Everything was wonderful, from the location, to the room, to the friendly owners as well as the other patrons. For three days there was never a grumpy face among anyone. There was only one negative thing: being woken by the smell of sunrise potatoes being made for breakfast. Revenge was gotten by eating the culprit so all was good in the end. I absolutely would not hesitate staying here again, so much so that it may make me return for another visit soon.

They provide snacks and drinks all day. Staff is wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. This is worth your stay! We will be back!

This is a review I don't want to write…read more Our 12-day road trip in honor of our being married 20 years was an incredible experience, which we shall cherish for the rest of our days. As much difficulty as I had planning it (for a variety of reasons I won't bore you with), everything ended up turning out GREAT. Ironically, though, the one place I was MOST excited to experience... Topside Inn... turned out to be our least favorite, and that makes me sad and even a little angry, and that's why I don't want to write the review. I've written many a negative review if a place warrants it, but this one still bothers me. It wasn't that it was horrible. No. In fact, I would probably say that our stay was even "decent" overall, but there were some annoyances and disappointments. I'll start with the disappointment. We stayed at this inn during our actual anniversary. The person assisting my travel agent friend who booked it said how excited they were at the inn. Here's the irony... not only did they do NOTHING for it, they couldn't even muster saying "oh, we heard it was your anniversary. Happy anniversary." NOTHING. Not one word. Not one gesture. Did I need them to do something? No. We had our own celebration, but at every other place we stayed for our 12-day trip, the other places somehow acknowledged our anniversary with kind words and/or some gesture... like a little box of chocolates or a 1/2 split of sparkling wine/champagne. Something. Did I expect anything? Not at all... but again, when the reservationist made an initial fuss over our anniversary being at THEIR place and how exciting it was, yeah, I expected at least a greeting. Now for the annoyances. I have a bad back and bad knee. The reservationist was given a full explanation of what our room needs would be. No stairs, easy access, difficulty with uneven ground, and they assured my travel agent friend they had the perfect room for us. They said the room would be on the ground level with no stairs involved. The problem is that they did not pay attention because I ended up dealing with very uneven ground walking up and down a gravel incline, along with a few stairs to boot, and they could have given us a room on the same level as the parking lot where we'd only have to wheel our suitcases a few feet to the room without any stairs, gravel or inclines. In a few words, they BLEW IT. It wasn't easy for me to deal with the slippery gravel, not to mention the incline and the few stairs, but I dealt with it. I just know it could've been MUCH EASIER if THEY had paid attention. I had never been to their property before, so I would have no way to know how things were laid out or what room would suit me best... but they did. The room itself was clean and SOMEWHAT comfortable. I say only somewhat because the mattress, at least in the room we stayed in, was very weird. The sides of the mattress severely sloped downward, so that when I would sit on it or even lay, I felt like I would roll right off... esp. on the side of the bed where I slept. This was an issue throughout our stay, and it definitely posed a challenge to deal with it. Another issue I had with the room was that the shower was small, but worse than that, it was incredibly slippery. I was terrified I was going to fall because there was nothing to hold onto; nor was their any non-slip mat or strips. People rave about the breakfasts served here. I was expecting some incredible elaborate feast, based on what we read and were told. However, I was completely underwhelmed with the breakfast when we were there. Basically, we were given scrambled eggs and sausage, neither of which was anything special in taste or presentation. There was some kind of strawberry sauce over a biscuit, and while it looked pretty, it had no flavor. I'm not a cereal eater, so I didn't have any. I don't know... it was a big miss to me. I just didn't see or taste why people think this is so wonderful. It completely eluded me. We paid a lot of money to stay here. It should've been a lot better for what we paid, and by the way, we paid less everywhere else and got much better service, much better comfort, and we were treated better by any of the other places we stayed at. There are enough other choices in this town that if we ever return, it won't be to this establishment. Again, it wasn't bad... it just wasn't great either.

Breakfast was very good and promptly delivered to our balcony tables each morning. Location is great - very walkable to town and a very quiet cove. We did not use the hot tub because it was restrictive. You had to book a timeframe before the office closed at 5pm otherwise it is padlocked. Kind of a damper to a what could be a spontaneous romantic evening. We tried to light the fire pit on our last night but it was out of gas. We did have one recommendation. When travelers arrive they appreciate a bathroom to use during check-in. Well there was none after our 5 hour drive and our rooms were not ready (prior to 3pm). we were told to walk 5-10 minutes down to town and we would find a bathroom there. Unacceptable. Overall we would stay again and recommend to others.

The inn offers coffee/tea all day, and has a small breakfast offering that we did not partake in. There is a small pool that our toddler loved as well! We can't wait to go back next summer.

There's no way that you can reasonably walk or ride a bike down to the town center unless you're into steep hills. Usually, there's no issue with parking downtown. There was a parade in the town center, and we were able to find parking along the street fairly easily. There's also some parking lot that are on the honor system for about $10.

Nostalgic...what a cute "retro" motel! Simply charming!…read more Built, owned and operated by the Lewis family. When the family opened the motel in 1955 it was the region's first! Tim Lewis (the current owner) is the sweetest man. He is wonderful, down to earth, kind, honest, welcoming, helpful and very informative. From the time you show up he makes you feel like you've known each other forever and treats you like you're an old friend visiting. He sets the tone for you to have the most wonderful and comfortable stay you can possibly have. We simply loved the retro décor with the knotty pine paneling and handmade wooden furniture from the 50's. He has updated with TV's, cable, and Wi-Fi, but aside from that most décor and the bathrooms remain the same...it's pretty cool actually. I really liked having a screen door on our room too...how cool is that? Moreover, the motel is clean and he keeps the grounds immaculate. Since this is an older motel, you may notice some of "accessories" missing from a more modern motel. The rooms are smaller, so they can't accommodate some of those "things". If there is something you need or desire...just ask. I think you'd be surprised at what he has on hand. The motel is located in the perfect area/location. You are a short walk from the downtown area, yet far enough away not to have a lot of noise. You can absolutely walk everywhere once you are there. The motel is very reasonably priced for the area and does not include breakfast. Tim can make some great suggestions, but please don't worry...restaurants are literally a 5 minute walk away or less. Speaking of suggestions...if you need ideas or information on anything in the area or Maine in general ask Tim...he is simply a wealth of information and ideas. We actually altered our personal itinerary to add a few things after chatting with him. He travels a lot, so he has information on a lot more too, but that's another story. If you are looking for luxury accommodations, a more modernized place with all the bells & whistles, etc....this isn't it. If you are looking for something different, out of the norm, or maybe a trip down memory lane and/or just want an overall great stay with a good night's rest in a comfortable room...this is your place! I would recommend staying here 110%! End Note: When we left I/we felt sad and we only stayed a few days. Tim was so kind that it was like leaving a dear friend or family behind. I hope we get a chance to visit again one day, but in the meantime all I can do is recommend it to you... {17 - pictures & video clip posted}
