I too stayed at the Motel 111 in October, and recommend it also. It was very cheap $39 a night, and the rooms were clean, warm, and had cable tv. It's easy to find, and the school is easy to find from it.
From Airport: Take the Maine Turnpike (I-95) South to exit 4. Turn left at the light, and you'll be on Rte. 111. The Motel 111 is on the left about 1/2 mile down.
To UNE from Motel 111: Turn left from parking lot onto Rte 111. Take 111 to Route 9, and make a right. UNE is about 4 miles down on the left. The driveway is a little hidden, but look for the University of New England sign with rocks around it. There is visitor parking across the street from the Alfond Health Sciences building, on the right side of the road.
For food, I recommend the Dry Docks restaurant. To get there from Motel 111, turn right out of the parking lot, and go back towards to freeway. You'll get to the same light that you originally turned at to get onto Rte 111 after getting off the turnpike. Turn left here. You'll pass a Wonder bread factory and the area smells like bread. (Not part of the directions, just something I thought was funny) 1-2 miles down the road is Rte. 1. Turn right. The Dry Docks is on the left, and looks like a house. They open at either 5:30 AM or 6AM for breakfast. Food was reasonably priced and large breakfast portions. I ate there three times when I was in Maine for my interview.
