Wonderful

Simple but spacious room. Attractive facility and setting in a most amazing location, with Nubble Light down the road and the beach around the corner. Welcoming check-in and check-out staff.
This is a very clean property. The front desk clerk was very friendly.
I would rate their platform bed with a very soft mattress as fair but I have back issues where the firmer the mattress the more comfortable I am.
The heat is electric and on a timer. It was dry and hot when it came on.
We loved the proximity to Long Sands Beach and Route 1 as we meandered down to Kittery and then Portsmouth, N,H.
We appreciated the coffee/tea offered in the morning.
Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
No explanation for the cable TV. We had to check ourselves in. They did leave us keys, map and wifi password. The room was clean but dated. Mattresses were really too soft.
Truly a wonderful little property in York Beach. Room was super clean and the balcony was awesome. My husband and I had just gotten married in NY and it was the perfect addition to our New England honeymoon. Super close to Portsmouth and lots of cute costal towns.
They left a note on the office door explaining they were short staffed and they left our room keys in the mailbox to the left of the door. The TV did not work. If you had a problem, Instructions on the door were to ring the doorbell and someone would answer...no one did after many times ringing in a 10 min time span...I called and left a voice mail and gave up...went to my room and there were 3 people heading in the same direction as me...turned out they were employees of the hotel...I thought they were short staffed!? Turned out we needed 2 remotes to operate the TV and there was only one!!! It delayed our dinner excursion by about 1 hour and we had to venture out into a strange area in the dark...totally disappointed in the hotel...the room was OK...nice and roomy...parking was a bit of an inconvenience. 4 marked spaces of 15 minutes only (to unload or load) and one of the spaces was occupied by the owner for way more than 15 mins!!
