    Property was very clean. Owners were very friendly when checking in and addressed any questions very quickly with good satisfaction. Great easy walk to Long Sands beach, and not a bad walk to Short Sands either.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The location was very central to both Long Sands and Short Sands beach. Some things on the property could use upgrading; the chairs outside the room were rusting and the toilet in the room was so low to the ground! Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay.

    I booked this stay before reading reviews and then was a bit skeptical. However our stay was flawless. We had a queen room in the carriage house and it appeared fairly newly renovated. The bed was perfect, multiple pillow choices, water in shower was hot, fridge worked well and the air conditioner and ceiling fans kept the room at perfect temperature. The pool was clean (appropriately warm) and the property is perfectly situated between long and short sands beaches. All staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. We have no complaints and would definitely stay here again.

    Great location but the room and amenities were very average.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    A very good choice for York Beach which is a less than a 5min downhill walk from the property. The room was clean, odorless, spacious and the bed was on the firmer side, which I prefer. Available outlets at the head of both sides of my bed. Crisp, clean linens and large bath towels. No funky aromas from the in-window a/c unit which kept the room at my desired temperature on a hot and humid summer day and night. The pool area was clean, uncluttered and not busy. The pool water was crystal clear and refreshing. Plenty of pool towels available in pool-side, self-serve bin. 2-3 good restaurants overlooking the beach within a half mile or so, same for breakfast counters/cafes and snack-bars. Downtown/touristy area less than a mile walk. SUPER FRIENDLY, accommodating staff!!

    We stayed here for a second year. My only complaint was the hot tub was not functional during our stay. Im sure they repaired it but it was something we liked during our last stay. The pool is great and very clean, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are very friendly.

    pool was pretty cold for being a "heated pool" staff was rarely at front desk, but were helpful when i did see them great location

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    staff were helpful and very nice. The stay was very nice. The rooms could use upgrades like new carpeting. This is a nice place to stay in a great location.

    Years ago, this was our preferred York hotel.The new owner has not made service or upkeep a priority. We will never stay at this hotel again

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was not set up adequately the sheets felt like there was sand on them the parking was tight and out of control. I felt deceived I thought I was getting a luxurious room. The paint was scuffed the handicap rails in the shower were coming out of the walls. There was only one light in the room and the screen and windows were broken. It felt dirty like it wasn’t clean and we saw 2 cleaners.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I think this will be a regular destination for me. Nice walk to the beach and restaurants. Room was clean and AC worked great! Staff was so helpful and pleasant. Private parking. Pool was very clean and sun chairs were in great shape. Bummer the hot tub wasn’t working. 😢

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Overall ok but definitely overpriced and the staff was a bit rude when I arrived. I didn't even realize their was a hot tub until then last day. I had no idea coffee was available in the lobby, either. I felt like I was a more of a bother than a guest.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The bed / pillows were very uncomfortable. I woke up hurting because it was so bad.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The owner was completely inhospitable. My son and I traveled 5 hrs by car and arrived an hr early. Told us that if we parked our car in the lot (two cars in it) he would tow it. Never meet an owner so inconsiderate to a paying guest staying at his hotel. Made us leave and pay for parking in town. We then returned 45 min later to check in. Terrible management. I would never go back.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The grounds could use some work, just general cleaning of weeds new signs would be a quick fix

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Not as clean as we expected, the hot tub was nice but a little dirty. Weird smell when we first checked in

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pictures on line are not accurate room was very dated and if anyone was staying above you all you hear is them walking around. No garbage pickup,had to ask for clean towels,tv had to unplug cable every time you wanted to watch, tv could have been a little bit bigger hard to see. Weeds growing up around the windows very un kept
