Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its prime location by the beautiful estuary and walking distance to the town center. The cozy rooms with comfortable Adirondack chairs and a welcoming fireplace were delightful. However, the dining experience with grilled Teppanyaki fish left something to be desired. The service was impeccable, and the facilities were top-notch, offering great value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's perfectly located next to the dunes that lead to the beach and just a short walk away from the lively town center of Ogunquit. The rooms are cozy and inviting, complete with a king bed, Adirondack chairs, and a charming fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was top-notch, and the housekeeping staff ensured everything was spotless throughout my stay. While the Asian dishes at the restaurant were delightful, the dining experience left a bit more to be desired. The facilities were excellent, providing everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable visit.
I was thrilled with my stay! The hotel sits perfectly, right next to the beach and a stone's throw away from charming restaurants. The rooms were impeccably clean and oh-so cozy, and the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. The only downside was the somewhat limited dining offerings. On the bright side, the pool area was a delightful retreat. The pricing was fair, but it would have been even better if Wi-Fi was complimentary.
