Top South End Hotel Reviews

Ogunquit Tides Resort

8/10 Good

"An excellent quiet property showing a little wear just around the edges. Comfortable bed and nice heater for crisp October. Adequate continental breakfast. While the outdoor pool as obviously closed at the end of October, one wonders why the indoor pool was too. Ogunquit is, sorry, a nothing destination, as is Wells. Go to Kennibunkport."

Anchorage Inn and Resort

8/10 Good

"We did not use amenities. It was great to have the rear building with a small corner balcony with a view of the ocean! Water pressure in shower was great! The exhaust fan waa full of dust, so not sure it was working. I took an epsom bath to relax muscles. I loved that it had a head rest type space. Also loved the grab bars in shower for safety."

Ogunquit - The Milestone

10/10 Excellent

"The Milestone is a perfect location....close to the shops in Ogunquit and easily drivable to Kennebunkport, The ocean is a short drive or walk and the restaurants are very close by. The lobby workers are very friendly and helpful! Rooms are very clean and spacious. This was our second trip to the Milestone AND it was very good!"

Ashworth by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Parking is charged upon check-in but there was no parking. Anywhere. First off. They force valet upon you, even if you do not want it, or your car 3 blocks away. They have a few spots Under their building and the employees appear to use those. We drove around for an hour waiting for them for have an opening. It was 9pm. And their bar seemed to have all of the spots taken up. Our entire take out dinner got cold and soggy in the process and it was ny husbands birthday. 100$ worth of food. Eventually we used a pay to park across the street and walked to the hotel. For this reason alone, I would not stay there again. Got parking refunded through hotels.com"
