The room was cute and cozy. The contactless check-in was great! We enjoyed the breakfast in the breakfast room as an added bonus since there isn’t a lot of choices in the area. I would definitely stay there again.

The Yardarm is a lovely motel on Rt 1 in Searsport Maine. The sign stated it is 75 years young. Our room was comfortable though on the smaller side. The only two things I wished for were an ice bucket for the room and hard boiled eggs served with breakfast. I am not into bread products at breakfast, yogurt was the one protein available. I still highly recommend this lovely local motel.

The property was perfect for my needs. I was in a wedding in the area, alone and wanting an economical and safe option to stay at and THE Yardarm was perfect. Very clean, quiet and although its a motel they make every effort to reduce noise. I met the owners, Randy and Wallace at the fire pit the first night. Great conversation, and Randy made me a bonfire which was awesome. Thanks guys! 100% recommend this quaint and awesome Motel.!

Our room was basic but very clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was nice that a fridge and microwave were included. The walls are thin (we could hear our neighbors talking), but a white noise machine was provided and the only sound that woke us was an occasional door banging shut. Breakfast was basic continental and included some healthy options (fruit and yogurt); the blueberry muffins were especially yummy! Overall, we enjoyed our brief stay (as did our pup!) and would recommend as a pet-friendly facility.
