The hotel was in a lovely spot with river view and a balcony for coffee in the morning. I especially loved the comfortable recliner for unwinding in front of TV. The place was homey. The staff friendly .Jayne the owner /manager was accommodating and helpful with recommendations for local shopping and food. Really enjoyable stay!

The room was lovely, and very affordable. Even in travel seasons like October. The couple who runs it are very sweet and the room had a very homey feel with a kitchenette and even clean mugs, dishes, silverware, and a teapot. You get a medium fridge, microwave, found a toaster, etc. it was a lifesaver when other lesser rated hotels were charging double the rate with less charm anyways

We enjoyed staying at the Milford Motel on the River. It wasn't 5 star, but it's not rated a 5 star. It was clean, great price, good view of the river, and the staff were very friendly. We'd stay there again when back in the Bangor area.

The Milford Inn on the River was such a delightful surprise. Our room was spacious, complete with a kitchen and a small balcony, which made it feel extra special. The beds were incredibly soft and comfortable, and I had one of the best night’s rests of my trip. Truly a hidden gem!

AC unit put out cold air with strong mildew scent; room is very outdated but as clean as they can get it although there was mold in bathroom and dirt on fans left in the room; refrigerator leaked water internally and freezer section did not keep ice packs frozer- just chilled. sheets were clean, of note. and front desk was very accomodating when needing to add an extra dog and unexpected child. they allow for dogs but minimal safe space to take dogs for a walk beyond the space just behind or in front of motel. overall, they have done the best they can with the space but it didn't feel safe, clean or welcoming. and smells in the interior stair case were nauseating.

Lovely quiet motel. Very clean and comfortable with a nice kitchenette. A hidden gem just north of the Bangor area. We will certainly book again with them in the future.

Great little motel and excellent value

I have stayed here several times now and each time it has been excellent. The two bedroom suite we stayed in this trip looked fairly recently renovated and was equip with stainless steel appliances. NOT a fancy chain hotel but a ver clean and well kept Mom and Pop motel with lots of personal touches.

It was quaint and retro - reminded me of my late Nanny’s house. So not updated or fancy but clean and well-supplied. We arrived late and the proprietor knocked on our door after we had been there a bit with a bag full of water, snacks, tea. A very thoughtful and kind gesture. It was muggy that day and there was one AC and a couple of fans so we were all comfortable. Would return without a second thought.
