Christmas in Maine did not disappoint!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We had a great time at Inn by the Sea for Chirstmas! We took our two dogs and it was fabulous. The suite was so big and beautiful. Room service was fast and the food was good. High recommend!

Lovely hotel with the best staff!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We were fortunate to spend some time at Inn By The Sea during the holiday season. This is my preferred accommodation when we visit relatives in Maine. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful. I want to express my gratitude to Alex, Sam, Shane, and the entire team for making our visits truly special.

A wonderful oceanfront resort for Christmas

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

My wife and I stayed for several days at the end by the sea over Christmas as an opportunity to visit with family living in Portland. The resort was wonderful, staff, responsive, and the accommodation is beautiful. We enjoyed several great meals at the hotel restaurant. As we were traveling with our young dog, we especially enjoyed how incredibly dark, friendly staff and guests were. No All night it made for a wonderful experience…

Understated Elegance outside of Portland, ME

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Another fabulous trip to Inn By the Sea. This is one of our favorite places to stay in the Portland area. A huge draw for us is that it is dog friendly. Our dog Abby loves visiting here. Garden suites on the first floor allow easy access to a patio and the grounds outside. The inn is beautiful and gracious while being understated and elegant. It is just so comfortable. The location cannot be beat with gorgeous views of the ocean and direct access to Crescent Beach. The spa is small but nice. In the past, I have had a massage there and it was excellent. The restaurant, Sea Glass is small with beautiful views and fresh, local ingredients. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast there. The bar area, across from the restaurant is dog-friendly. The inn is a quick drive to Portland, really the best of both worlds. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable with high quality amenities. Everything is clean and the staff is very friendly. Call out to Alex and Katherine at the front desk as well as Holly at the restaurant and Rosa who was leading an ornament decorating activity. Thank you! We will be back.

Magical Family Eventually

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

This is our family’s 7th holiday party at Inn by the Sea. From check in with Katherine to everyone in the dining room, our time was magical. Danni and Adam had our tables all set when we arrived for breakfast and Holly, Ella and Parker did an outstanding job serving us a delicious breakfast. Thank you Inn by the Sea for another wonderful family event.
