s a convenient and clean place to stay in the Machias area
- Stephen (10/5): - I love good Mom and Pop motels and these guys are great. Everything in the room was great, very comfortable, and they have gallon ziplocks right on top of the ice machine. That's super service right there. Thank you!
- Susan (8/5): - I stayed 2 nights and most appreciated the comfy bed and hot shower. The motel shows its wear and tear but it was fine for a place to sleep.

- Adrienne (10/5): - Quaint, centrally located, comfortable for a quick stay!
- Benjamin (10/5): - This is probably one of the smaller motels that I've stayed at, however, it was also surprisingly quiet (considering it was a packed house, I didn't hear a peep from my neighbors 👍) the rooms are well maintained, very clean and the person who greeted us was very friendly and answered a lot of our touristy questions. I booked two rooms as I was traveling with my folks (who snore) and we all had a good night's sleep! Definite recommendation for anybody looking for a good stop on a long drive :)

- David (8/5): - Tom's is a decent nearby restaurant for breakfast.
- Alan (10/5): - This throw back motel is worth all the positive reviews. Room was comfortable and quiet, local favorite restaurant next door.
- Lee (10/5): - We needed a place to stay for an event in the area. It was clean and functional for our one night stay.

- Ryan (10/5): 10 of 10 - Super clean and very comfortable. Definitely recommend staying

Updated amenities where needed and older stuff taken great care to keep clean and serviceable. Very comfortable bed quietest AC I’ve ever experienced. Perfect stay. Definitely would stay again and would recommend to others.
- Evangeline (10/5): - Very clean and beds are comfortable
