The staff and owner try very hard to make your stay worthwhile. They do have amenities for extended stay guests. Great location if you work in bath, boothbay and/or looking to be near the water and pay a decent rate per night. However, if you have At&t, t-mobile or sprint you will not have good reception. Also, their wifi is a bit weak and they don't have landline service if you really need to make an urgent call to family or employers.

Great place to stay. Cozy rooms, and very affordable. Management was great, even after I broke the key off in the door. Lol
