Cabot Trail Motel was conveniently located for our tour atound the Cabot Trail. It had a beautiful view with a deck to sit out on, as did all the rooms. The facility is older but it was clean with comfortable beds. That's important.
Our timing was perfect to tour the trail as the color of the foilage was at it's peak, October 9/24. It has an onsite restaurant but we didn't eat there because we were touring and our visit was short. Check in and out was easy. The staff was excellent and humorous. We would definitely stay there again.
