Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the lovely view of the ocean. The lobby was beautifully decorated with fresh cut flowers, giving it a nice touch. The service was extremely polite and helpful, and the staff even recommended a great place for dinner. The location was perfect, allowing me to relax on the porch and enjoy the views of the sea and beaches beyond. The dining experience was amazing, with delicious offerings that exceeded my expectations. Overall, it was a delightful experience.
The hotel offers above us with tasteful, modern decor and spa-like bathrooms. The rooms are very spacious and well-appointed, although a bit older. The service provided is excellent with friendly and kind staff, and the complimentary breakfast is good. The location is terrific, making it convenient to explore Ogunquit on foot, especially with the beach foot trail close by.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed with panoramic views of the surroundings, including car parks and other hotels leading to the sea and beaches in the distance. The cleanliness was impressive, although I wished there was a desk and chair in the room. The service was top-notch, with a very accommodating and precious staff, particularly Taylor Trainer, who made my experience wonderful. The location was perfect for exploring downtown and Perkins Cove, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the Marginal Way ocean walkway. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, with a well-stocked continental breakfast and a lovely veranda setting. Overall, a great stay with some minor room for improvement.
The hotel had a room with a lovely view of a gas tank which wasn't ideal, but the room itself was large, nicely furnished, well-kept, and very clean with plenty of towels and space to put all our things. However, the ventilation was lacking which made it feel a bit stuffy at times. The location was perfect for walking to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, being close to Ogunquit Beach, Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, and the town's restaurants. When it came to dining, the breakfast spread was delicious with homemade oatmeal and muffins, fresh cut-up pineapple and melons, and generous choices. However, as expected in the springtime, there wasn't much happening in terms of dining options. The hotel offered facilities with a little sitting area but was missing some additional amenities.
The hotel is like a hidden gem, tucked away at a distance from the main house and up a flight of stairs, offering lovely and comfortable rooms with cozy beds. The service is impeccable with a standout manager, Taylor Trainer, ensuring a warm and accommodating stay. The location is charming and convenient, allowing easy access to Ogunquit, Perkins Cove, and the beautiful Maine coast. The dining experience, while good and well-maintained, could be improved in terms of variety. Overall, a serene retreat with great value for money.
This hotel was a delightful surprise! The location was perfect, right in the heart of everything, from shops to the beach. The rooms were cozy, and the service was top-notch, exactly what we needed after a long drive. The dining experience had its highs and lows, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers pristine and well-decorated rooms in cool ocean colors, although the bathroom is small with limited space for toiletries. The sunroom/kitchen is a wonderful addition, but the rooms are in a separate building from the main one.
