The view of the harbor was perfect. We were right near all the little shops and restaurants, but it was super quiet. The pool and hot tub were fabulous and we were the only ones in it. Great place for a little getaway!

Great location and a pleasurable stay

Lovely location. We had a sea view room for 2 nights overlooking the harbour and breakwater lighthouse. Really friendly staff. Fairly good price for our room as the Maine coast can be a little pricey. Just 2 small mentions ... The bed I had was quite creaky and the mattress seemed to be lower on one side. Wasn't too big a deal as I slept reasonably well. Other issue for me was hearing the next rooms A/C switching on and off all night. Being from the UK it's not a noise I am used to! Would stay again if I ever come this way again

Cons - The parking lot is shared with another hotel and it is very crowded. They only have one, maybe two handicapped spots. The room had a weird smell which literally is indescribable. Hoping the smell is not mold, but might be. The toilet is the size that elementary children would use. There is a “soft spot” in the floor in front of the bathroom sink. The television did not work. I am on a ten day road trip and this is my least favorite place to stay so far (day 5). This is my first review to write on this trip, but wanted to warn other potential guest about the cons especially the terrible smell as some people may be allergic to mold. Glad I am only staying one night. Pros - The scenery is nice. The room has a microwave and fridge. The water is really hot.

We loved the sauna and the indoor pool. Old and funky but served it's purpose. The front desk people couldn't have been more fun or helpful.

Although the floors may have been vacuumed in the main traffic path they actually need to be washed along with the mop boards. Maybe a once a month rotation of completing this would help.

Room was not well cleaned and musty smelling. Many water stains on the ceiling , furniture in poor condition. It was a last minute unplanned booking so was grateful to have a place to stay for the night as I was too tired to continue last leg of my drive but would not stay there again.

It was very hands off-- you go, retrieve your key from the lock box and let yourself in. But it is a gorgeous old building built like a fancy plantation - castle, in the middle of a small coastal town in pristine Maine, with a pool and a fitness center. I didn't realize it at first, but my room had a hallway to another living room area, with a balcony to sit and watch the sunrise from. Wow! Yeah, it's a great place.

The Trade Winds is an awesome location for visiting the Maine Lobster Festival, as it’s literally across the street. Be aware that being that close does have a disadvantage if you go to sleep early since you can hear the live entertainment from the main stage of the festival. We enjoyed it though since we could open the balcony door and enjoy the music from the comfort of our room. The staff were very kind and helpful. Being able to park our car and walk everywhere was another benefit.
