I tried the dueling mules cocktail and loved the addition of strawberry syrup in your typical Moscow mule. For food, we got deviled eggs, the Moroccan chicken, skewers, and the pork belly. All of it was delicious. The deviled eggs were some of the best I've ever had. Would definitely go again!

We started at the bar waiting for a table and the bartender was friendly and helpful as we perused the menu. We sampled several small plates (lamb kebab, chicken skewer,...) which were tasty. Table service was spot-on (Pip!) with a busy night crowd to boot) We watched the fog roll in, and, watched it roll away again! Loved the roof top with comfy seating options and heaters as the night air gave us a chill. Worthy of Five Stars.

When I first arrived, my room smelled terrible, like rotting food. I went to the front desk to let them know, and the woman there couldn't have seemed less concerned. I was moved to another room, but it smelled just as bad. I tried to deal with it, but eventually had to ask to be switched again. The third room didn't have the same odor, but instead smelled like it had been doused in cheap air freshener to cover something up. Not exactly a great start. At that point I considered finding another hotel, but it was late and the room itself at least appeared clean. Unfortunately, the noise situation was just as bad. If you plan on sleeping past 6 am, don't count on it. Unless you're on the top floor, you can hear every footstep from the room above you. The floors seem to have virtually no soundproofing, and I heard the guests above me constantly throughout my stay. The location is great, I'll give it that. But honestly, that's the only positive thing I can say about this place. The customer service is awful, the staff is rude, the rooms smell bad, and the lack of soundproofing makes it nearly impossible to relax. Save yourself the headache and stay anywhere else.

The bed was a little too soft for our liking and you could hear the people above you walking around making it hard to sleep. Other than those two complaints we enjoyed the room. The balcony was nice when people weren't smoking. The breakfast was nice with multiple options for everyone. Breakfast options included eggs, omelet, cereal, muffins, oatmeal, Pop-Tarts, fruit, yogurt, pastries, sausage, coffee, juice, and there was plenty of seating.

The person at the front desk named Jeremy was extremely rude and we ended up leaving the hotel without staying. Daniel (the other person at the front desk) was nice and much more pleasant to deal with. We do not recommend this hotel as we find the attitude in general being too rude (it is not only the north east attitude, we lived in the northeast for decades. This was way worse). Again though, thanks Daniel for being nice and helping us with our refund. For Jeremy: learn a thing or two about customer relations.

There are a limited amount of spaces in front with zero room to maneuver your car to fit in a space. There is a public lot right next door for a fee and hopefully you'll get a space. We were in the Waterfront King Suite. The room was lovely and had a great view!! However, getting hot water was inconsistent. We had noisy neighbors who we could hear using the hairdryer at 6:42am, and shouting down the hall and slamming their door at 7:30am. At 10:45pm there were sounds like chairs being dragged over hardwood for about 30 minutes. They do give you an opportunity to order breakfast that is delivered to your room and a time you specify. However, both days I had rancid milk for my coffee. I wrote a note to the staff after the first morning, and they served spoiled milk to me again on the second morning!! The food was also vastly under seasoned. I ordered the quinoa bowl both days and got two totally different dishes. And, my wife's potatoes were completely burnt. So for the money we spent on the room, I cannot recommend this place due to parking, noise, and food quality.

You can find Ledges by the Bay at 930 Commercial St, Rockport, ME 04856. This is on the main…read morecoastal road that stretches along several coastal towns. There's plenty of on-premise parking. We ended up spending a week with the Ledges are our base - it's ideally located between the towns of Rockport and Rockland with easy access in either direction. We were in a room with a kingsized bed with a balcony - the coastal view from the balcony is wonderful and the air very fresh and clean. The room was immaculate and included an empty dorm-sized refrigerator and large TV. The layout was interesting with an extra sink in the larger room outside of the bath which we found very convenient. It had all the usual bits - I believe this was an older, classic motel that has been upgraded, but it's retained the original neon (No) Vacancy sign - we would use it to figure out how close were were to the entrance (there's three (No) Vacancy signs traveling north from Claws so by counting them it made it easier to look for the entry, the roads are very dark and often foggy. Breakfast is in a room behind the service desk and included most of the regular suspects. Most of the proteins were vegetarian except for hardboiled eggs. You have the ubiquitous waffle-maker and a coffee machine that makes coffee to order - I found it pretty weak but in general most of the coffee I've tried in Maine has been watery. The owners also offer vegetarian Indian food on the weekends - you order through a website and walk over to pick them up - unfortunately we got too busy to try them out but plan to the next time - heard many good comments about the food and it smelled divine. The staff at the Ledges were super nice and very accommodating. We tried to keep the room very clean (we tend to be super clean anyway) and used the towels sparingly - hopefully they didn't mind forgoing the daily cleaning. This is a solid 4.2/5 stars.

This hotel is okay. There is a microwave in office which is again "no" to fish food. Come on living by the coast, how can someone say No to fish. Lot of spiders especially in front of door and balcony. I was scared to do in and out from room. AC was on the top of the wall, meaning you have to stand on the bed to access it.

They welcomed us to the Inn, gave us a tour and some fresh baked cookies. When we came downstairs in the morning Lauren had set out coffee and fresh baked crumpets. For breakfast she served overnight oats with chia seeds and blueberry compote followed by a tomato artichoke frittata and salad. Everything was excellent! Since we are avid hikers Greg recommended the Mount Battie trail which is within walking distance from the hotel. As we were heading off for our hike, Lauren provided us with more fresh baked cookies still warm from the oven. Greg and Lauren made us feel right at home as did their son Elliott. Elliott has a true entrepreneurial spirit and is very knowledgeable about the Inn and the area despite his young age. It was a pleasure staying here.

Do you want homemade cookies or brownie at the end of the day packaged and prepared just for you? Do you want to walk a couple of blocks to the charming downtown and waterfront of Camden?

If so, make the reservation now! The Blue Harbor House is charming, romantic, and well maintained. My wife and I stayed here four nights recently and used this location to not only spend time in Camden, but to visit other nearby towns like Rockland, Bath, Brunswick, Rockport, and Belfast. Don't forget to visit the Cellar Door Winery in neighboring Lincolnville. Everything worked in our Snug Harbor Suite to perfection. Housekeeping did a great job each morning cleaning and replacing whatever was needed. The innkeepers, Matt and Michelle are warm and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked our reservation, they began making us part of their family. Just talking to them and some of the other guests about life was relaxing and therapeutic. The price here is very reasonable and worth every penny. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. As I said earlier, there is no need to look any further.

It has wonderful harbor views and is a short stroll to downtown shops and restaurants. We spent 3 glorious nights in the New Amsterdam Suite. The suite is quite simply huge with a fireplace in a large sitting room and separate bedroom (with a king size feather bed) plus a bathroom as large as an airplane hanger. The suite has two private porches and windows with spectacular views everywhere. While the structure is 140+ years old, it has modern and luxurious furnishings. The lounge is filled with jars of old-time candies. If you have a sweet tooth, this space is close to heaven on earth. As impressive as the inn is, it pales in comparison to the staff. They keep the inn spotless and running efficiently. Special shoutouts to Sara, Sam, and Hope. These ladies made our stay magical. Their attention to detail made it feel as if we were the only guests on the property. Our visit did have one negative and it was a BIG one. We had to leave!!!!
