Harpswell Center Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Harpswell Center, Harpswell

"Well, it was definitely an over priced hotel stay. The bathrooms in the rooms could definitely use some updates. The ceiling is very low in the bathrooms and had many peoples hairs stuck to the ceiling which was nasty. How the cleaners do not notice is disgraceful. The ceiling could be easily reached to clean it. The bottom of the tub was crumbling. No bags were in my trash cans when I arrived. I had to go ask for some. No apologies either. Also, you would think with all the $ paid to stay there that it would include guest parking but nope, they charge you $20 a day to park at the hotel. It is ridiculous. If they have to valet park your car they keep your key and give you a hard time if you ask where your vehicle is. I needed my coat out of my car and it was an act of congress to use my own key or be told where my own car is. The location is sketchy. It is a good size city not at all like you imagine being near the ocean, all you smell is car exhaust. I checked out the day before I was due to check out (4pm) but was told they would not really check me out until the following day (just so they could charge me more $). I asked for a receipt and was told they would easily email me one after they charge my card the next day, well I have called twice and still no receipt. Proper Hospitality is definitely lacking here at the Holiday Inn in Portland ME. I suggest looking elsewhere"

"Currently they’re going through renovations and they still had a great breakfast selection, clean rooms, and the nicest most friendly staff around. Bar was open and looked inviting. The location is also PERFECTION "

"Great location"

"Very nice stay."

"Room smelled. Not sure how to even describe the smell. Looked like someone had used the toilet before we got there. Floors throughout the building are uneven. Doesn't serve breakfast. There is a restaurant attached. Pets cost extra."

"Highly recommend this hotel. Clean, modern and well maintained. Room is large, bed is comfortable and nice crisp linens. Staff were very friendly during check in and check out. Valet was convenient and the hotel is a perfect location for walking to restaurants, shops and breweries."
