Elmwood Resort Motel

We were very pleased with the Elmwood. They have outdoor activities each night (which we didn’t participate in because it rained most of the time we were there!) such as live music, movies, and WII competitions.
They have overpriced movies to rent $ 3 a pop!) so bring your own. They also have corn hole and ladder ball you can play. There’s a pretty good playground too.
Indoor and outdoor pools were great. Best thing about the indoor pool is the building has windows that open! No stifling hot chlorine smelling pool area! They also have a sauna which was a nice treat.
Rooms were great. We did a 1 bedroom suite for the 4 of us — 2 adults and 2 kids. Full sized pull out couch was perfect for the girls. Kitchen had everything you need.
Not sure what level of housekeeping we were supposed to have though. They did make the bed and either give us fresh towels or refold them. I know they didn’t vacuum since the same paper scraps were on the floor after they cleaned. (Art project gone wrong!) It wasn’t a problem for us but if you’re staying a whole week and visiting the beach a lot I can see sand being a problem. There was no vacuum in the room for our use.

I just love this place. Stumbled across it about ten years ago and now it is our haven when we visit maine. We always stay in room 166. Large condo style. Sleeps up to ten people. This unit has everything you could ever need. Spacious, immaculate, warm helpful staff. Jacuzzi. Huge kitchen. Great place. I would recommend this to everyone.

Wife and I have stayed several times at The Elmwood Resort. We’ve always had a nice experience. Clean, neat, well kept and friendly staff. We always get the king suite and never had any issues. I’d recommend this to anyone staying in the wells area.

This motel was recommended by a friend. While the place was clean (Which is very important) I don’t think we would stay here again.
The room we stayed in needed a face lift ! It was very dated. No window treatments except blinds. Wouldn’t a valance be a nice touch?
The couch in the living area was very low to the floor and it was hard to get up from with my arthritic knees.
The mattress was Very firm and both my husband and I woke up all three morning with sore backs.
The bathroom vanity was very low and the shower head very old and not efficient.
WiFi kept cutting out saying retry… retry…so annoying!
We had actual keys… not key cards so bulky! Get with the times and up date this feature
Also a fully outfitted kitchen should have paper towels and salt and pepper shakers, neither was supplied.
Also my last pet peeve… NO ICE MACHINE. You have to make your own ice with trays provided. Who wants to do this on vacation? Ice maker in refrigerator would be nice We purchased a 5-​lb bag of ice at Hannafords.
It did have 2 large screen TV;‘s. 1 i bedroom on in living area.
Guess we are spoiled by staying at Disney Hotels in Orlando. They are large, clean and fully stocked. Bedroom, large living area, In unit laundry facilities, in unit Jacuzzi, dining area and verander

The Elmwood is where I always choose to stay at when visiting Maine.
It is located along the main road that seems to run up the entire state. The complex is made up either 1 or 2 bedroom privately owned condos, so each is unique in their own way. The ones I have been at come fully furnished including a queen bed, a sleeper sofa, reclining chair, large TV, dining table, small kitchen with plates, glasses, etc. I was very impressed when I go here. All of the units have been very clean.
The rest of the grounds include two pools, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor one includes a sauna. Plenty of tables, chairs, and lounge chairs throughout. There is a grill area on site for cooking, a small playground, and even an area with a large screen where they show movies at night. It is really a neat design.
The woman who was running the place was super nice and one evening was walking around delivering complimentary bags of popcorn to all the units. Very nice and cheerful woman.
The road it’s on gets super busy during peak times so plan your travels accordingly. There is a Dunkin Donuts directly across the street which was perfect for the mornings. If looking for a place to dine for dinner, Mike’s Clam Shack down the road has always hit the spot for me. Wish the location was closer to the ocean (you will still need a car to get there) but for the price this place is great. Recommend.

We’ve stayed here about 4 times. A few times in the 2 bedroom unit. THe first time we stayed the bed was not comfortable at all in one unit (bottom floor in the corner on left). Each unit is individually owned, so decorating and updating is different per unit. The outdoor pool is clean, the firepit and outside movies are a great idea. Movie rentals at the front office are expensive for outdated movies, you can just go to red box. The indoor pool is supposed to be heated, it’s not, but it’s clean. There is a cute little playground on the property, which is great. The grounds are kept up nicely. Nancy at the front desk is super personable and very helpful.
My complaints where, Lisa at the front desk is rude and we had complained about her two different times. They don’t come clean your room until around 3 in the afternoon, not a big deal, but if you are there for a week paying for that service, it would be nice if they came earlier. Our room didn’t get cleaned the whole time we were there because we happened to be in the room that same time each day because of naps.
Overall we would stay again.

I come every summer to Elmwood! Clean rooms, wonderful staff, indoor outdoor pool, and sauna. Would recommend to anyone! Great prices also and very close to Wells Beach! :)

Great place to stay in Wells, ME. Great for the family! Hotel has an indoor pool, outdoor pool, playground and 3 gas barbecue grills.
