"Nice place to stay for a little getaway. 13 min walk to Footbridge Beach and not right in the hectic downtown area. There are some good restaurants in walking distance though. Heated outdoor pool is awesome too."

"Such a fun experience for my family. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Because it's Maine in Sept, nights were in the high 40s, which was too cold for our infant. The staff brought us two space heaters for the night to keep us cosy. I plan to stay at another huttopia location in the future."
