They have valet or you park in the parking garage behind the hotel and pay $1 an hour. No Pool. Not sure if it has a gym. We didn't check. Big lobby seating area. Coffee and tea station available 24 hours. Big rooms with kitchenette. King bed.

We stayed for 2 nights & cooked dinner to save on money vs going out. It is true it's located about 8 to 10 minutes (walking) to downtown. Lots to do surrounding the area. We were able to use Lyft if we didn't feel like walking- lots or drivers available immediately! The staff is very accommodating & beyond friendly. Danny is a wonderful associate. They offer complimentary bottled water. Hot breakfast from 6am to 9am or 10am(?) with a waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, oatmeal, toast, bagels, etc. The bed is comfortable, more on the firm side. The pillows are a bit flat, unfortunately. There is more room for storage underneath the bed if needed. The TV is a nice size, mounted on the wall. The volume is very low, though. When you sign into your Netflix acct, it automatically signs you out when you leave the app. Cubbies & a closet are perfect to unpack & hang what you need to. The ironing board & iron are in the closet. There is a $45 charge for valet. We chose to park in the neighboring Parking Garage - for 2 days it wound up being about the same amount of money. They charged me mistakenly for valet but easily refunded me when I called. We will happily stay again & hopefully in the king SUITE!

If I could give ZERO stars I would! My family and I used to enjoy staying at the Bellevue by the…read moreSea as we have been coming to visit Wells ME for many years. The property is now under new management and we found our stay to be absolutely miserable. Upon check in, the room was extremely filthy with heavy dust and dirt in the bathroom and on the bed frames, sandy floors, feminine product wrappings and potato chips sprinkled on the floor. Also, can't forget to mention the chewed gum stuck to the side of the bed frame. WE WERE HORRIFIED! During our stay there was a brief heavy rainstorm that resulted in water pouring through the skylight. Our luggage was soaked. I went and reported the issue to the front desk. I was shocked and surprised when the front desk worker told me that "the board of directors does not allow them to take guest feedback". She became very defensive and confrontational when we asked if we could speak to the manager. The woman explained that she could not release the phone number for the manager and the name for the board of director due to "HIPPA"?? (Am I missing something, hippa is a healthcare law and does not apply to the hotel industry). We were concerned that the leaky skylight had not only ruined our trip but was about to do the same for the next guest. The front desk did say that there was another party checking in the day we were checking out of room #203 and there was rain in the forecast, YIKES! I have never written a bad review EVER and hate to do this but was encouraged to do so by the front desk worker. She said that there was nothing she could do and encouraged us to write out our complaints to get the attention of the board of directors. I surely hope they are able to read this review and make necessary change! Needless to say we we will never return and we will tell our family/friends to steer clear of the Bellevue by the Sea. There are tons of beautiful places in Wells, please do not waste your money!

We were in town for a wedding and needed a nice place to stay for a week…read more We stumbled upon the Carriage House, saw what they had to offer and decided to give it a try. The first thing we noticed was that it's in a great location. Post Road is pretty much the main drag in Wells, and this hotel is like, right in the middle of it. Quite a bit is within walking distance and what is not is only a short drive away. It also helps that it isn't far from the other hotels in the area (which was great for us because some of our party was in other places). The grounds have some regular hotel rooms and some cottages as well. The pictures are from Cottage number 9, which sleeps six people. It isn't a really big building, but the way it is designed, that really does not matter. The six of us had absolutely no problem staying out of each other's way. The screened porch and the large back yard helped that immensely, and if the weather co-operates, the porch is actually a great place to go and just hang out (which happened very, very often during our stay). Now... Bob and Sally... They were literally the first people we spoke to in the state of Maine, and they couldn't have been nicer or more co-operative with us. They even knew our names after just a few hours - there is something about that that's just really cool. When we had questions, they had answers, and they always had a smile on their face. I guess what I am saying here is - I'd stay here again.

By all signs they have a firm hold on the art and difficalities associated with this line of work. Our unexpected room, the "Honeymoon" suite, provided us with a slight chuckle given we are in our Thirty-First Honeymoon Season and still counting. The room open, airy, and comfort. Featuring with 5 large bay windows overlooking the main street and down toward Old Orchard Beach. Our 31st Honeymoon included a private bathroom, two upholstered chairs, an arm chair and a "fainting chaise" (my favorite), and an oak desk for my nerdy internet access. There are two guest houses, the Main Inn and Adjacent Cottage. Both quaint and appear built by craftsmen of the early 1900's. Beautiful oak floors and stairs with the most interesting mid-stair nook with oval stained glass. Outside: Away from the hustle and bustle of the Beach, but close enough to walk down to. On premise are groupings of Adirondack chairs, a shaded gazebo, a modern heated in-ground pool, and my favorite the wide wrap-around porch with french doors to the dining room. Make sure you pay a visit to their vintage hand-crafted duel rocking chair and center table; very relaxing. Breakfast: Served continental family style with a personal touch; such as, homemade baked goods, and stovetop specialties. On our first morning: Tea, delicious Coffee, muffins, fresh fruit salad, DIY toast, yogurt, and the most delicious scrambled egg platter with sausage and vegetables including sweet potato. "Chef" Nancy said she cooks gluten free for herself and is always willing to accommodate dietary needs. Our second morning, Stuffed French Toast topped with fresh fruit and a side of crispy bacon. Many thanks for a great get away!

The location is perfect, short walking distance to the main street and the beach, and Nancy was able to recommend local restaurants worth checking out. The rooms & bathrooms were tidy and well kept, and both pool and bath towels were provided for us during our stay! Finally, she prepared a DELICIOUS breakfast in the morning and even brought it out to us as we sat on the porch. Next time we're in Maine we're staying here again.

Also there is a very good bakery next door with great coffee! The motel is also dog friendly, offers on-site parking, and has clean, comfortable rooms. We appreciated the kitchenette area, which was convenient. Also includes a small fridge and freezer. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The biggest area for improvement is the WiFi. Unfortunately, it either didn't work or was extremely slow during our visit. This was a major inconvenience because cell service in the area is already spotty. Without reliable WiFi, it became difficult to research things to do, make plans, or even communicate with friends staying in another room. We couldn't call or text each other because neither the cell service nor the WiFi was dependable. Overall, Studio East Motel is a great value for the location and clean accommodations, but improving the WiFi would significantly enhance the experience. Please fix it!

Never sit in traffic waiting to pay for parking. No more waking up early to race down to the beach parking lot before it fills up and pay. Next time you're in Ogunquit, stop by Studio East for a visit. I'm looking forward to next years trip!
