What guests think

Across many reviews, Stones Throw stands out for its beachfront location with sweeping ocean views, friendly and attentive staff, and a well-liked on-site restaurant and bar, creating an easy, relaxed stay steps from York Beach.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with many featuring private balconies. Common drawbacks include small bathrooms, noisy A/C, occasional odors or maintenance issues, and stair-only access with limited after-hours support. Parking is usually straightforward, though availability and room type can affect privacy and overall feel. Expect a scenic, low-key beach stay focused on views, dining, and friendly service.

Nice hotel. Overpriced for the amenities and location. Right on beach but no elevators - having an elderly person was tough. Also parking a bit of a crapshoot. No office open after they roll the sidewalks up so no one to get info from.

We booked the balcony, ocean front view which was beautiful. The location is great, right across the street from the beach, next to the general store and restaurant/ bar downstairs. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the roof deck. The only downfall was it felt like more It's more of a party vibe but it could have been because we stayed over Memorial day weekend when it was very crowded.

Issues with mold odor in the room as well as the balcony slider would not open. Building is sagging, so doors are difficult to open and someone will eventually get an injury from this. Stairs up to the rooms need a new carpet as the existing carpets is very dark with dirt and oil. People who work at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and professional. They made a positive difference for our stay.

Floor was gritty with sand on arrival. Bathroom sink didn’t empty- slow draining, very slow draining. At our arrival Andy helped get us to our rooms- all that went smoothly. When I wondered where the volume remote was- all I needed came through with us texting back and forth. We were good with that. Also we felt the manager went out of their way to check on the timing and pick up of the trolley for a wedding we were there for. The staff was very accommodating.

Rooms

Rooms are comfortable, many with balconies and strong ocean views. Some feel small with compact bathrooms, noisy A/C or exhaust fans, and occasional maintenance issues (sticky sliders, hard-to-open doors), and non-oceanfront rooms can feel enclosed with limited privacy.

Location is excellent, across the road to the beautiful beach, however if your room is not ocean front you will be quite disappointed. Rooms are very small and have one small window overlooking other people's decks ( almost within hand reach). Zero privacy. I felt claustrophobic. It had almost a cheap motel feel. Extremely loud A/C would not let you sleep. Restaurant is fabulous tho.

Pros: comfortable bed and food restaurant. Cons: curtains are too small, street and hallway light are bright at night, hallways smelled like someone smokes inside, view is obstructed by power lines + telephone pole. Room was advertised as ocean front walkout which is not accurate. This was a 3rd floor room and did not look like the advertised room. At almost $1,300 for two nights, disappointed with quality / value.

Thank you all for making my stay so memorable and extra special - both as a hotel guest and restaurant patron! I stayed on my birthday and every single member of staff went above and beyond to help make me feel so welcomed and cherished. You are all amazing, but some extra shout outs to Andy at the front desk, and Emma and Savannah in the restaurant for making me feel like a million bucks and for spoiling the heck out of me. (Oh yeah, and the room is so well appointed, location can't be beat, and there are all the comforts you could need while here, so the hotel experience itself was awesome too.) Can't wait to come back and see you all again!

Our annual Maine visit to York Beach with stay at Stones Throw. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the view of the beach are extraordinary. I left an electric car charging connector there attached to the Tesla charger. They retrieved it for me and made arrangements to ship it to me. Their restaurant is excellent too.

Stones Throw has been our favorite restaurant for years and we were so excited to finally stay in its beautiful hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and came with an amazing view of the beach. When we arrived, the hotel had no record of my payment through hotels.com and tried to re-charge me for the full stay. Then they took down my info and said they would let me know if they had any issues. Despite being charged and paying for the second night, and showing the office staff receipts and statements, they called and texted me multiple times over the course of our stay and after we left, chasing us for payment that was already made. This really put a damper on our stay and it will be the first and last time we will stay with Stones Throw as a result. They made me feel like I was some kind of thief while I was trying to relax on a hard earned vacation. I emailed the office over 24 hours ago and have not received a response. Abysmal customer service.
