Book elsewhere
Cons:

Shower pressure was very poor
Water did not get hot, but lukewarm
Mattress was well worn with the feet being higher than our heads. We rotated the mattress and it was a bit better.
The pillows were FLAT...I asked for a 3rd and barely helped.

We would love to stay here again, a different room perhaps.
Pros:

The location to everything was superb. Value was to our liking.

Cons:

There was no fan in the bathroom so it was steamy. The window lock was broken on the front window so we weren't able to have the window open during our stay at all.

Cons:

Only thing that was challenging was the shower head. Just needs to be updated but overall still a great place. This is definitely a good place to stay for a real Maine experience

Amazing area, decent hotel..
Pros:

Located in a beautiful area over looking the bay.

Cons:

Room needs major work...Bugs on the ceiling dead in the bathroom, screw holes present in the bedroom from what looks like prior blinds. Stickers on the wall are peeling..
