The property is stunning, and the suite was tremendous. We appreciated all of the little details that invited us to share great experiences together as a family, from the board games on the shelf, to the fire-pit and s'mores in the courtyard, to the walking trails along the beach, everything about the stay was simply wonderful. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marty Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very pet focused and accommodating ##### Marty Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful from start to finish! Excellent service and accommodations. Beautiful and well kept. On site restaurant with excellent food. The only way I could think to improve is to increase the pool temperature in the off season and add a jacuzzi. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janelle Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities this property was everything that I hoped it would be. I was looking for a quiet and relaxing place to spend the night before flying home after attending a conference. I stayed in a standard room in the main part of the hotel with a room overlooking the the beach and the water. This is my first time to Maine, and everything has been absolutely wonderful, especially the way the rocks and the water and the beach and the trees glisten in the snow. i’m already planning my trip back to The Inn by the Sea… ##### Janelle Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherri Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful, restful overnight. Our room/bed was nicely appointed &, attractive, & comfortable. We will be back but we were very disappointed in our dinner entrees—lamb & hanger steak- barely warm with little flavor. Toffee pudding overpriced. The wait staff was superb —please make dining as first class as the Inn . ##### Sherri Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent family friendly, kid friendly, pet friendly place. From the beautiful flower gardens to the amazing beach. The king loft suite was comfortable with a balcony and a great view. It was quiet and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Our jets in our tub dis not work which was a disappointment, but we spent most of our time on the beach. The pool was clean and the pool area was beautiful but it was a little too cold weather wise for us ro attempt a swim, although it was open ro do so. We ate at rhe Sea Glass several times and were never disappointed, it was always delicious. The room service option was great! We will definitely be staying here again. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim Oct 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely place Amazing location! Out of the hustle and bustle but easy to get into the middle of the city. The staff is over the top accommodating. Special mention to Hana she is their most valuable asset.
