Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
When we first walked in, it smelled like a nursing home. Mattress was horrible. Rolled into middle. Room was hot, ac was just intermittent. Our fault we didnt see small sign about dirty dishes. Cost us $25 for 2 dirty coffee cups left in sink. There was a small mud hole near stairs to our room. Overall, overpriced for what we got. Stayed in much better places in Maine.

Will definitely stay again!

My husband and I went for a quick overnight getaway, we immediately regretted only being there for a night. We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. So clean, kitchen has dishes and utensils already there and a dishwasher. The view when you step outside is gorgeous!! We will definitely be staying again and even said we want to do a week for vacation possibly next year and this is where we’ll stay! There’s restaurants galore and the famous Congdon’s Donuts & Scoop Deck right across the street and a grocery store around the corner and it’s a 5 minute drive to the beach. Picture is the view when you step out, I didn’t take any pics of the room, just video which I can’t do on here but TRUST me!

We were upgraded from a motel room to an efficiency unit. That was a nice surprise. The unit was clean but basic. No frillls. TheTV remote didn’t work but was fixed the next day. The Wi-Fi was very unreliable.

Beautiful view of the marshes and beach houses that sit Oceanside a mile away. I enjoyed a morning walk to the beach…Mile Road is just around the corner. My kids had a great time in the pool. While we were there we walked to Condons for donuts and the food trucks, and Mike’s for dinner. We stayed in the Queen suite which had a private bedroom, a Murphy bed in the living room for 2, and a pull out couch bed for 2. There was also a full size refrigerator and kitchenette. Perfect accommodations for sleeping and touch-and-go as we enjoyed the town of Wells. The only negatives: bring your own pool towels and a box fan. We bought a fan for the bedroom because the AC unit is in the living room. It keeps the place cool but if you want to close your bedroom door, you’ll want a fan. Overall, we had a good time; I’d stay at the Garrison again.
