viking motor inn

Anyone have a review of the Viking motor inn? Need pet friendly reasonable hotel for 3 days in September.

At the following website, there are two really terrible reviews of the Viking:

Too bad, because it looks fine from the outside and it%26#39;s got a driving range and mini-golf right next door.

Is there a reason why you wanted that particular location? It%26#39;s not within walking distance of anything other than the driving range and mini-golf----and a hospital.

There are a lot of nice options in the Brunswick area. Are you looking for chain hotel, B%26amp;B or other? I don%26#39;t know how to find out which lodgings are pet friendly. However, if you get a chance to post again with a little more information about what you%26#39;re looking for, I%26#39;m sure I and other regulars can give you some suggestions.

Unless price is THE major consideration I%26#39;d say keep looking.

I stayed there years ago before I moved to Brunswick. I asked my client to suggest ';something clean and inexpensive'; but I would not have picked myself. Now that I live in Brunswick, I%26#39;ve seen better choices. I%26#39;d also avoid the Maine Line Motel and Travelers Inn. Both --ahem--lack street appeal.

There are oodles of other lodging choices in the area, mostly chains, and surely you can find something nicer and pet friendly. Look at Brunswick, Harpswell and Freeport. Harpswell is a 15-minute drive, but on the water, it would be fun to stay out there unless you really must be in town.

Unfortunately, nothing is going to have a great location in Brunswick as most of the lodging is on or near Route 1. The Brunswick Inn (formerly Brunswick B%26amp;B) is the only lodging with a truly great location in the town center, but I%26#39;m guessing the prices are on the high side.

P.S. The photos on the expedia web site of a room looks okay, but the room I stayed in was really dark and creepy like the room the poster on the other forum described.

We are looking for a pet friendly, mid coast area hotel reasonably priced . How about the Beach Cove Hotel and Resort in West Booth Bay Harbor?

Wanting a convenient hotel as we will be traveling Freeport and Camden. Would staying in Freeport be the best bet?

We can go in either mid September or mid October? Any preference?

Thanks for your help.

Freeport has tons of lodging options, so you will be very likely to find something that meets your needs there. I%26#39;m not familiar with the Beach Cove in West Boothbay.

Mid-October is usually peak foliage in southern midcoast Maine. In mid-September you might get some warm weather---you never know---which would allow you to spend more time in/on the water.

I do know that the Maine Idyll Motor Court in Freeport allows pets and is very inexpensive. It%26#39;s an old, old place run by the same family for many years. One of the owners just died, but I think the family still plans to keep it going. There are several reviews here on tripadvisor.

Are the lobster pounds open in October?

If so what are your favorites?

A must for my husband.

Thanks

Maine Idyll has a website with some pictures. I think it%26#39;s www.maineidyll.com. I also took a quick look at www.freeportusa.com and saw these places mentioned that they were either pets welcome or considered:

Best Western Freeport Inn

Econolodge

Harraseeket Inn (great place, but pretty pricey)

Maple Hill B%26amp;B

The Summer House

White Cedar Inn

I can%26#39;t give you a review of these places, but you could check them out on this site and on the freeportusa site. If any of them seem appealing, maybe you could re-post and see if any of the regulars have comments.

Thanks for the list. I had found some of the same on petswelcome.com but will check out others and freeportusa.

I also use tripadvisor.com for reviews but like to hear from locals.

thanks again

I put Maine Idyll in the same category as the VIking Motor Inn. I wouldn%26#39;t stay there, either.

And, the location can%26#39;t be quiet. It fronts on Route 1 and I-295 runs behind it.

Surely you can find something better in the Boothbay area. Tho October is foliage season, the rates really do drop considerably. I think you can find something you%26#39;d be happy with that wasn%26#39;t sketchy at a reasonable price.

Lobster pounds usually close Columbus Day weekend.
