Absolutely charming place. We upgraded to the larger room with the fireplace which came in handy with cold, rainy weather. Great view of the sea. Food in the restaurant was really good. Enjoyed having Irish Coffee on a inclement weather day. Loved our stay of 3 nights.

Friendly Staff and Great Location

Staff is super friendly and the hotel is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Rooms were a little older, but very clean. Location is perfect for dining (on-site is great as well), walking the boardwalk and only two minutes from the golf course. Would stay here again.

But arms is an older property that is in need of a little TLC. The staff is wonderful and nice. They’re very accommodative and helpful. Location is super convenient right in the middle of Waterville with lots of dining options and services surrounding the hotel. Parking is easy and free. But the hotel just needs some work.

Very nice location close to the sea. We could hear the waves from our room. The staff was so welcoming, they really made a difference. Food was very good for dinner and breakfast. I loved the phone in the room, which was a rotary dial phone. I had not seen one of those in ages. Convenient car park. The hotel’s building is not in its best shape and deserves some love. Room and bathroom need some renovation.

Nice place

The hotel was a modest 3 star . The location is great but the building is tired and needs updating. Breakfast was good. I just wouldn’t claim that it was a 4 star hotel, in its heyday, maybe.
