this hotel is top-notch. it's very expensive but if u wanna pamper urself and get away, it's totally worth it! i would reccomend staying here with a special someone.. it's definetly more of a romantic, quaint atmosphere. however i did see some families when i stayed, and they even allowed dogs!
right when u pull up, u can see the ...

mezza mezza

My husband and I loved our room - 2 bedrooms, nice, clean kitchen area and the lounge/linving room area was fabulous. We went to the restaurant for dinner and were asked snobbily if we had reservations. We said no and didn't know we needed them only to look around the dining area to find we were the only ones there. What was the big deal ...

beware of resort fee
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/02/08
I was about to book my hotel room at $300/night for june when on the 2nd page of the transaction a "resort fee" was added onto my bill. I called the hotel and they said this "fee" was non-negotiable. I believe that spending $300/night off season should sufficiently entitle a guest to use the resort without spending extra money. ...
We stayed in the fall to avoid the weddings. Its best to go off season to avoid the summer wedding season. We got a lovely room facing the ocean. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was a little small. Our gas stove didn't work and after several calls to maintenance they still could not fix it. We were a little disappointed ...

Wonderful place to relax
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/22/07
We go to this place every summer and have a wonderful time. There are weddings every weekend in the summmer, but we never found them to negate our experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the hotel is clean. If you have dogs, its a great place to bring your furry companion. It is also very family friendly, because most of the ...

Never Again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/04/06
Being from New York, the idea of vacationing at a Maine Inn sounded so appealing. I booked here and looked forward to a great summer weekend getaway. All I can say is I wished I had not wasted my time or my money.
The reviewer who stated that the front desk help was “cold” was spot on. This place charges a small fortune and cares very little ...

terrible - don't bother!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/04/06
I wish I could have given this place ZERO stars... I recently stayed at The Inn By The Sea in their only wheelchair accessible cottage/beach house. (I use a wheelchair and heard this place was "wheelchair friendly".) No where on the website or in the brochure did it state that there are weddings going on 8 feet from the cottage that I ...

Nightmarish experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/04/06
I had a terrible experience during my weekend stay at Inn By The Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine this past summer.
I truly hope anyone planning on going here will realize in advance that there are wedding and events taking place each weekend day. If you want peace, or want to hear the ocean, go elsewhere. If you want to hear drunken wedding guests ...

Wish I Never Heard of the Place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/04/06
My adult sisters and I decided to take our elderly father to a long weekend on the ocean. After much research, we booked the beach condiminium (house) and spoke with the booking agent on several occasions how much we looked forward to relaxing on the porch with our dad, looking out at the ocean.
What they never bothered to tell us, and what we ...

Charming inn and can't beat location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/05/06
We wanted to stay very near the beach and very near Portland, where we were flying out of. The suites are large with kitchens, dishes, etc. They have patios that lead out to the pool, beach boardwalk. Room was very clean. They allow pets, but we did not find any pet hair or other evidence that pets had stayed in our room. The front desk staff ...
