  Very Disappointing.

  I really wanted to love this hotel, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. We were assigned the second-to-last room on the lowest floor of the building farthest from the main hotel. When we arrived, the room had an unpleasant odor and a large wet spot on the carpet. I had booked through a Virtuoso travel advisor back in March, hoping that would at least ensure we received a decent room. Instead, it felt as though we had been given one of the least desirable rooms on the property. The front desk told us there were no other rooms available but promised to place an odor-removal machine in our room. That never happened. More disappointing was the attitude of the staff—I often felt as though I was inconveniencing them whenever I asked for anything beyond the bare minimum. In my opinion, this is not a true luxury hotel. The overall experience felt only slightly above that of a standard Marriott, but with a significantly higher price tag. That said, the view is absolutely spectacular, and the lobby is a showstopper when you first walk in. Unfortunately, it felt as though the breathtaking setting was primarily what we were paying for. Tip: If you do book this hotel, I strongly recommend requesting a room outside the Ledges building—especially avoiding the bottom floor

  Disappointing

  Beautiful views but certainly not a luxury hotel. The room was nicely appointed. The pool and hot tub were filthy, and I was so surprised by this. Tiller restaurant was not awful but not great and overpriced. This place has potential with its stunning location and views but needs some improvement to consider itself a true luxury hotel.

  Another great trip to Maine

  We had a wonderful 3 night stay in an oceanfront room at the Cliff House. The hotel and grounds are lovely and the ocean front pool area is spectacular! It is very relaxing and is a great resort. We have stayed there many times as a couple and with our children and grandchildren as a group of 11. Every visit has been relaxing, restful, and lots of fun. It is truly a great vacation spot!

  Beautiful property lacking service and amenities

  This is a beautiful place. It’s a shame they are missing so many components of a luxury hotel, especially related to food and service. The hostess at breakfast one morning was telling everyone they should have had a reservation and making them wait over an hour; when we finally sat, the restaurant was over half empty for our entire meal! The food was also overpriced and mediocre. They should assume that guests of the hotel want breakfast and should consider a nice buffet style breakfast. Room service doesn’t open till 7am. Since this place is about 10 minutes from other stores, they should really have a small store with snacks and necessities. The food at the pool was not good and the family pool lacked enough umbrellas. Some of the staff was kind, but others were rude and seemed annoyed about every question.
