The Captain Stannard house is a true gem in Westbrook. There are many restaurants, shops, parks, and beaches close by. The property has a private yard and a large rear porch for relaxation. My room was impeccably clean and spacious for being the smallest one in the house. Dianne was incredibly sweet and went out of her way to help all the guests.

friendly staff and welcome on arrival, tastefully decorated. comfortable and relaxed. Breakfast could be improved, A place of this caliber, I would expect fresh bread and toast, sweet butter, eggs to order, rather than the packaged food service microwave prepared hash browns, sausage slice and packaged mini quiche tarts. The caned tangerine accented with mint was refreshing. good coffee.

The staff at this property was by FAR the best of any property I have ever stayed in. Everyone was pleasant and and helpful. Ivan in particular, took great care of me when my Uber Eats order was delayed and then ultimately cancelled because they could not find a driver. The manager of this property should be quite proud of the entire staff.

On a country road only a 5-minute drive from the fascinating town of Essex on the mouth of the Connecticut River, this is a traditional, handsome setting with excellent service and food.
We stayed in one of the newer outer buildings, and our room was spacious and nicely updated. Service was outstanding. Outer buildings an ADA challenge but not the older central inn.

I had read the property reviews before arriving. They weren’t great, so I was a bit worried. All in all, though, we did not find any concerns. Updates would be a bonus for sure. The lobby did have a musty smell, but nowhere else that we went in the building. The breakfast was easy and good. Our room was very clean and comfortable.

The hotel building is quite new, which adds to the cleanliness and comfort. the rooms are small but have everything you need for a short stay. the location is convenient next to major roads, easy to get almost anywhere in the area. despite of being right off a busy part of rt. 66, it was rather quiet. I did have some problems with the service: when i arrived around 3pm, the office was closed, with no signs on the door. A customer waiting in the car said "they will be back in 20 minutes". In the...
