An affordable, clean, conveniently located motel 15 min away from Sunday River. Looks lovely inside and out, on the 2nd floor of a clothing retail store that's very pretty. Our room was very clean, so were staircase and hallway despite the snow-sand mix spread everywhere in town after a recent snow storm. Bathroom has been renovated recently, shower worked great....

Stayed here over the summer whilst on honeymoon. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and gave us advice on places to eat and directions for our onward journey. It has so much character and charm and is very homely. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

I almost hate to review this place because it is my favorite place to stay on vendor trips to Bethel's several art festivals, and someday I will be told she has no vacancy as travelers eventually find the in-town convenience, freshness of the rooms and charm of Ruthies little hotel. For the naysayers on this forum, go stay at the... More

This isn't the Ritz, if your looking for 5 star, then you will be dissapointed. HOWEVER if your looking for a quaint little country inn type expereince this is it. Me and my wife have stayed here multiple times already and will be staying here again this Christmas eve and then every time we go skiing up at Sunday River... More

We stayed at the Bethel Village Motel in September as part of a road trip and found it to be the most pleasant, comfortable, quiet and reasonably priced location - in fact we stayed two nights which is very unusual for us! I have just read the 'disappointed' review below and really couldn't understand it. All in all, we can... More

Was expecting more given the previous reviews which were good . Owner greeted us with a smile and things went downhill from there. Furnishings gave me the creeps. Needs to be updated badly. Bathroom vanity had to be there from the 60's or 70's. Couldn't tell if the carpet was clean because it looked so very old and worn. A... More

Ruthie's is my favorite place to stay when skiing at Sunday River. It's right in the center of the village. The rooms are simple but clean, renovated and comfortable. And you can't beat the price or how friendly Ruthie herself is. I've been going for a few years, and I've noticed constant renovations and little refreshes that keep the place... More

I reserved two rooms for just one night because of a mix up with our Sunday River rental check in. I picked it mostly based on reviews on this site and we weren't disappointed. We loved it! Ruthie is super nice, I told her we would arrive a little late and she had the lights on and the heat on... More

I was in the Western Mountains and Lakes Region of Maine doing research for www.great-maine-vacations.com, and based on the positive reviews I read here, I stayed at Ruthie's Bethel Village Motel, and am VERY happy that I did. The motel was perfect for the type of trip I was on, and was spotlessly clean, quite comfortable, and I thought, well... More
