Not sure what all the whining and fuss is about. No, this isn't the Four Seasons, and no, Calais, Maine is not like Calais, France! It is a tiny run-down border town and the gateway to Canada's Maritime provinces. This part of Maine also offers some of the best fishing and hunting in the world. If you want Bald eagles,... more

stayed in a riverview unit on work, for a week in february, The room was always clean when i returned from work each night and the bed was relatively comfortable.

We had no complaints and would stay there again if we... more

While attempting to find availability for a return visit , I happened upon the only other review of the International . The bedbug report explained the mystery of the fresh bloodstains on my sheets in the morning on a previous stay ! I hope the motel can get their act "cleaned up" as it's a lovely place and the staff... more

We had to stay four nights in Calais Maine. Our work picked the hotel and paid for it in advance. It seemed ok to start off, nice view of Canada over the river and it seemed clean and well kept. On the second day I noticed that they did not change the sheets and I thought, ok so its a... more
