My wife and I stayed here the night of Oct 7. We were scheduled 2 nights. Unfortunately the smell of mold/mildew caused us to leave early on Oct 8. When we arrived the windows were wide open and air conditioning was on high. Apparently, this was going to make it smell better? It didn't work. My wife could not breathe well enough to sleep. This was a black hole in an otherwise very enjoyable trip to Maine. DO NOT BOOK!!

It was awesome! The couple who run it are so nice! The room we had was cute. Very clean. They answered all our questions and recommended places that we would like. My husband and I stayed there for 9 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, that was in January. We would happily stay there again!!

Loved this quaint Irish themed motel! We had the cutest room for our 3 night stay. The room was very clean and nicely furnished. The grounds are well maintained and pretty. The continental breakfast was lovely....lots of choices and great coffee! If I was travelling in this area again, I would definitely stay here.

We loved our 2 bedroom suite with a spacious common area overlooking the pool. It was pretty hot during our stay, so the pool was a welcome relief. The breakfast was adequate and the location was perfect. We went into Rockland several times. It was a short drive to restaurants, museums, walking trails…We also drove to Camden, another short drive. I highly recommend the Claddagh Motel!

We've stayed here a few times while visiting friends over the years and I've always been pleased. On my most recent stay in June 2021 I was a little disappointed that the Irish gentleman (Alex I think?) whom I've always enjoyed running the place has moved on and now this motel is run by a new outfit. The Irish knick-knacks/decorations are still there, but the depth of genuine Irish charm has faded a without his friendly accent and influence.
On this visit we rented one of the two bedroom suites. I thought that one of the bedrooms would have two twin beds, but it didn't - slightly

We stopped here on our motorcycle ride up the coast, and wow were we lucky! What a great stay, from a very warm and friendly owner to the well appointed rooms, it was a perfect example of a wonderful small motel whose owners take meticulous care of their property. Excellent rooms for the price, with great showers, multiple tv channels, free wifi, very friendly owners (both he and his wife are from Ireland), and a wonderful continental breakfast. We couldn't have asked for a better overnight stay, thank you!

Absolutely blown away by this little hidden gem between Rockland and Camden. The moment you arrive you are greeted with sincere hospitality by the owner.
Our 2 bedroom unit was full of comfort, features and space! Memory foam mattress was amazing comfort and unexpected. TVs with plenty of entertainment choices. WiFi for when you need it (free). Verizon has strong LTE coverage here though.
We will be back!

What a great find on our way down Maine's coast. Exceptionally friendly hosts, spotlessly clean queen suite with a comfortable bed, full kitchen with plates/ utensils to use, accommodating living area and full bath, a little small but newly remodeled and it totally did the job!! Plenty of food at the continental breakfast. Overall, probably our favorite place to stay on this trip (including a Hampton and Comfort Inn. )

This place oozes charm and comfort. We checked in late one night and Alex, the owner, met us at the room to make sure we had food and everything we needed. Our room had two nice wingback chairs for relaxing. The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in at a motel/hotel. The tv had a good variety of channels. It was an incredibly comfortable room. I would love to come back here and stay for a week and just relax. It seems very peaceful and family friendly.

We stayed in the 2-bedroom apartment with living room and kitchen here for three days. The stairs up to it was a bit narrow and steep. The service by Mr. Gilmore the owner was very friendly and attentive, and the facility was extremely comfortable and well-maintained. The rooms are decorated in a pleasant "country" style and the beds were especially comfortable. In the apartment we had a nice view, a swimming pool next to us, and the motel office served a nice continental breakfast each morning. Free wi-fi- and a coffee maker in the kitchen. A CD player in the living room. Dishes

This is possibly the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. The owners are delightful, I enjoyed talking to them and the rooms are unlike any I've ever been in. The upgrades are those you make to your home new vinyl windows, a bathroom with a shower and tub anyone would want at home, and the beds have memory foam toppers and spreads with multiple pillow shams that a designer would use.
The grounds have multiple seating areas, real propane bbq's and a beautiful pool.
I would definitely come here again. They even have a continental breakfast.

Lovely place to stay with absolutely wonderful people as innkeepers - we would stay here again if ever in the area - rooms are clean, beds are really comfy, and the shower pressure was great ! Nice outside area set up, each room has their own table - the pool looked really nice and big - they had a grill for use - quick easy walk down to a cute little beach - check the tide schedule because it changes drastically - stay here you won't be sorry !

My husband and I stayed here during our New England road trip at the end of June. The Claddagh Motel & Suites was extremely well kept, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable (best motel bed EVER), but the real draw here is the people. Alex was charming, friendly, and helpful - and obviously takes pride in his motel. He was made us feel very welcome and provided a tour and suggestions for sites and food.
Breakfast was nothing special, but it filled us up. We didn't use the pool, but it looked very clean.
Our room was spacious enough and comfortable. There was a fridge and microwave

The Claddagh Motel & Sweets is a very charming little place with great owners that will go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to make your stay a comfortable one. We stayed here on the Thurs & Fri nights before the 4th of July. This place is a little older but is very well maintained. It appeared that they had the Bathfitters come in and do the showers over as they looked very clean and new. Fresh paint and just the overall decoration of the room was very nice. The free WiFi worked great and was a nice extra.
Alex and Siobhan are super friendly and helpful

Cozy, charming, comfortable, clean, older but very clean. I am a germaphobe (carry a black light) and it was spotless on investigation. The owners are a lovely couple who care about thier property. If you are looking for an amazing mom and pop locally owned place for singles or families this is it. Right in the middle of everything. 1 block through a short path to an amazing cove.

I recently stayed at Claddagh for four days. The weather was mostly rainy, so I spent more time in the room than I usually would have, but as the purpose of my visit was to dine in some of the area's excellent restaurants, it didn't much matter.
My single room was kept immaculately by the very helpful housekeeping staff. The buildings are very well maintained, and the cove is but a short walk away. The room was very small, but completely adequate for one - perhaps two if they're really friendly.
My only negative is that the walls are a bit thin. I could hear the neighbors TV, though

We stayed four nights in the family suite. On the plus side, Alex and Siobahn (sp? Sorry... I think I butchered your name) could not have been warmer or more welcoming. The room rate for a family suite was more than fair. The breakfast was great, the service top notch, lovely pool, and the accommodations mostly excellent. The bedrooms, kitchen and bath were all comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The furniture in the sitting room,, including the sleeper sofa, are probably due for an upgrade. This was the only miss in an otherwise great stay. Excellent wireless coverage as well...don&apos
