What guests think

At Rockland Harbor Hotel, travelers consistently highlight friendly staff, walkable location near downtown and the ferry, harbor-view balconies, and a generally solid hot breakfast, while noting an older building with some dated elements and occasional maintenance or noise issues.

Many reviews praise clean, comfortable, and often spacious rooms with harbor views. Common drawbacks include small bathrooms in some rooms, loud or aging A/C, occasional musty odors, and periodic exterior wear or construction; parking is usually easy but can feel tight at peak times. Expect a comfortable, convenient base with friendly service and harbor views rather than a luxury or brand-new feel.

A very pleasant hotel with scenic views perfect for exploring Rockland and the Midcoast. Our King Balcony room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and balcony are small but functional. The breakfast room was large and had a variety hot and cold items. There’s an outdoor patio with tables and also sofas around a fire pit. The hotel is located at one end of Rockland’s Main Street strip so it’s a short walk to shops and restaurants and to the Farnsworth Art Museum.

We did not have a good night sleep on our last night; a contractor night crew repaved the parking lot just outside our room. The room decor had a wall picture behind the TV while there was a wide open space to the right of it. Room service is available upon request only. The ice machine on our floor was inoperative, had to use the one two floors up from our room……

Great location for walking to shops, restaurants, pubs and museums; the harbor is just across the street. Loved the little balcony off the room and the fire pit/seating area. Hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. Attention to keeping the hotel neat, clean, freshly painted and tidy throughout was evident. The work out room had a nice variety of equipment plus a gym mat for yoga work. Breakfast offered nice options, which included eggs, omelets, sausage, and bacon. Coffee and tea stations were always ready to use, day or night. I would definitely return to this hotel!

The common areas and overall style of the building screams 1980, however, the rooms have been updated and it is clean. The staff is great and the breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The front patio area is nice with a good view of the harbor. The building itself really needs a modernized facelift.

This is a nice, remodeled hotel with nice views of the Rockland Harbor. It’s directly across from the ferry. I would recommend 4th or fifth floors for better views. The parking lot is large enough without any issues. It has a nice variety of the included breakfast, and each day was a little different. Bed and room temperature were comfy. Hotel is within walking distance to some restaurants, shopping and museums. There was a Keurig, microwave, and mini fridge in room. There was a nice little balcony also…but it was quite chilly when we were there! Photo was taken from third floor balcony.

Wonderful property. Location, room comfort, amenities, breakfast, & the staff were impressive for the price point. Parking was a little uneasy as we got the last spot. We had to be directed to our parking spot (next to the front sign), by the desk staff; however, I would definitely stay here again.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was great, location was close to shopping and restaurants, no problem with parking, room was spacious. Our room had a balcony with an electrical pole and wires right off of the balcony obstructing the view of the harbor. (blah) The longggg walk from the elevator to the room was very warm as the sun beamed in the many windows along the hall. I would stay there again but get a room in the higher numbers, away from the poles.

The people at the front desk and dining area make this Hotel. They were awesome. The person staffing the breakfast area was particularly great. While the facility faces the harbor, it also faces a busy main street. Please note if sensative to road noise. The hotel is tired and could use upgrading. Older dirty carpets and a funky smell in our room. Noisy wall ac. We stayed 6 hotels in New England over a few weeks. Unfortunately this one was the worst and also the second most expensive.

We have stayed here several times in the past. It has always been a nice stay. However, perhaps it was the floor (2nd) our rooms (we had two connecting rooms) were on this time, but the rooms were very noisy above us. I do not mean to say the guests above were loud, rather that the walking was exceptionally loud.

Very impressed with the staff and management of this hotel. They were plentiful and made a difference in what physically is a modest hotel. While the Harbor view is nice, it certainly would be better if not staring at the back of a ferry terminal. Immediate location is more industrial, but charming just down the street where many old buildings have been renovated and plenty of nice restaurants.
