  : There was no breakfast included in the rate
  : We were placed in the third floor, walk up, sharing a bathroom with two other occupied rooms when the rest of the inn was not occupied, upon arrival we had requested a better room and were told we had paid for only the room she was giving us which was $247 considering the tragic fire across the street a week earlier it was not a good place to put people in a fire trap feeling third-floor location, considering the circumstances, the door on our room number 10 was very hard to even open. It was a bad nights sleep with all the activity using the bathroom which couldve been much nicer for everyone if they had spread us out around the underused facility. We are both 70 years old, and did not appreciate, having to go up two flights of stairs, when there are other rooms available at the lower levels, and were concerned because of the fire across the street of the week prior this third floor was not a good place to be.

  : The room was in the location I needed - very little else was even satisfactory.
  : The room was adequate, but accessing the room was absolutely awful: there was no elevator and the stairs were very steep and not suitable for senior folks like us. The biggest issue I have is that we were not told about these difficulties before we booked the rooms. Next was the total lack of environmental comforts - the rooms were very hot and humid without any form of refrigerated air conditioning - other than opening a window. The price charged for these rooms was over the top particularly for the relatively poor rooms.

  : The location of the inn is lovely - the little town has a nice general store, coffee shop, and waterfront restaurant. The outdoor firepit area was nice (after we replaced the empty propane tank in the fire pit ourselves).
  : The description of the property, particularly the individual rooms, needs to be MUCH clearer. First, we were not at the Seaside Inn, we were in the Ocean House across the street (with much less sea breeze). We expected not to have air conditioning in coastal Maine, but we need NOT expect to be in a third floor walk-up room with a treacherous staircase that was extremely warm, even at night. The inn needs to invest in window unit air conditioners for the top floor. The room itself was not sanitized (hair in the shower, dirt on the floor). The bed was very uncomfortable, the shower was too small for an average sized person. I banged my elbows on the shower walls when I tried to wash my hair. The strangest thing was how the third floor was obviously intentionally lower quality than the rest of the rooms, but without any indication on the website or difference in the pricing. I had family members staying on the second floor and they had comfortable beds. The rooms were still rustic, but were much nicer. I also had family members staying over at the Seaside Inn (despite the website making us believe we would all be in the same building) and those rooms were newly renovated a beautiful. BEWARE! Before you book, call and make sure your room is not on the third floor!
