What guests think

Reviews of The Poland Spring Resort describe a historic, scenic property with friendly staff and lots to do, from golf and museums to a pool, though many note dated buildings and occasional confusion about multiple buildings and check-in.

The grounds, mountain views, and overall sense of history are praised repeatedly. Cleanliness is often good, but some guests report dirty or dusty rooms, lingering odors, or pests, and housekeeping misses such as missing linens. Rooms are generally basic and old-fashioned, with inconsistent bed comfort, noticeable noise from neighbors or traffic, and occasional heating or AC issues. Expect a charming, activity-filled stay in a vintage setting rather than modern luxury.

No elevator. I am disabled. The hotel could not accommodate me for a first floor or in a building with an elevator. I did call after I made the reservation to see what could be done. Nothing.

The rooms are very simple- comfortable and clean. Lots of running / walking trails and interesting stone museums. A unique - in a very good way - resort.

Ok for an Inn. Have stayed at worse Inn's before. Beds need to newer and the shower heads need to be replaced. The grounds are beautiful, so much to do with the family. There is enough to do so that you never to leave the facility. Museum's are great to see and interactive for kids. Highly recommend for families looking to attend a resort as long as you can get past to quality rooms. The buildings are old and have amazing chacter but with that comes outdated rooms. Close enough to ocean and lakes if there is a need to escape.

Think of low budget Dirty Dancing and that's basically the resort. Other than private home rentals, they have monopoly for that area. They did replace mattresses from 5 yrs earlier, a huge relief. Don't expect typical hotel services (e.g. no daily housekeeping unless you ask each day by 9 a.m. tho not a guarantee!) no in-room phone, so obviously no room service, no elevator, VERY old bathrooms, faucets, etc. Noise from surrounding rooms pretty constant. Too bad as grounds are lovely. Great history, activities available,golf course, nice pool etc and staff are friendly.

This is a great property if you don’t mind staying in rooms that are old, uncomfortable, and a bit depressing. The property itself is great—it's quiet, safe, and surrounded by pretty scenery. Maine is expensive, so this resort is a good deal, but the rooms, although clean and well-maintained, look old and cheap, and they are not comfortable.

Lovely area and grounds, rooms are dated and kind of old school but clean and bed was really comfortable. If you are concerned about noise the walls are thin and if you are near the lobby you can easily hear people talking - there was a good Beatles band but again easy to hear if close to the lobby at all. Friendly staff, food was decent. Lobby could use some updating too but the leather sofas were good. Seems to be mostly a golf resort for most folks. Not a lot to do in the area unless you want to fish or golf or swim.

We did not realize when we booked that we were on the 3rd floor with no elevator and we had to lug up 11 month old twins and our other kid plus all our crap. The hall smelled like pot and the air conditioning in the room was just a window unit that barely worked. The air was musty and and the sheets had an order to them. All and all we won’t be back

Beautiful location, Very clean but very dated. Shower water was hot, common areas very clean. Supposed to have a “quiet zone” after 10 PM but could hear neighbors TV blaring all night through the wall (as well as hearing the next room neighbor yawning and talking ) and the beds were the absolute worst beds we’ve ever slept in-Very creaky as well as hard as a rock. (Reminded me of those old solid top boxsprings that they had back in the day-not trying to be snarky, just descriptive.) Could’ve dealt with the thin walls if the beds were better

i checked in at 3pm. I was given a room at the Pesidential Building. This is 1/4 mile away from the primary recotion area.The handicap is down hill and 100 yards from the front door. When i arrived at my room , housekeeping had never been there. The furnishing are also very shabby. I tried to call the front desk,nobody answers the phone, it goes to voice mail. I left this "resort" and went to another hotel.Beautiful grounds, Shabby rooms.

VERY "mom and pop" feel to a nice, unassuming hotel. The front office is welcoming and helpful, the beds are some of the best I've stayed at, and the shower's water pressure is VERY nice. We stayed for one night, but there is a community kitchen you can use so if you stay longer, you can have convenience of cooking a meal and not eating out the whole time. Only slight complaint is that you can hear the main road at times, but it didn't upset our sleeping.
