We highly recommend staying! We were only there one night but it was our favorite overnight of our trip and struggled leaving the next day. The property is meticulously maintained. Our room was very clean and the entire property is beautifully curated. Tom was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations for the rest of our trip. The home is right on the beach so we could have walked the beach or sat watching it for hours. We were there in September but would love to go back in the summer...

This property is beautiful. It sits in the historic area of the old port. It is very close to the waterfront, restaurants, shops and historic areas. The mattress and sheets were superb. While in the old port, we took a trolley tour which took us out to Portland headlight and then gave us a tour of of the old port. You can catch fairies from about two or three minutes walk away, we would strongly recommend this hotel.

My sister and I reserved twin beds with a shared bath for two nights. The first night we asked if there was room with a private bath available. There was and we were given that room for just a bit more in price. The next day we had to move, but the staff moved our luggage to the room with shared bath. Shared bath was fine, not a problem ever getting in and we saw no one else involved in our "sharing". Staff very pleasant, restaurant great for breakfast; we did not have dinner there. ...
