this property was everything that I hoped it would be. I was looking for a quiet and relaxing place to spend the night before flying home after attending a conference. I stayed in a standard room in the main part of the hotel with a room overlooking the the beach and the water. This is my first time to Maine, and everything has been absolutely wonderful, especially the way the rocks and the water and the beach and the trees glisten in the snow. i’m already planning my trip back to The Inn by the Sea…
