Cons:

Someone was smoking pot in a your by us and it was so strong and disgusting. No smoking is no smoking and cleaning staff was present also. This scent was strong the entire night.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room smelled, the carpet was extremely stained, the staff were unfriendly, and the beds were uncomfortable. There were gnats flying around in the bathroom and there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling. The website pictures misrepresent the hotel.

Pros:

Clean, well maintained. Breakfast was a plus whem available. The morning we were departing 7:00 am. NOTHING was ready except coffee. Disapointing because wr had to get on the road.

Cons:

As above plus staff could be more informed. Asked about dinner locations...no help. Asked for more linens could barely understand English...friendly but should be able to understand simple requests.

Enjoyable stay, highly recommend!
Pros:

The location was very convenient for our stay while visiting the coastal Maine area. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was a nice suprise, offering warm eggs, sausage and a variety of breads and bagels as well as cereal, coffee, tea and several juices. The outdoor seating area made it great to bring our dog along.

Cons:

The carpeting in the hallways was not in the best condition but it appears that the facility is currently experiencing some renovation.
