The walkway into our room was missing stones between the paver making a huge tripping hazard. The kayaks should be scheduled so others have time. One groups used them all day making it limited for others. Not enough fire pits. The pool was great! The view to the harbor is getting blocked by trees and they could use some trimming and weed removal behind the unit at the bottom of the hill closer to the harbor. Still would go there again!!! Would recommend, the breakfast is also great!

Outdated and in need of remodeling. Our first room was not what we expected. It was outdated with rust spots on the door frame of entrance and frame of drop ceiling in the bathroom. The bathroom faucet had some weird damage that looked like it was melted. The slider leading to the porch was held shut with a stick because the lock was broken. We decided we weren't staying. The woman at front desk gave us a tour of a different room. Since it was getting late, we decided to stay. This room was much better than the first until we tried to sleep. The light from the front door was shining through the door window all night making it difficult to sleep. And had no switch to shut it off. Sleepless, I decided to turn off air conditioner in the middle of the night. I turned on the light to see how to shut ac off when I noticed what looked like black mold in the vent of AC unit. I opened the front panel were I thought I would find a filter, instead I found no filter and the fins covered in grime. There were also crumbling grout in bathroom floor and black mold behind bathroom sink. I was told they had a fishing pond that was stocked. When I drove by, I could see it was small and over grown with no place to fish from. It looked like no one had used it in a long time. The laundry room was out side the building, not indoors. The mini golf section needed updating. The staff was friendly, but the place was lacking proper management and maintenance.

This hidden gem is exactly what we were looking for. While the room was bare-bones, the property was spectacular. The resort is quintessential Maine. Stunning views of the cove and surrounding property, are worth the visit alone. We wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast buffet was delish, and the amenities (pool, shuffleboard, paddling and dock views were a nice bonus. We made reservations to come back. I great place for a reset.

Great place to stay. Staff was very nice. The room we had was Huge. Nice updated bathroom. The only thing, I would say is that they should really invest in some new doors. The front door had a couple of cracks and could see outside. The back door you had pull really hard to open. Other than that, I would stay again.

Fine, but not what I expected.

The property is far more rustic than the pictures suggest. Also, it is a bit run down. Our room had a fantastic view but was definitely in need of some repairs. It was fine for our needs but I expected more for the price I paid.

We needed a place for a one night stay close to the Botanical Gardens. This place was only 10 minutes away and the price of $250 was reasonable. Staff was friendly and we got a king suit overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately our view was blocked by trees but it was sunset anyway and we were leaving in the morning so no big deal. Place smelled fresh and clean when we walked in and AC was working great, it was nice and cool. WIFI was also working. There was a TV and fridge and it looked like it had been recently renovated. Bathroom looked all new. Only complaints is the bathroom could of been cleaner. There was a sharp unidentifiable piece of plastic or something on the floor that I stepped on with bare feet and also the plasic thing that covers a razor blade still in the floor. Dead bugs and dirt along the edge of the floor. Stuff that should have easily been picked up by a vacuum or broom. Also someones used hand towel was still hanging on the rack behind the shower curtain in the bathroom when i stepped into the shower. Also there was no soap for the shower provided (shampoo and conditioner were though) Other than that the room was clean, quiet, and the property was beautiful. We sat on chairs watching the sun set and there was lots to do there if you stayed longer. Breakfast was also good and included, which was nice. And they are pet friendly so you can bring your dog. We would stay here again if we were in the area again.

I can not rate this hotel in any way other than their customer service. I am also not impressed with Hotels.com. I was searching for accommodations in Southport Connecticut. Somehow the Ocean Gate Resort popped up as an option. I booked a room for 2 nights. It was less than an 1 1/2 hours latter that I noticed on my conformation e-mail that the hotel is located in the state of Maine. I contacted Hotels.com who reached out to Ocean Gate. Two days later I recieved an e-mail from Hotels.com that the hotel was sticking to their no cancellation policy. I understand policy, but how did a Maine hotel appear in a search of a Connecticut hotel. So, shame on Hotels.com for an appearent glitch in their booking system, and I don't even know what to say about Ocean Gate other than, Policy or Greed?

Needs major maintenance

Has potential to be a great place but needs some upkeep. The room was nothing like pictured. Great view but not much else I can say about this place. It may have been very clean but hard to tell because it was all so outdated.
