Lakelawn Motel Cafe - Yarmouth

The manager of the motel was quite a character with a long history of hotel management in his past and a charming outlook on life. Very personal and concerned with our comfort he even offered coffee from his kitchen outside of regular hours. The main building of the motel is multi storied and more like a B&B than a motel. Decorated in an eclectic style with memorabilia and antiques from all over the world. Central location for easy transfer to the ferry back to Maine. (As an aside we rented our car from Enterprise at the port and they have a super staff who supported us even at 12:30 AM and provided us with a drop-off location right at the entry to the embarkation lounge.)

If you are looking for a Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton experience, this is not the motel for you. But if you are looking for a clean, comfortable and reasonably priced motel, this is the place to stay. The proprietor was able to book our room very late at night when the ferry from Portland, Maine experienced problems and got in 2 1/2 hours late. We got to the motel well past midnight, and the owner greeted us with a smile. He was up early serving breakfast, with as pleasant a smile as when we checked in. Very happy to recommend the Lakelawn.

Talk about a full, delicious breakfast - this place has it all. Eat as much as you want in a lovely quaint dining room setting. Service is excellent and friendly.

We took Violet our French bulldog and Bentley, our Boston Terrier on a trip through the maritimes. This motel is dog friendly and attached to a wonderful old building. The room was adequate and clean. Not one bit luxurious, but fine. No A/C but owner has a no outside noise after 10 policy, so it was fine. Breakfast in a charming room - food ok but part of the fruit was bordering on spoiled and part was too green. And they served only one piece of toast. Made us chuckle. The theme was frugality. Nothing wrong with that, but thought you would like to know. We didn't need kitchen, but it was clean and would be great for a young family or someone staying a few days.

A nice break in our trip. Super friendly host and staff. A nice room just that will let you rest peacefully. Close to dt, the ferry to Maine and the lighthouse at Cape Forchu. Fridge and microwave in room with coffee included at the reception.
