Better than plenty of others
Bed was very comfortable. Property was calm. Interiors are updated; new flooring (the vinyl that feels like hardwood). Property still uses physical KEYS for room locks, and the doors don't automatically close and lock. Parking that was close to the room tended to fill up very quickly. Wifi had to keep getting re-connected through the captive portal; seemed a tad slow. The "freezer" in the mini fridge did not actually keep things frozen.

Quiet and convenient
The property was well kept and quiet. Our room was clean however there was a musty odor that never went away during our two nights. There were enough clean towels and the bedding was fresh and clean. The room seemed a bit on the worn side with several scratches and dings around the door and refrigerator cabinet. There was a bit of paint peeling in the bathroom with some dark stains in the grout of the tub, the shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. The location is quite convenient, about a 5 minute drive to the beach and many restaurants or shops within the same distance.

Wifi not working
Room was comfortable. Staff were very nice. Bathroom was clean. Comforter was clean white but had a dark brown stain when pulled back. Wifi would not work at all & could not get phone service unless walked to the parking lot. Overall not worth the $ paid to stay there.

Ideal for a couple of days in Maine
Pretty good hotel for the price. Don’t expect very high quality and perfect rooms, but for a couple of night during high season it’s great. Pool was great. Wi-Fi not so much. Room service was great. Reception average.

Good location, very clean and spacious room, carpet a little old looking. The room smelled of weed and/or pets. I suggest they professionally clean the carpets and air out the rooms. Overall a comfortable stay. I’d stay there again.

Great overnight stay
Stayed here after attending an event at the restaurant directly across the street. Check in was fast and easy, room was very clean, water pressure in the shower excellent, bed comfy. Super close to Dunks for morning coffee. Didn’t stay for the beach because of the rain. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. We didn’t really have any expectations other than a clean room. We were surprised by how beautiful the site was. There are mature trees and the lawn is mostly grass (other than the parking lot). Most of the buildings are far from the road so it’s very quiet. The location is also super convenient. We’ll definitely be back next year!
