Firefighters arrived on the scene to find heavy smoke and fire showing from the side of the building near the pool.
The fire was under control within a half-hour but Chief Ricky Plummer says two motel units were damaged.
The cause is under investigation, but Plummer says it doesn’t appear suspicious. There were no guests because the motel is closed for the season.
Scarborough, Saco and Buxton fire departments also responded.
