Yvonne

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was sent a message saying I was in room 1 and that the door is unlocked and the key is inside. I showed up only to discover that someone else was already in the room. Strike 1. Then, I get sent to a different room and end up with the neighbors from heck on both sides of my room. They had the tv turned up so loud I could hear it through the walls. I holered to them to turn it down. They called the front desk and complained that I was yelling Strike 2. The front desk called me and threatened to kick me out. I told him why I hollered but he didn't care. So my complaint was totally dismissed. STRIKE 3 I will never stay here again and I don't recommend this terrible place to anyone. I left at 2 a.m.and will never go back.

This is a nice little motel close to Sunday River. The price is reasonable and the rooms are clean. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear what goes on in the adjacent room. Will likely stay here again mainly due to the price and location.

Would stay again.

The steps still had snow on them. The people in the next room continued to make noise well into the night. Overall, except for noisy neighbors, the stay was fine. The check in was, for us, unique and worked well. We would stay there again and hope for a quieter night.

Unique DIY Experience

The Rostay is unique for its absence of staff. We received a text explaining how to check in; the door to our room was left unlocked, and the instructions for checking out, etc. were posted on the wall. The room was well-equipped with extra linens and bedding, a coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator. The room was furnished with a small dining table and chairs, a desk, beds, and a large area for unpacking and hanging one's clothes. The bathroom was large with a long counter, ideal for laying out one's toiletries. One of the beds was a queen, and the other was a bunk bed with a queen or double on the bottom and a single on top. Each was equipped with a swing-away overhead lamp, and they were comfortable for sleeping. However, the bunk was so low that one constantly was hitting one's head on the edge, and the bedframe flared out and was a danger for stubbed toes, especially in the middle of the night. At this time of year, breakfast is not included, but there are many very good options nearby; The Good Food Store (take-out and groceries) is right next door. The Rostay does not provide housekeeping services during one's stay. (That was fine with us.) Even though we never saw any staff, we did not feel abandoned. We knew help was only a text away, and we felt relaxed and comfortable coming and going as we pleased.

Great place to stay close to Sunday river, and a 30 second walk to the 1888 barn venue next door. The room was clean and actually had antibacterial hand soap in the bathroom that no hotel ever has for some reason. Great water pressure in the shower as well as heat. The owners were present and friendly. I will be staying here again
