Room was very clean and comfortable. They were having trouble with check in connectivity but the staff was friendly and helpful. Having the ice machine outside the rooms was very convenient as well. Next time, we will book one of the cottages for a longer stay.

I would have rated it 5 stars for everything. But the front desk lady was not very friendly. And even after asking no one would clean my room. Other than that it is worth the price clean comfortable and a great place to stay.

Very nice place. Decent prices too! Located on the main coming in from Ogunquit (about a 6 min drive into Ogunquit) Very clean and relatively modern rooms. Air conditioner (worked great) Keurig with a few pods and hotel sugar/creamer, microwave, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, hotel shampoo etc. Plenty of towels. We stayed in the motel (2nd floor) Each room has 2 chairs on the balcony. The pool has lounger chairs, tables with umbrellas and outdoor couches. Pool was immaculate as were the grounds. Pretty quiet place with the exception of the motel rooms near the road, but with the AC or fan on we weren't bothered. VERY pleasant and helpful staff. A nice welcoming energy upon arrival and all thru the stay. Wells Beach is a short 5 min drive. Also super close to grocery stores, CVS, lots of local restaurants. Theres a movie theater 4 min away for rainy days. Shopping too as well as multiple mini golfs and ice cream shops. Easy access to other towns in Maine. We would definitely stay here again!

good bang for buck

I had stayed here before, and not much has changed. it was about 4 yrs ago. the ceilings seem thin, and you could hear people upstairs moving furniture. The property outside is very well-maintained.

Front office person barely spoke to us, she was not friendly on checking in. The room had several dead flying insects on the floor. The bathroom ceiling fan sounded like a helicopter. The bed was hard.
