Bethel Village Motel

Great little motel! Stayed here with my two daughters while skiing at Sunday River. Fantastic price, less than 10 minute drive to the mountain, and walking distance to plenty of dining options (plus a supermarket) in Bethel. The rooms are small but extremely clean and well maintained. The owners are super nice, and go above and beyond to make their guests happy. When we return to Sunday River, we will stay here again! The only thing I'd caveat is that the rooms (at least ours) had stand-up showers, no bathtubs. This was fine for us, but if you want to soak in a bathtub after a day of skiing, you may want to look elsewhere. There was plenty of hot water for the showers, though.

I can’t recommend this motel enough for those traveling to Sunday River or Mount Abram. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and large enough for a family to share. Ruth, the owner, has owned the motel for many years and cares deeply for her customers. The motel is close to multiple ski mountains and walking distance to food and shopping. I will surely stay again!

We stayed here for 3 nights in August. I was a little skeptical due to the very reasonable pricing but it turned out to be really terrific. Simple but extremely well maintained and spotless, A great bakery next door for breakfast or lunch, a grocery store one door away on the other side, and don't miss the Maine Mineral and Gem museum across the street!

Yep, awesome place. Basic motel but without any negative stigmas. A really great keeper makes it feel like an inn. Room was extremely clean and comfortable. Good view onto the main drag, it’s not noisy, clean patio (all rooms second floor) The location couldn’t be better, next-door to a great cafe, next to a small-hannafords, right smack in town and Sunday-skiing only 15 minutes away.

We hiked the AT for 8 months, We have never been treated this nice by any one. We liked our stay so well that we hitched a ride from N.H. just to spend another weekend at the hotel. The room was super clean, Ruthie and Kevin treated us like family. I never expected such a warm welcome for strangers. I think they may have liked us because we were Irish hillbillies !!! We look forward to coming back . Their kindness and friendliness was awesome. If you are in Maine this little treasure should be on your bucket list.

Best Motel in all of Maine in our opinion. The owners are very professional and personable. Wonderfull. Saddened by her recent loss. We love and admire Ruthie. We stay there often. She remembers us at our name and always gives us our same room. Thank Ruthie!

This is a nice inexpensive hotel. No frills. No microwave. Has refrig. The rooms are always clean. The owner is very nice. Customers send cards and letters from all over the country to the owner. Has coffee to go in the morning in the office area. If you are passing through or looking for an inexpensive place to stay while skiing at Sunday River, this is a good choice. Sunday River is about 7 miles away. I recommend!

I love this place, it has really become my home away from home. Ruthie and Kevin have been so welcoming from the first time I arrived 7 years ago. Ruthie makes sure "my" room is clean and ready with a light on and either the heat or air condition going. Since I started coming here I haven't stayed anywhere else in the area. Thank you Ruth and Kevin! I'll be back soon!
