Clean room and friendly staff. Right in between both beaches,so a good location! I only wished the wifi worked,but there were attraction brochures at the front desk. We would book this motel again if we go back.

Hotel is outdated, but was clean. Bring your own TP! Small outdoor pool on premise, great location! Easy to walk to two different beaches or the local shopping area and zoo. No ac but fortunately it was cool enough.
We stayed for three nights. There was a raisin on the floor the whole time we were there. T.V. was quite dusty, also. It is a no frills sort of place. The staff, however, was amazing, friendly, helpful, and understanding.
The location is convenient to the beaches and shops. The room was comfortable and the people were nice.

Convenient Location
The room was dated, but clean. The grounds and facilities were well maintained but in need or repair and updating. My sister joined me for the night and was charged an additional $40 to stay and park her car for 12 hours. This seemed somewhat ridiculous considering the amount I paid for the room. Staff was nice, pool was clean.
Check out 10 am. Staff was knocking at 9:30. Asked to leave vehicle until 12 to visit beach. Was told i must be off premises to accommodate early check ins.. there was not 1 car in lot. I could leave car if I paid extra. Lot next door was only 3$. I travel weekly. Lost potential customer for pettiness.
Very dated. No wifi in room. Renovations would make such a difference because the location is great. I paid too much for my stay but it was a place to sleep and that was it.
This was my husband first vacation. We loved that everything was a walk distant to the town and restaurant and other beaches. Extra clean, but everything was very old and olfaction. The window blind was hard to open and closed that at night we can't closed it and my husband was very outset and went to the old sofa to sleep because the light don't let him sleep. Everything in that room was like 50 year old. The carpet very old too and had stain on it, but they vacuum it every day. love the bathroom shower nice pressure and hot water. We love the pool my granddaughter have a nice time there. The kitchen item again very old place, fork, spoon mud old, old. But if you don't care about all that staff and you want to be closed to everything on town this is the place to go.

Nice location, close to the beaches and shops
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The parking was very good.
I go to York every summer and this was the first time I stayed here. The room was far more spacious than any other places. The location is super convenient to get to short or long sands. The pool was nice and well maintained. The staff was really friendly and handled check in and out very quickly. We will definitely be staying here in the future!
Location was great but the room was not prepared for check in. TV wasn't working and staff was not available to assist, refrigerator was available but not plugged in. Although it was cute and the location was good, those were key items for us.
Booked room with ac only to arrive and get a room with no ac. Very dated rooms and way too hot without actually. The least they could do is have fans for rooms without ac (to place in window.. not ceiling fans). Just overall not impressed at all. Would rather pay the same rate and stay further away from the beach in a nicer room
Was very nice hotel and staff real friendly and helpful
Liked that the hotel was so close to both short sands and long sands
Will stay there every time.e I go to York beach Maine

Very clean but badly in need of updates and paint
I was very dissappointed when we walked into the room. It was clean but needed updates badly. Everything was badly worn and it wad just not inviting. I expected better for the price that wad paid.

Great location, comfy bed, very dated. 2.5 star.
We stayed here over a holiday weekend. Saturday, Sunday night. The big plus is location. Before I go on, I'd rate it a great location to stay , no issues, great staff, just dated.
Nothing wrong per say , but if I was to compare this to a 5 star (out of 5) location, this one would be a 2.5.
5 Stars places go the extra mile, and will spend $$ to keep the place top notch. They will replace carpet, keep rooms updated, repaint rooms, and replace linen with new more often. Sometimes even when its not needed. 2.5 rated places are just chillin, and don't worry about all that spending, and stuff.
The rooms are decent. The bed was comfy, back didn't hurt which is rare for me. The bathroom was clean but no fans. The carpets where old but clean. The living rooms in some have futons for couch with that rug like material. They collect sand. They should splurge for some sheet covers. Tip : Bring a sheet cover if the sands is gonna bug you out. Bathroom door locks seem to have been disabled as to prevent possible repairs.
The pool has some cracks in the bottom that are sharp so watch out. I have no clue how they are keeping water in it? Looks like someone jumped in a cracked the floor up.
We had a great time. Would I stay here again? Yes, when booking late in peak season, as other places are like 3X the price.
