Lighthouse Inn and Carriage House, York

We loved the location, within walking distance to the beach. Our room was clean. The contintental breakfast was not a continental breakfast. It was a choice of a muffin or a danish. No other food. Juice, coffee and tea. The owner was rude. I heard him repremanding one of his staff on how he was trimming the weeds. Later that night while we were sitting in lounge chairs outside office area, which is suppose to be open till 9 but closes at 8, we witnessed a woman buzzing the owner and telling him her toilet was clogged and he told her he couldn't do anything about it until morning!!!

After spending 4 long hours in the car traveling from Connecticut, we arrived at the Inn on 8/18. We were checked in by a woman who didn't ask for proof of AAA membership who booked the reservation for us. My mom asked jokingly if they gave a senior discount and the woman looked at my mother suddenly grew a second head. We find that our room is on the 2nd floor which wouldn't be a problem if their steps weren't so steep and they have no elevator. During dinner, we realized that this 2nd flr wasn't going to be comfortable for the 2 of us so I stopped back at the desk on the way back in and met "Randy". Randy said that it wouldn't be a problem to move us to a room on the 1st floor since they were having a lot of people check out on Sunday. We go out Sunday morning and leave the key with "Randy" who it turns out actually owns the inn. We go back later in the afternoon and Randy tells me that our stuff has been moved to Room #23 in the back of the inn which i thought was great since that meant we were closer to the parking lot. We open the door to the room and are immediately greeted by the smell of stale, musty air and an awful noise which turns out is a humidifier which was left running for us (how sweet). After several hours of staying in that horrific room, my mom went back up to the desk to inquire if we could be moved again in the morning. She was greeted by Randy and was basically told "that if you are going to be this picky, we should have been told all of this when the room was booked." Their brochure boasts on being 300 yards to the beach. That would be true if they were right on the beach instead of being across from it with private homes blocking the view.

We have been going to this inn for about 15 years. It is clean and well maintained with efficient and friendly staff. The location is excellent, on the Nubble road and within easy walking distance to Long Sands beach. The pool and hot-tub are very well cared for and the breakfast buffet is adequate if not inspired. Overall a very welcoming place and a good value.

We think it was the best hotel in the area and we stopped to look at 3 and called on about 5 or 6 before we settled here. Many others were disgusting, expensive or overbooked. Lighthouse's service was excellent, but most of all the room was clean, fresh and new. *Other* hotels for the same price or more were old, mildew smelly, ratty carpet and sometimes didn't offer non-smoking. This hotel was not on the visitor's bureau's map, so make sure to not skip it just because of that. Our stay was overall excellent. The only regretful thing was the pool outdoor and was closed for the season (Sept-so understandable)

Spoke to Randy two days prior to our arrival, had asked him a question, while I was on the phone he was eating and answered my question with " what do I look like the weather man". He was very rude and unpleasnt.. Never ever again...The whole weekend seemed like it was never ending. But next trip for sure it won't be at The light House Inn.......

Well....upon arrival it looked nice on the exterior...the family gets to our rooms...hmm well they smelled real bad and what a great big"pool"and jacuzzi. One thing that aggravated the family the most was the bugs everywhere! you would think you feel them crawling on you at night. Bugs in the rooms...wow how clean..The staff was pretty rude..not welcoming and seemed not to happy with their jobs ..that includes everyone working andd running the place. Their was also cats everywhere that would follow you...and oh ya what a GREAT "CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST"....not...they make it seem like its this great top star hotel...not exactly.So i def dont rec this Inn.

A very nice place to go. Very quiet, yet it's close to everything. The kids loved it, the breafest was great. I will come back again.

THE ROOMS WERE NICE IT WAS VERY QUIET UP THERE. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLANT. VERY HELPFUL. WALKING DISTANCE TO EVERYTHING IN YORK. THE RESTURANTS WERE GREAT THE BEACH WAS VERY NICE AT NIGHT. GREAT FOR A ROMANTIC GETAWAY OR JUST A WEEKEND GET A WAY

The Lighthouse Inn is a great place to run away to. The person that owns the place is a very nice guy and always makes you feel at home. If you want a comfortable place were you can be your self and not have to worry about the people around you then this is the place to go. The rooms are nice and have everything you would need when your staying away from home. What i love the most when you open your door in the morning and all you can smell is the ocean. Ahhh

This is a gem of an Inn. Tucked away on Nubble Road The Lighthouse Inn & Carriage House is a real find. Randy, our host, made our stay a most pleasurable experience. Our room was exceptional. It was large, comfortable and had not one but two balconies, one on the front side and one overlooking the pool and hot tub. The back porch side balcony had a private outside spiral staircase to the patio area below! Mornings we enjoyed the delightful continental breakfast out on the patio in the company of other guests watching the antics of the Inn's playful cats. We will be back again.
