“Good value while it lasts”

Great staff and good value, especially considering we visited during high season. The main limitation is that the physical plant is showing its age.

Great staff and good value, especially considering we visited during high season. The main limitation is that the physical plant is showing its age. Other reviews have lamented that the previous owners sold out, but I’m sure they merely faced reality: not enough capital to finance the enormous renovations the place requires. The new owners now face the conundrum of finding a business model that will fund the cost. I highly doubt they can without raising rates too high for much of the current fan base.

“Not up to par”

Having stayed here before, we were quite shocked to find weeds growing all around the entrance to the Carriage House aka the pet building to the left of the main Inn. We stayed in the same building last year and the entrance was actually charming and well maintained. Upon entering the building there was a strong pet odor and the carpet in the 1st floor hallway was noticeably stained and in need of replacement. There was a fan or air purifier in the hallway, but it was not helping. There are windows all along the hallway which if opened just an inch or so would most likely help with the pet smell. Our room smelled like pet urine badly as well. Fortunately, we were able to open 3 windows to get some fresh air into the room. The studio itself was fine, but the bathroom was outdated with an old jacuzzi tub/shower combo and the toilet could be upgraded to a new higher one. Last year a buffet breakfast was included, but now a continental breakfast is being offered in the bar area of the Broad Arrow Tavern. My husband who is not a fussy person, suggested for our next visit to Freeport we stay at another property and unfortunately I think I agree. Our Studio King was one of the more expensive rooms. The Inn itself has a lot of charm and there is potential to bring it up to par. As with everything else these days, it appears the Inn is offering less and charging more.

“Perfect location in need of renovations”

The location was excellent, a very short walk to the LL Bean complex, the main shopping district, and close to the highway. The hotel has a nice included breakfast buffet.

The location was excellent, a very short walk to the LL Bean complex, the main shopping district, and close to the highway. The hotel has a nice included breakfast buffet. The main hotel has cozy sitting areas and fire pits. There also is a nice set of outdoor games in the back. We stayed in the townhomes. The townhomes are freestanding behind the hotel. The sloped walkways are cracked, uneven, poorly lit and overgrown with foliage. During a rain storm, large puddles gathered outside our entry door and a river ran down the already treacherous walkway. The unit had a nicely equipped kitchen, but well worn microwave and dishwasher. The counter tops were chipped and a refrigerator had a faint smell. The sitting room and bedroom decor was from the 1970’s with faded tables, scuffs on the walls and threadbare furniture. The washer & dryer had detergent for one load. The second floor had 2 bedrooms. The beds were fine, but had scratchy sheets. The bathroom is very small, but well stocked with towels, soap, shampoo and toilet paper. There was no hair dryer. There was very little space on the vanity for any additional personal items. The tub creaked when standing in the shower. The tiny bathroom is fine for a family with small kids, but very tight for 4 adults. The bones of this place are good, but it really needs an update.
