It's a simple place that does the job. I do have to say that while many similar places in the cities would likely be trashy, this hotel is well-kept and quiet. There's a good chance you'll see a few cats roaming around the lobby. Don't let them out of the lobby. Owner's request. Front desk doesn't appear to be staffed around the clock so make sure you get in at a decent hour. We got in at 10:30 which worked out. Don't expect good views from the room. Again, a no-frills hotel. If I'm crazy enough to hike Katahdin again, I'll book this place again as well.

Reasonable, clean and great in between spot to stay if you're looking to visit Baxter State Park and Katahdin National Monument. Was surprised and glad there was a small microwave in the room. Also, the windows open so you can breath fresh Mountain air all night and it is quiet!

I'm a Real Estate investor (@sergii_real_estate) in different state and I was pleased with a service and quality of this hotel. All the staff was welcoming and they worked out with me all my inquiries. Owner did and keep doing great job maintaining this place. Sauna was huge plus for me. Great experience.

The room was roomy and clean. The staff were friendly and most of all, they came and made up our room daily with fresh towels, made the beds, folded clothes that were left out, mopped the bathroom floor - just very nice. We left a hefty tip to housekeeping!

We needed a place to stay for our oldest sons wedding so our daughter booked us a room for the night. The room was extremely clean and everyone was so nice and friendly. My husband and I were very impressed with all the upgrades. Our two grandbabies especially loved the pool. A big shout out to Jessica and the crew in housekeeping. You all are doing an amazing job. We definitely will be staying with you all again.

I’m always a little hesitant when booking rooms online, afraid to arrive and find a gross room with questionable sheets and mystery stains on the carpet. Not so at the Baxter Park Inn! The room was exceptionally clean and soothed my germaphobic nerves. Front desk staff were SO friendly. Location was great and the price was VERY reasonable. Plus, THEY HAVE CATS. Never judge a book by it’s cover - this place was great.

Possibly the most friendly and helpful staff of any hotel I’ve stayed. The room was very clean and comfortable. We added an extra night at the last minute and they made it seamless! Thank you for everything!

My truck broke down in Millinocket on a Saturday and with no mechanics open in the area I was lucky this place was within walking distance. Decent price, good clean rooms, free cold breakfast, and a very friendly staff. Only charged me for a half day on Monday while they finished up my truck. Most hotels will make you pay for a full day to stay a couple hours past check out. Dog-friendly plus there's a forest with hundreds of miles of trails just outside the back door.

What a truly great place to stay!

We came here after spending five days in Baxter State Park. At that point we would've stayed anywhere with running water! But this place really went above and beyond.
The owner Tim is a genuinely kind and caring person. He is happy to chat Katahdin trails and local businesses, and he truly cares about his guests. He made this a really great experience.
There are three kitties in the lobby too! Dixie, Cosmo, and Fenway are all adorable, sweet cats that roam around and make great company.
Our room was clean, the bathroom was very nice, and the pillows were

I stayed here for a few days and the staff and owner could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean, I couldn't have wished for a nicer place in which to stay. I'll definitely be back. Also, Tim the owner knows a lot about Katahdin if that's why you're going to be in Millinocket.

Great place to stay if you are on your way to Katahdin the next day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Not fake - genuinely looking to help .
Rooms are basic, but clean and fresh. Little touches, like notes from housekeeping or the 'pebble tray' in the bathroom show to me that the owners care that your stay is the best they can provide.
It's good value and I can see my family coming back and using this as a base for exploring the park further.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Baxter inn. the outside was a bit deceiving as it looks like an old motel, but the insides were very clean and kept up. the room was your basic room. fridge and microwave in room was nice. located 20 minutes from Baxter state park and was the perfect location to stay in for our trip whitewater rafting.

I liked this place a lot, and so did the rest of my party. The staff was friendly, the breakfast is fine (includes cereal and oatmeal), the beds were very comfortable, and it was clean. What more do you really want? Maybe you want two hot tubs, a pool, and exercise equipment. Well, they have that - and I totally disagree with the person who said you have to be nuts to go in the hot tub room - it looks totally modern and fine to me (though I did not enter the hot tubs - but I looked in them).

I'm starting to wonder why people write so many negative reviews on yelp..... the color of paint

Mom and pop own this hotel. Their rates are dirt cheap and it has wifi. There is even a hot tub room, but u got to be nuts to go in.
The place is clean and it's the best option if you're climbing mt katahdin.
I have come back 3 times.

Yes, the motel is old, but it is very clean. The breakfast room is very large compared to most. It is very convenient to town and points beyond.
Clearly, the best thing about this place is the owners. Not only did Tim offer excellent advice on hiking, but when my wife got sick and no rooms were available, they set her up in a liitle room with a cot. And gave her Gatorade! (I was floating the Penobscot with my kids....see North Country Rivers review)
Really nice people trying their hardest!

Here is a classic example of "un-branding" a known chain hotel name and has became a mom and pop place. Not a lot has changed, I feel... and its in a state of rapid decline.

We were taking in the last of the leaf colors and as the moose were starting to emerge from the woods onto the road, we decided to seek refuge and pulled into the parking lot. The sign claims pool, hot tub, continental breakfast, free wi-fi and guest laundry. Well, that is all true. The wi-fi is very strong. The pool is inclosed and at the front of the hotel while the hot tubs are at the back and indoors as
