This is a wonderful place. It's spotless and everything works. The kitchen is perfect. This is our second time here and will not be our last. The living room is spacious and comfortable. From the linen exchange, to check in, the indoor pool, the hot tub, the quiet, everything is amazing. It's close to stores and restaurants and the Beach!! The beach is right down the road! Thank you Misty Harbor. read more

Misty Harbor Resort Motel - Wells Beach-kinda High tide. - Hotels Near Me - Wells, Maine

Amazing location! Walk to 6 restaurants, the food truck, movie theatre and mini-golf. Beautiful indoor pool and hot tub. The pool patio overlooks the marsh. Room is spacious and very clean. The grounds are extremely maintained. Only one mile to Wells Beach and close to Ogunquit, Kennebunkport and Portland. Wonderful resort for a couple or family! read more

Second time staying here. Clean units, comfy bed, and the full kitchen is a definite plus. Varano's, the restaurant in the parking lot, is amazing. Beach is a little less than a mile down the road and there's a nice view of the marsh from where we stayed. It's close to a lot of everything! read more

This is a great place to stay off season for a great price. Hannaford is across the street and the kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes. nice to be able to cook when things aren't opened like summer. The pool gets crazy on school vacation weeks, exercise room is disappointing but overall nice place we will return again read more

My friend booked a 3 day reservation on Groupon on off days (M-W). The day before our arrival, we upgraded the suite to a two bedroom to accommodate more guests. During that call, the woman on the phone said check in was at 11am. Day of check in, we get all the kids and food packed and arrive at 11. At which time, the woman at the front desk(I can only assume is a different woman) is the rudest person I've ever met who works front desk customer service. Check in times are very strict at 4pm per the manager. Asked to talk to the manager and she says he's "picking up some Jamaicans at the bus station." We're unable to talk to him, won't say when he's coming back, doesn't know why we were told 11 and is accuses us of arguing when we were asking how we can keep our food cool or if we could pay more for an early check in. After inadvertently getting ahold of the manager who called while we were still talking, we were able to get access to a fridge. The manager was very helpful and understanding. I have never felt so immediately unwelcome. I've come to wells many times and this is the worst experience to date. read more

This place is priced right, excellent value. Love the sauna, pool, and hot tub. Spacious and clean suites with full kitchens--great for vacationing on a budget. Came for a romantic couples weekend, but this place would be ideal for families too. Amazing location, within walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants, and bars. We will definitely be back! read more

Thank you so much for the support you show our veterans. My husband and I were privileged enough to stay at your lovely resort Wednesday 5/30 and Thursday 5/31. The room ( really apartment ) was very clean and very large and had everything we need to make our stay comfortable. The bed was so amazing we pulled up the sheets to see what kind it was. You offer so much to the visitor, pool, hot tub, WIFI, cable, full kitchen, play ground for the kidos. This was a mini "staycation" for us as we live in Maine. We saw so many Vets and had many lovely conversations with a lot of them. We plan on visiting your resort again in the very near future. Maybe next time the Vets visit, you could host a meet and great. Not that you don't already do so much, just a thought.. Thank you again for your support to our Vets.

So, the condo itself, while a bit dated is lovely. Very clean, and we upgraded to a two bedroom where they respected the groupon rate. The upstairs loft bedroom was spacious and fit myself, husband, and two little children comfortably. The kitchen was stocked-ish, a couple pots, ONE frying pan, plenty of silverware and dishes. You do need to bring your own paper towels, in foil, etc. There are two bathrooms, both stocked with towels and 1 bar of zest soap- so bring your own. The main reason that I gave this rating of 2 (I would have given it a four), was how utterly disgusting the customer service was. Prior to driving two hours with my family including two, two and under, I called to upgrade and verify check in time and was told 11. When getting there at about 11:40, I went to the office and went to check in. Cindy was at the front desk, and I have NEVER met anyone with such poor customer service skills, this is the same woman that others have complained about via yelp review as well. "Nope, we don't do early check ins today- check ins are at 4." I explained that I was told 11 and she said that wasn't possible I was told that. When explaining that I have kids and perishables, I was told "I don't know what to tell you." She did however say it was okay to use the grounds, except the pool which was adult swim hour from 12-1pm (which I found somewhat comical as looking at the pool- it was empty). At this point both my sister and husband went in to talk with her. I had absolutely no qualms about not getting a room, but at least having some sort of empathy or suggestions would be better than the abrasive 'I'm not going to argue with you.' At one point, she even held the sign up about check ins to our faces.' Apparently they had a large amount of check outs yesterday which somehow affected check ins the following day because they hadn't clean the rooms yet. I again let her know that I was told 11, and I would like to speak to a manager, which she replied "He's not here, he's out picking up the Jamaicans". (Whom I can only assume is her horrendous way of saying the cleaning staff ) I further pushed to speak to the manager and after a couple minutes back and forth with her 'assuring me- he won't call' and then refusing to take my name and number, the manager just happened to call. She then proceeded to talk to the manager 'oh thank god you called Todd, I've been arguing with this customer for ten minutes' like I wasn't there. It was awesome. She went to hang up on him, but I demanded again to speak with him. Credit where credit due, I talked with him, and while listening that I in fact didn't care about the room as much as my kids and the perishables, he did say he would address the wrong check in time given and had Cindy give me a key to my initial room that I had before upgrading to keep my items in their fridge. I immediately had to give the key back and then purses around town where everything was essentially closed for four hours with two very sleepy kiddos. Overall we're very relaxed, reasonable people. The three of us all work in customer service (I'm a mental health professional) and no point said you statements or raised our voices. Simply we were looking for some solutions (can you call us when a room is ready, is there a fridge even in this office? Is there a place with a tv and couch in town). If the manager hadn't called when he did, I was in the process of trying to figure out how t get a refund to move on to a different place (knowing fully well I wouldn't get it the way things were going). I feel bad leaving this review, overall the stay was pleasant and the grounds were well kept- but the incident upon check in was enough to absolutely start my stay off at a horrendous point. It left a bad taste in my mouth all three days, to the point I avoided the pool and office. I will not return, and I will not be recommending. read more

Facilities are fine. Clean and well kept. My concern is about the desk staff. Even though off-season the facility was fully booked including a large contingency of children that spent hours upon hours running back and forth on the upper level. None of the adults with them felt the need to speak to them. The day clerk asked me to identify the specific rooms so staff could call the room, wildly inappropriate to ask me to stalk/observe young children in order to get this information, when I asked if I could change my checkout date to get away from this trip ruining behavior she said no, but the evening manager could help. Evening manager initially refused until I made a stink and then she called the manager above her and got authorization to allow me to check out a day early without having to pay (they have a very strict cancellation policy). Throughout trying to address my issue, at times she told me they were just kids having fun and I need to realize that it was Christmas break and since it wasn't during quiet hours there wasn't a lot she was overly inclined to do. I stood my ground and eventually she did agree to help identify the rowdy crew herself, made some calls to the parents and the constant running finally stopped. Her overall customer service attitude was really poor. read more

Worst customer service department that I have ever dealt with!! Stay away if you are smart!!! Would not work with me due to a medical emergency cancellation. Kept my money anyway My advice is to find somewhere better that actually has a customer service department that cares about customers!! read more

I don't feel like giving them a star they not deserve one. Todd and Cindy were very rude to us. When we complained about getting a handicap chair for my sister in law they refused to provide one. To make matters worse the manager Todd said we need to vacate the property. The manager and staff should be trained to talk to Black families. When the manager Todd said that to my wife the friendly atmosphere changed to one of happiness to sadness. I believe the staff should be trained to handle black people more importantly how to address our needs and concerns read more

I had an awesome two night stay. The room and pool area was clean. I didn't have a chance to go to the restaurant on the resort but I will definitely be back to try next time! Shelly made check-in and check-out very simple. Highly recommend. read more

I stayed here last summer (2011) with family and friends. I believe I booked online for some dates in late August or September. However there was a supposedly bad hurricane rolling in that weekend. I called the hotel directly 1-2 days before I was suposed to go and they told me they would let me cancel the reservation or keep it and use it for a later date. Later, I called to reschedule, which was a breeze. Since I was already paid, they gave me a partial refund upon arrival because my new reservation was off season and costed less. I took the Amtrak from Boston and we prearranged taxis to pick us up at the train station. We got to Misty Harbor fairly quickly and easily. Once checked in, we went to our room and it was what we just about what we expected. It was clean and functionable. We had a little bit of trouble finding the pots and pans at first, but we called the front desk for help. We also called for a couple of extra blankets and they helped us there as well. The rest of the facility was good. There was a playground that the kids enjoyed. They did get muddy as water pooled on the bottom of the slide, but no biggie. The pool wasn't anything exceptional but it was clean and got the job done. The hot tub was also good. I see on their website the hot tub has been renovated for 2012.. It looks good. The gym is small, and you can be seen using the equiptment if you're walking to the checkin office which I find a little annoying... But I didn't go there to use the gym as much as to relax. The sauna was also good. The beach was a bit of a walk away.. It was tough on my mother and it would have been for the kids as well. There was a Hannaford supermarket nearby, and it was easy to walk to. My brother took the kids near by for mini-golf, which was a little hard to find but fun once they got there. We took cabs to neighboring towns like Ogunquit, but during the peak season there are shuttles that can take you to all these places. I would stay at the Misty Harbor Resort if I were to visit Wells again. If you go off season, a car would be best to get around. read more

After having a really bad experience at another hotel, I called Misty Harbor to see if they had any last minute availability. Thankfully they did! Checked out of the other hotel a day early and checked into the Misty Harbor! They saved our one beach day!! I had my two boys and my 82 year old mother who cannot go to the beach because the heat bothers her. They allowed us to check in early so she could relax for a few hours while I went to the beach with the boys. We had a room with a brand new kitchen and bath! Beautiful and clean!! They even provide towels for the pool! Wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back!! read more

We stopped in last minuet by chance after leaving another resort we had just checked into. (another story about that one). We were told that they were booked for the night but would check for any cancellations and luckily one had just come in. The Desk Staff and others went above and beyond to accommodate us and we felt welcomed right away. The room was a suite and was more than we could have hoped for, clean, bright and spacious. The location was perfect as we were in town for a concert and soon found out there was a walking path to the venue. Misty Harbor resort and Staff saved our weekend and we will definitely be back! Well Done! read more

Nasty! This motel had somewhat good looking rooms. But the fact that they gave us a SMOKING room when we didn't request one, ruined it. The management was also very rude about fixing this problem. They thought that Febreze would solve the problem! I cannot believe this place would treat paying customers like this. I wound NEVER stay here again! Also, we would've stayed here if they had fixed that problem, which we didn't. read more

Friendly Courteous crew. Great location. Claw to everything. Very reasonable. We'll be back.

We heard that the Wells ME area was a nice place for a vacation, but beyond talking with friends we did very little planning or research. People who pick a vacation spot without doing their homework get what they deserve - which in our case was four nights at the Misty Harbor Resort Motel. A nice beach combers hangout, but it's a lot worse than anyplace I stay throughout the year on business. read more

I had arrived at the resort having no reservations due to a problem with another hotel and was greeted by a smiling face and was given a well appointed room well within my budget. All recommendations by the front staff were awesome and given with no hesitation. The inn was quiet and clean. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering staying here read more

Decent place to stay with family but the fact that they advertise free wifi and it never works is infuriating.

Soooo first things first I usually love misty harbor I have been coming here for years..... This is the 3rd year in a row on my sons birthday we have come here, made cake and had the party in one of the great suites... Why you are losing my future business and have really upset me to the point I am leaving my first review ever.... Today is my sons fifth birthday and we had just gotten back from the beach all my son wanted to do was swim. So at 12:20pm we entered the pool past front desk lady. My 5 year old and myself entered the pool after respectively showering off and swam till 12:47 pm. At 12:47 the front desk lady came and told us the we must leave the pool because 12-1 pm is adult swim time. There were 2 older people swimming and laughing at my son... He is a sweet boy. When the lady told us to leave the pool he began to cry as swimming was all he wanted to do and was probably a little tired. Now at this point is when you say ok we are a family resort it's 15 minutes from "adult swim" time to end so go ahead and swim. Now I am a stickler for rules but all there was was a small sign as you enter the pool last thing a dad is looking at while watching a five year old... unreal there is even an adult swim time!!! Also it's not like we were 10 -12 year olds screaming!! Shame Shame Shame on you Misty Harbor read more

I was amazed. I booked this from 3000 miles away, and it was perfect for my family. The suite was clean and cozy. Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting while there was friendly and helpful. read more

An awesome place. Very welcoming & extremely near the sea. Most Summer's it my favorite spot to stay at!!!

On arriving July 15th, 2019 at 12:30 PM we couldn't check in until 4:00 PM but we're meeting up with my other daughter who had arrived one hour prior. We decided before heading to Ogunquit we'd check out the facility and pool. As soon as we walked into the pool area just to take a look, we were harshly greeted by the attendant on duty (husky, brown haired girl) telling us we couldn't be in there from 12N - 1:00 PM adults only. When asking how often the trolley came by, instead of just telling us, she directed us to the room across the office to the left for a brochure. Upon our return to finally check in at 5:30 PM we were greeted by a blonde woman behind the desk who was so courteous, helpful and pleasant. When we retired for the evening at 10:55 PM after swimming, I went to use a small pot to heat up water for tea and this is what was found when I removed the cover (picture enclosed). Once in the room we noticed a beeping going off every 2 minutes or so and realized it was the smoke detector. Thought we could deal with it but not getting any sleep over the noise we decided to unscrew it and remove the battery. As I have these in my home and they are hardwired we figured it would stop, but it didn't. July 16th given it was our only full day to do all of what we had planned, we decided to wait until we got back to let the front desk know about the problem. Not getting back until 7:00 PM my daughter phoned the front desk to let them know. The same brown haired girl that we encountered on arriving came up to the room. She proceeded to talk to me as if I was a child being scolded and insinuated we broke it as she could not figure out how to screw it back on or replace the battery. She had to call the manager for instructions but my daughter who had called her, ended up fixing it for her and once the battery reset the beeping stopped! On checking out on July 17th, I brought the pot into the office to the same brown haired girl to show her, as I didn't want to get charged $25.00 for dirty dishes left (as stated in their policy). I wanted her to know it was there when we arrived. With no apology given, as most would assume you'd receive, she just took it from me, gave me my receipt to sign and without even "I hope you enjoyed your stay, thank you for coming" she said NOTHING! I as well as my 2 daughters are nurses and my 4 granddaughters (that were with us) have never had the experience of coming across someone so rude especially when dealing with the public. All said Misty Harbor was very nice, reasonably priced and conveniently located to everything but sadly she totally ruined our experience! If the blonde haired woman had been there the whole time I would have given 5 stars! Why the attendants don't wear badges or introduce themselves upon greeting guests is unusual? read more

3.5 stars. I stayed at Misty Harbor last year and took advantage of their early spring off-season rate, and plan on doing that again soon. Its your basic motel from the outside, but the rooms are actually like small condos and efficiencies, complete with a small kitchen with pots, silverware, everything you'd need to prepare a meal- we went to a nearby grocery store and cooked a few times, which was a great way to save money on vacation. The room we had was a one bedroom with a pullout couch in the living room, and there are many other types of rooms with different accommodations. The decor and furniture are definitely dated and the wireless hardly worked for me. Also, the room comes with a DVD/VCR combo, for which you can borrow a DVD (just a few selections) or VHS tape (many, many selections. I find this to be charming.). The recently redone indoor pool and hot tub were really nice. The motel is within walking distance of the beach, and driving distance of many other cool towns, including Portland (about 30 minutes by car). All in all this is a nice place to stay on a budget, and they have all kinds of package deals on their website. read more
