Everyone was super friendly and the room was great! One disappointment was that there were issues with the hot tub near the pool. When I do go away, which isn't often, I search for a hotel with hot tub/pool. The hot tub was closed when we arrived due to heat levels. We were able to use it briefly later on, although still very hot. I wanted to use it in the morning, it was scalding and definitely not usable. I have been to this hotel before and it wasn't a problem then, I'm hoping in the future to try again:(. Thank you.

We had a great one night stay. About 8 minutes from the Kittery Outlets. There was no construction done during our stay as it was the weekend so no noise issues. The hotel was very clean and my daughter enjoyed the pool. They had a cute Christmas present wrapping table if you wanted to wrap a gift. Breakfast had some good choices as well.

The temperature was very difficult to control and on a very cold night, that was quite unfortunate. It was too late at night to deal with calling maintenance. Another annoyance was the major construction project going on next door. I booked via third party ( expedia) so I suppose that's the risk I take. There was a sign at registration informing guest of the 7 AM start time for noise disruption, but had I known I would not have booked, and it was indeed noisy and disruptive. Staff were all very nice, so I don't blame my experience on any individuals
