Had a balcony and was sitting on, the people above us dumped his cooler on his balcony and I was soaked.
Then we got back to the room around 11:00 pm and the kids were running a marathon.
It started again this morning around 7:00 am. The marathon never stopped till we left.
The view was great.

I enjoyed my stay here very much, which was conveniently located near the windjammer docks which was the main reason that brought me here… staff is very courteous attentive to detail, and there is one hell of a great steamed muscle restaurant called Park Street Grille which I had to go to three times! During the time I was initially there, the main parking lot was being resurfaced, but as I didn’t need a car didn’t immediately affect me…

Everything was very nice. Everyone was very pleasant. The only thing I will say unfortunately the screen on our sliding door blew off during the windstorm we were there the weekend. It was very foggy about a week ago, and when you walked in to the building the hallway kind of reminded me of a con bless in Home smell in our room was a very musty smell, but otherwise the day was fine. The coffee was amazing and the people were amazing what I stay there again possibly

The room was clean and comfortable. However the aircon was too loud and l left it off mostly for that reason. I was unable to adjust the speed. Also, although new, the noise of the room refrigerator was noticeable. It ran for 8 mins every 25 mins and was somewhat disturbing throughout the night.
The other amenities were great, ie the cafe, fitness area and pool/ sauna..

Stayed here 1 night while driving Boston to Acadia. This place was old and tired. Stains from leaks on ceiling, cheap peeling flooring, bedroom window nailed shut and mismatched bathroom vanity lights. Surface level clean but could tell it hasn't been cleaned thoroughly in a long time. Dust and dirt on all lamps/light fixtures, finger holds of kitchen chairs, in the window AC unit and on baseboards. It wasn't too expensive based on Maine rates in general but I wouldn't stay there again.

I paid just over $100 for a room that said it didn't have a window, which was fine for one night. When I arrived I had a room with a balcony overlooking Rockland harbor. The best part for me is that you can walk to the center of town in 2 minutes. It's a great low-cost option in a great little town on the Maine coast.

This is short walking distance (across the street or a few blocks away) from restaurants and coffee shops. Our room was large (two queens and a sleeper sofa in a separate sitting area) and was clearly recently upgraded. We enjoyed the small indoor salt water pool, hot tub, and sauna. The property was clean and our room overlooked the harbor. We will definitely stay again. The cafe was closed for a week so we could not try out the coffee bar but one block away is a great combo coffee shop and bookstore.

The ocean was visible in the far distance looking over the parking lot, police station, and other buildings. This is a nice old building in need of updating all around. The heat was impossible to regulate, so we froze the first few hours and then it was too hot the rest of the time.
Staff was super friendly and helpful but they quit at 7. Also, the only ice machine in the entire building is located in their little store, so if you don’t get there before 7pm, you are out of luck. The pool area is old but it was decent. The workout area spills out from the workout room into the hall outside of the pool which was odd.
We had a good time but not sure this place is worth the money.

Pros: Clean, spacious.

Also, the TV in the Living Room did not work. This was a major inconvenience.

Chris at the front desk was friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room we had was a good size. I didn't realize a one bedroom wouldn't have a bedroom with a door though. Unfortunately the mattress on the pull out couch was stained heavily and there was no replacement available. The pool was very dirty. Lots of clumps of floating grime, hair and a baby wipe. The floor in the bathroom is peeling back and it was mucky underneath.

The ocean and vintage vibe is cute, but definitely room for improvement with cleanliness.

There was a big winter snow storm, i was staying at Tradewinds to be close to work.
Staff was very accomodating, i was allowed to check in early - which was very important since i would be getting out of work after 10pm.

This may happen again if this winter keeps being so snowy! I am curious if there is some sort of \"frequent visitor\" status or program for discounts?
I am quite sure i will be back, and i recommend this hotel to family and friends. Hopefully next time i can actually spend time off from work in the pool!
