We stayed there one night en route to Vermont. I read all the reviews before we booked, and looked at the pictures so we knew what to expect. It has been taken over by a French couple about 2 years ago. I was greeted by the owner, Virginie, who was delighted to speak In French with me. The units are as described by others but our bedside light was not working. She said they were having trouble getting trades people to come & fix things. So she went out and bought a brand new light. They have a lot of work to do on this motel. Our fridge was an antique model, without a door on the icebox but plenty of ice caked on! It certainly is value for money and although a step back in time, it was very clean. It was also near the road, but that did not trouble us. I do hope the new owners make a success of it & I wish them well. It’s not a place for an extended stay, but if you’re passing through, give it a try! …

I have stayed here many times. Something has obviously changed. We rented 3 rooms, and each room smelled so bad we went and bought air fresheners, and disinfectant. Even though it says SMOKE FREE I would gather they are not strict on there policy for smoke free rooms. We all felt sick the next day with sore throats and Headaches. I would not recommend this Motel to someone with children or that cares about there health. Also there is some sketchy things that go on there. Not really feeling safe, put a chair up against the door at night. People banging on doors.

My boyfriend and I stay here often when visiting a parcel of land he recently purchased. We LOVE staying here as it is a throwback to our childhood memories of road trips with our families! The so called "outdated" decor only lends to the charm of this retro motel nestled in this sleepy town of Newport. The new owner, Virginie, is friendly, sweet and accomodating; like knowing a friend who owns a motel! Unlike the not so lovely, Lovely's, this place is extremely clean despite its age. Please, please, don't change a thing about this place and help preserve a piece of American history when times were simpler...

My boyfriend and I stay here every time we travel to Maine to visit land he recently purchased. We LOVE it, outdated décor and all! It is a blast from both of our pasts! The new owner, Virginie is lovely welcoming and accommodating; like having a friend that owns a motel! The rooms are always extremely clean unlike the not so lovely, Lovely's down the road. We look forward to our travel back in time to this unspoiled part of Maine and it's simple charm. Please maintain this awesome retreat as a slice of American history; of calmer, quieter times in the world...

Pray's Motel, in Newport, Maine, is a blast from the past. The office for the motel is in the house behind the 10-unit motel. The unit is spacious, and is really a suite, unlike many places that advertise suites. There is a living room, a separate bedroom, and bathroom. The living room has a foldout couch. The décor is wood paneling and the furniture is a little battered. But don't be put off--the place is spotless, the bed is comfy, and the price is definitely right. There is wifi, though the signal is not terribly strong, and a full array of cable tv stations. The unit comes with a sink, cooktop and fridge. Pray's Motel appears to be a jumping off point for people venturing into the northern Maine woods--there are cards for Maine guide services.

After staying at several other motels in the area I can safely say this is the best. The decor is definitely out of date but everything else makes up for that. It is clean and housekeeping really goes the extra mile. Not only is there is a kitchenette with a microwave refrigerator stove top and coffee maker there is also a couch in the living room area and a separate bedroom. We are staying here while we work nearby and found this to be the perfect setup. The heat is also top notch which was great to come back to after working out in the cold. Prays Motel is also located close to all the restaurant and stores in Newport.

They have limited rooms rented out daily because they take on contractors who stay extended periods of time.
