Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at this hotel, with its stunning location on Crescent beach and beautiful views of the ocean. The rooms were a mix of comfort and luxury, featuring a super comfortable king bed and every special touch imaginable. The service was friendly but could have been more customer-oriented. The dining experience on the deck was delightful with delicious fish and chips. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel is wonderfully located on Crescent Beach with breathtaking ocean views. The rooms are spacious with king size beds, enormous well-appointed bathrooms, full kitchens, and stunning views. The staff is friendly but could be more focused on customer service. The dining options could be more varied. The property offers easy access to the beautiful Maine Seacoast and is a short distance from vibrant Portland with its great restaurant scene.
The hotel offers a mix of great features like beautiful surroundings, spacious and comfy rooms, as well as friendly service. However, the dining experience could use some improvement. It's a pleasant place overall but lacks some finer touches.
