We had a riverview room, said to be the newer part of the property. The room was clean. The TV was modern. The view of the river was close and picturesque. The price was reasonable. There was a man (another guest?) playing a guitar on the balcony. I said "nice music" and he said "Thanks, I've been thrown out of... more

Pretty average motel. No surprises, good or bad. You will get noise from adjacent rooms. The town's riverfront walking trail goes through the property. Get a riverview room if you want to watch the tidal fluctuation in the river. A bit pricey for what you get. more

I have stayed at the Calais Motor Inn and thought I was at the Bates Motel!! This time I tried the International and am so very glad I did. It's clean and while it's basic, it is CLEAN!

We recently came to Calais to visit some friends in the area and somehow missed all the bad reviews of the motel. Since all reviews that we read promised a clean stay, and many other motels in the area were booked for those nights, we decided to book both nights there. The first night at the motel we noticed a... more

I travel to the Downeast Maine region weekly for work and have stayed at the International Hotel numerous times. Sometimes I am there every week. I travel and work with my dog and it is a great place to stay if you are traveling with a pet. There is a trail to walk along the river, things have always been... more
