"This was our favorite stay of the entire trip! We flew into Boston, drove up to Salem, and then made our way here and were so glad we did. The location is perfect, right in between Ogunquit and Kennebunk and just a block from the beach. Our room was very quiet, clean, and comfortable. Sheridan, who worked breakfast, was truly the delight of our entire stay. She was so pleasant and helpful, and she gave us some great recommendations for places to visit and eat while we were out sightseeing for the day. Every recommendation was spot-on! Breakfast was made to order and there was so much delicious food and coffee. You definitely won’t leave hungry. We absolutely loved our stay and would happily return!"
