We had a wonderful, restful overnight. Our room/bed was nicely appointed &, attractive, & comfortable. We will be back but we were very disappointed in our dinner entrees—lamb & hanger steak- barely warm with little flavor. Toffee pudding overpriced. The wait staff was superb —please make dining as first class as the Inn .

Our family stayed at Inn By The Sea for a weekend in January. The property is stunning, and the suite was tremendous. We appreciated all of the little details that invited us to share great experiences together as a family, from the board games on the shelf, to the fire-pit and s'mores in the courtyard, to the walking trails along the beach, everything about the stay was simply wonderful.

this property was everything that I hoped it would be. I was looking for a quiet and relaxing place to spend the night before flying home after attending a conference. I stayed in a standard room in the main part of the hotel with a room overlooking the the beach and the water. This is my first time to Maine, and everything has been absolutely wonderful, especially the way the rocks and the water and the beach and the trees glisten in the snow. i’m already planning my trip back to The Inn by the Sea…
