Just north of the Maine-New Hampshire border, the small town of Kittery sits along the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing several beaches and islands. Home to a number of attractions, including a large outlet mall and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery attracts many tourists each year for both its scenic coastline and shopping spots. And, after a long day of beachcombing, shopping and chasing after the kids, you'll find a number of motels and inns within Kittery, where you can finally kick back and relax.
Located in northern Kittery, just a few minutes from the ocean, this motel provides convenient access to both Interstate 95 and the Kittery Outlets. Northeaster Motel also offers some of the most inexpensive lodging in the area. Each room comes with simple furnishings and some basic amenities, including a mini-fridge, microwave and cable TV. However, the motel also offers a handful of well-equipped cabin rental units. The main grounds feature a large, seasonal outdoor pool.
