Nice getaway

It was perfect for a quick getaway mid week. Very close to restaurants and shops so we could walk . The room was comfortable and very clean. The waterfront views from the room of Casco bay were stunning. The staff were super kind. The he pool and exercise room were small but weren’t crowded.

Overall, it was a decent stay. Food was great, hotel was clean and I liked their conscious effort to reduce their carbon footprint! One female front desk member was completely uninterested in being there and it SHOWED. Pool and jacuzzi are both tiny. It would be a benefit to have a 2-hour period per evening where kids aren’t allowed in the pool area. We couldn’t enjoy the pool all weekend. No stairs available, had to take a pretty slow elevator. $40 valet parking.

The only the thing that was wrong was that the clock alarm went off at 6 AM and it took us a few minutes to shut it off. By that time I was wide awake. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the wait staff to make sure that the clock alarm is off when a new guest is coming in.
