Last Saturday, my wife Tasha and I, (along with our 8 year old daughter Ally) had to be in Trenton for a wedding. I had made reservations at the Sunrise Motel for a room with 2 beds and a kitcnette. Everything was ready for us, (which was great after the long drive up from Long Island) and we got a... more

my business keeps me on the road quite a bit; I am a drug rep for a major pharmaceutical company and I travel a lot. I had passed sunrise many times before, but this time, I decided to stop after seeing the motel was under new management. I was met at the front desk by a lovely young woman who... more

Terrible smell, dirty, cheap motel. I had booked a different motel owned by the same people, but they had messed up the room (only one bed when we asked for two), so they moved us to this one down the road. Oddest part, there wasn't a single adult running the place- all kids. At the first motel, I was served... more

Because of its price and very convenient location midway between Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, I wish I could recommend the Sunrise, but I can’t. Although our room was comparatively large and had a functional kitchenette, the furnishings and carpets were very worn and the whole room smelled musty. The bathroom was small and antiquated, and it was impossible to make... more

We stayed here for a night a couple of years ago on our way to Nova Scotia. While the staff was very nice, the room we had was almost scary. It was on the ground level and faced away from the road towards some woods and the airport. We didn't mind the airport at all, but the lights outside the... more

After reading the other reviews on this motel I guess I had my hopes inflated -- I was very disappointed at the quality of the room. The room was small, and looked clean but smelled very dank and musty. It felt very humid and damp inside the room and it was very hard to get comfortable because of this. On... more

Booked a room for the first 2 weeks in July over the Internet. Found the owners to be friendly and helpful, the room to be clean and the staff to be very good. Had an enjoyable stay and would return again. Great place for the price. more

We were initially attracted to the Sunrise Motel by their low rates - in season (4th of July weekend!) they were half the price of most other motels in the area - but we were glad we stayed there. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the management is friendly, and it's located almost dead center between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor,... more

We detoured to Bar Harbor on the way back from Newfoundland. As we approached our destination we spotted the motel and inquired about a room. We met a man named Steve and he was very welcoming. We were pleased by the low off season rates before the end of August and stayed several days. We enjoyed the on site BBQ,... more
