"Convenient to everything which was helpful to me w/o a car and a bad knee. Neptune Park, right across the street, was fun to stroll through, watch the sun set or just people watch. Great twisted oaks with hanging moss to admire, climb, or relax under. Welcome Center, a couple blocks up the street, is more like a souvenier shop with maps, local artwork, beachwear, pool/beach reads. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Lots of great restaurants. The breakfast at SSI was simple self-serve. Bagels, English Muffins, cereal choice. The coffee was great and available 24 hrs. Tea too. A nice touch was the iced lemon water in the self-pour canister--very refreshing. Stayed off lobby on 1st floor...can get noisy but not terrible. Had view of lighthouse. Each room is decorated uniquely which is a nice touch. Plenty of drawer/closet space. Expected a small beach across street, but only visible at low tide. Not condusive to suntanning and swimming but enjoyed walking it every night after dinner. Lots of sun and shaded places to sit in the park. Had a wonderful visit. Will go back again but stay on 2nd floor. Sienna(Midcoast Maine)"
