So there's no fitness room, and no breakfast, but the place is amazing. Every room has a balcony overlooking the bay. The huge backyard, for lack of a better term also has a deck, and there's plenty of room to roam, relax, or hit the water when the weather is better. We were there in November, and saw some guy doing the polar plunge. But there's an indoor heated pool, and hot tub so you can enjoy the water year round. The lobby has plenty of goodies for sale at reasonable for a hotel prices. There's coffee, including a flavor of the day (maple when we went) and a Nespresso machine that will give you pretty much whatever you want. I can't recomment this place enough.

My husband & stayed for one night as part of a coastal trip to cycle in Belfast area. The room was spacious and had a coffee maker, small frig & a balcony. We really enjoyed using the pool and hot tub. It was a convenient location and after dining at a nearby lobster pound, we got to sit around the outdoor fire pit and chat w other guests. Overall a good place to stay. The staff were very friendly & helpful too.

From the moment you check in to the moment you check out the Staff are very helpful and pleasant. The grounds are well maintained with beautiful flowers and the grounds behind the hotel (your view from your room) are well taken care of with kept up lawns with lots of Adirondack chairs leading to a beach at Penobscot Bay. Don’t worry if you think you might of forgot to pack something because the hotel has a store in the lobby that has just about everything you might of forgotten. They also have coffee, tea and hot chocolate at no cost. You can use the hotel bicycles on a first come basis. But everything else is at a cost. It is just a nice place to go to and relax.

This amazing place has room views of the Penobscot Bay! The rooms are spacious and so clean and comfortable! They don't have a breakfast but we grabbed fast food not far away. We stayed here to spend some time seeing Belfast. They have an outdoor seating area with a fireplace table! The views are amazing! They have an expansive lawn that goes all.the way down to the bay. They have lawn chairs, a large chess game outside! You will be very glad you stayed here!

Views were great but the room was terribly outdated (looked about 50 years old) with vinyl floors and it was dirty in the vents, and in the corners with of the room and back of the closet with dust and hair. The prices were also outrageously high for what it was. No restaurant on site though they did have snacks and basic breakfast items available for sale in the lobby. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

The elevator had a very strong mold/mildew odor. Perhaps not having carpeting in elevator where it goes to the pool would be helpful. Took only the short ride to trigger my asthma. Rest of stay was great. Just avoided the elevator.

The hotel sits high on a hill with a commanding view of the water, the property offers an unencumbered walk on a manicured lawn down to the water, wonderful place to be for humans and dogs. Highly recommended!

The morning staff was rude. My daughter and I entered the pool at 8am. We were the only one's there until 8:45 when the morning manager came and told us to get out, because it was adults only for the next 15 min. I offered to leave if anyone came and that it was only 15 minutes. He refused to negotiate and was very rude. Odd policy to bar children from the pool during the first hour of the day, whoever planned that has never traveled with kids. Will never go back

The room was comfortable and anyone would easily notice the building is SO WELL MAINTAINED and loved by all who work there. I’ll miss being there. Oh, and the fact that every room has THE VIEW is amazingly great original planning.
