Beautiful large well appointed room and friendly attentive staff. The curtesy car is a nice extra as well as the attached restaurant/bar.

Wonderful staff. Room was quiet and comfortable. Don’t expect big closets though…
Also guest above us was making a lot of noise but not sure whether it was because of poor soundproofing or just a noisy guest.

Top Destination
1/5 - Terrible
Verified traveler
Of all the beaches we've seen in the Maine, this is by far the worst one. The beach is over crowded and the sand is gray-ish... There was a constant fog not to mention that the water was colder in that area for a weird reason.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Check the tide charts. There will be no exposed sand at high tide!
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
No parking available at 11 am
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Enjoy the beach but if you can, put your towels and other gear as close to the rocks as possible. You'll thank me. The tide comes WAY up, nearly to the rocks at high tide. After our group of 13 had to move our stuff 8 times, the locals nearby let us know this fact. Have fun!
