In fact, there was no dust on any horizontal surface! The pool, hot tub, the hallways, the front desk, the bed, the couch, everything looked well kept and almost new.

I was planning a trip with a friend for my birthday in January, and then I decided why not just…read moretake advantage of our own gorgeous winter beachscapes right here in Maine? I'd been to the Inn before for happy hour and brunch so I was familiar with the main building and the fabulous view--so for this weekend I booked a Coveside Suite, which is a *huge* 2-bedroom setup with a living room and kitchen, balcony overlooking the snowy lawn and oceanfront, and a gigantic bathroom with both a shower and soaking tub. One bedroom has a king bed and the other two queens, which is perfect for a group of friends (it's not easy to find an arrangement like this). It's all very nicely designed (upscale beachy without being pretentious), and with freezing temperatures and a snowstorm on the way, the fireplace in the living room was the best. Pure hygge! I also recommend taking advantage of the spa, which we did on Saturday, both enjoying wonderful massages (hot rocks nearly had me drooling I was so relaxed). And even if it's cold, you can still tromp around the snow-covered lawn and down to the beach, or bundle up and have a cocktail outside on the deck by a fire pit, which a friend and I braved for awhile because we're weirdos. Large resorts like this can sometimes have food that feels institutional, but that's not the case here at the Sea Glass restaurant, which reliably turns out a nice range of tasty dishes inspired by Maine seafood and produce. I appreciate that there's some overlap between the breakfast/brunch and all-day menus; you can reserve in the restaurant (as we did for Saturday night), eat at the bar (it was hopping on Friday evening, since it's also a destination for locals), or order room service (bless the staff who came out in the cold for us for breakfast!). Everything I had was delicious, with the highlights being a roasted sunchoke appetizer and a hangar steak special with melty Parmesan fries. And I so appreciate the staff, all of whom were friendly and helpful! Service and communication were really top-notch overall, while also being super low-key and relaxed--you never feel the effort behind everything they do to keep things running seamlessly, which is clearly a lot, and that's an art. Pro tip: take advantage of winter rates (and there's an extra little discount for Maine residents, which is nice). Oh, and bring your pooch! The Inn is dog-friendly and there were many happy pups in their winter gear frolicking in the snow. While this was certainly a splurge for me it was one well worth it, and as a local, I'll definitely be back to do so again.

I inquired to both host my wedding and a room block (separate inquiries, I never heard back on the…read moreevent side) at Inn by the Sea, a hotel I have attended many events at in the past and a place I grew up admiring. While I understand booking dates and availability, Laurie in the sales office was dismissive and unhelpful. As a catering sales manager in luxury hotels myself, I would never speak to a client in this manner bluntly saying "we are not booking in 2027" after I requested clarification "Thank you for your email. Do (yes, spelled incorrectly) to the size of our property we do not offer courtesy room blocks for events not at the Inn." "If we were to host an event such as a rehearsal dinner or welcome party, what would be the minimum required to host a courtesy block of that size?" "You could potentially book a rehearsal dinner or welcome party if the wedding for that weekend is not having a Friday event and does not have a block of rooms. Currently we are not booking into 2027 so I would not know if that would be available until closer to the date. Rooms are contracted, not courtesy blocks; therefore, there would be a 2-night minimum and a 90% attrition for unused rooms." "I'm a catering sales manager myself in hotels and not understanding what you're saying here. Can you please clarify what you mean by that first paragraph? I understand on the rooms side but if this date is too far out, I'm happy to go elsewhere as other hotels are booking these dates." "We are not booking into 2027 yet." That is the entire conversation. Very disappointing service for a place that wouldn't even offer the opportunity to book with when other similar hotels in the area have opened their books.

The hotel sits near US 1 and I-95 so conveniently located to nearby highways. We're glad to have stayed here because the staff member (Nick) helpfulness, hotel was clean and our room was very nice. Plenty of parking spaces even with an attached trailer. Room smelled fresh and clean, bed/pillows were super comfy and bathroom was in excellent shape.

They have a small gym and pool conveniently located on the first floor. We definitely recommend and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

I don't usually write reviews but I'm so aggrieved about my experience at the Comfort Inn in…read moreScarborough that I've taken the time to write and post this. I'd recommend NOT staying at the Scarborough, Maine Comfort Inn. I started using the Scarborough, ME Comfort Inn for myself and family members since July 2025 instead of another Portland area chain hotel that cost more; since then myself and family members have probably stayed at the Scarborough Comfort Inn 8 or 9 total nights. Following my last 2 night stay and my experiences with their inhospitable front desk staff, lazy housekeeping staff, and unprofessional general manager, that likely will be my last stay at this hotel. We stayed at the Scarborough Comfort Inn arriving Friday, Dec. 12, 2025 and departing Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025. When we checked into our room (#213) around 3:00pm'ish the hallway REEKED of marijuana smoke. I realize pot smoking is legal in Maine but it was my understanding that this is a non-smoking property. Although the GM claims that they don't allow tobacco or marijuana smoking in the premises (outdoors is OK) when we checked into our rooms on the 2nd floor on August 25, 2025 (a previous stay) the hallway had a strong smell of pot smoke. If you read other reviews on this and other sites you'll see it's a common complaint. We left to pick people up at the airport and returned to the hotel later that night, around perhaps 8:00pm'ish. When we arrived the front desk reception area smelled strongly of marijuana smoke. It appears that smoking pot in public areas in this hotel is a common practice that management does not police, even in the lobby. We made sure we spoke loud enough that the front desk person heard our comments about the pot smell, and an hour or so later when I went back down to the lobby to buy a bottle of water the air had been sprayed so that the smell was gone, yet the GM claims that never happened and they "have no record" of it happening. PRO TIP: Don't record it and there won't be any record of it! Kudos to the GM for that savvy move! We departed Sunday morning 12/14/2025 and when I arrived home I discovered that I had left a triangle shaped "knee pillow" under the covers in the bed. I called the hotel on Monday morning 12/15/2025 and was told the front desk person would check with housekeeping and get back to me. Having not received the promised phone call I AGAIN called the hotel at 5:36pm on Tuesday 12/16/2025. The front desk people on all stays have been less than warm and friendly; being that they're in the hospitality industry you would think they would train their front desk people to be hospitable. The front desk person on 12/16/2025 at 5:36pm informed me that the housekeeping people did not see / find my pillow. SERIOUSLY? When room service stripped the bed they did not see a TRIANGULAR SHAPED pillow that obviously was NOT the hotel's pillow under the covers of the bed? That seems highly doubtful; one can only guess that housekeeping threw it away because they were too lazy to turn it in and don't respect guests' personal property. I asked to speak to the hotel's owner or GM and I was put on hold for 1 hour and 1 minute and was then hung up on (see photo). I called back and was told the GM would be in after noon the next day and to call back the next day. Upon calling back I was told that the GM was not in and he would call me back. That never happened. I then emailed the hotel's GM. I received an email in response that acknowledged the issues I brought up, apologized for everything, but offered to do nothing to address the issues raised. The topping on the cake is that the email from the GM came from a "no reply" email address so that I could not respond back (see photo). Who responds to a customer complaint via email using a "no reply" email address (see photo)? Obviously, management at this hotel has no clue on how to run a hospitality business, or how to do business at all. I contacted Choice Hotel customer service on their 800 number and in investigating the matter the general manager of the Scarborough Comfort Inn appeared to have no problem outright lying to them about numerous aspects of our stay, contradicting what he wrote in his email to me. He claimed that there was "no record" of the marijuana issue in the lobby and that it never happened. PRO TIP: If you don't record customer complaints and issues there won't be any record of it. Well played, Comfort Inn of Scarborough GM Ranjit Singh! Apparently being a repeat customer of the Scarborough Comfort Inn means nothing to its management, and being a Gold Member of the Choice Hotels Rewards Program means nothing to Choice Hotels customer service department. There's a reason why the Scarborough Comfort Inn is ranked 13th out of 13 hotels in Scarborough on Travel Advisor. My personal experiences confirm the hotel's horrendous reviews. I'd recommend you find someplace else -- any place to go -- than this hotel.

I made sure that she received a generous gratuity, as I can't imagine working at this location. The mix of people in the restaurant was interesting.

He said most places closed by 9pm but he offered us some fresh fruit or cereal that was available for the continental breakfast. I thought that was very nice of him to do so. The rooms are outdated but seemed clean enough and roomy. The hotel was very quiet at night and the bed was very comfortable. I had a great two nights sleep.

We were literally on the beach. The house was built in the 1890s and it is beautiful! It does have updates to it since then but you don't lose a bit of the charm. We stayed in the old inn keepers room on the main floor, and it had its own bathroom. Our room had a window AC unit and it's own mini fridge as well as a ceiling fan. I do think it needs more outlets but we just used one in the bathroom. They provide you with bath towels, fresh beach towels everyday, washcloths, face towels and bath mats. Resa is the manager their and was absolutely wonderful. She cooked delicious breakfasts and is available if you need anything. One day we had avocado toast, scrambled eggs, fresh baked blueberry buckle, blueberry corn muffins, and chocolate oatmeal protein cookies. Various breads, bagels, and English muffins are available as well as butter, peanut butter, and jelly. There is always coffee, tea, and water and ice on hand. In addition to breakfast the house has a whole closet FULL of board games and activities to play if you find yourself inside for an afternoon storm. There is plenty of common areas to hang out and do a puzzle or play a game. The house also has plenty of beach items for you to use including beach chairs, umbrellas, footballs, volleyballs, sand toys, bikes, helmets, and various other things. You do need to park on the street, but there was ample parking and you don't really have to move your car that often because there is so much within walking distance. Overall I couldn't speak highly enough about our stay. Consider us new regulars.

So glad we did! We stayed in room #12 with a king size bed with plenty of cozy layers to keep us warm during the chilly early September nights. The whole house was beautifully clean, warm and welcoming. It's literally a stones throw from the beach and where we all sit once we are there, so we got out of walking the mile back to the other house our friends rent. Also, the breakfast served in the morning was delicious! Homemade bread, mini egg and ham burritos and plenty of coffee, tea and OJ. I was in heaven! Not to mention, the sub shop is across the street, so anything you need is within arms reach. We will most definitely be back again next year! Even though our room had a great view of the beach, we might try for a different room just to see what they're all like. Very happy with our stay!

When I commented that it didn't say 21+ anywheres and this was a hotel lobby / lounge they repeated that it's a rule that kids are not allowed even if they aren't sitting in the bar. It was also Mother's Day and as a single mom I had been looking forward to a nice afternoon here with my son. My son felt horrible as he had known I really wanted to go there and even said "I can wait in the car while you spend time in there so I don't ruin Mother's Day." We immediately left as he didn't ruin the day but the Lincoln hotel did. I highly recommend anyone with kids stay away as clearly I thought this was a family friendly place and it's not.

Due to the lateness of my making a reservation and the holiday weekend, my usual spot to overnight was not available so I booked a room here at an exorbitant rate, but had few choices. Booking the room online, I asked for a wheelchair accessible room. While booking, it does not tell you the room is not available or if it did, it was not clearly evident. So we arrived relatively early in the afternoon. I said hello and indicated I was checking in and that I had a reservation. Jerome was at the desk. No "hello", no "welcome" just "can I see your ID." When I said I requested a h/c room near the front door I was told that a h/c room was not available. That was disappointing but we usually make do when that happens. He perfunctorily pointed out the location of the coffee and gave me my keys. Well I got the room next to the FURTHEST room from the lobby. The room here was small but still navigable until the bathroom. Unlike most hotels the bathroom doorway was 24" or less wide as a 24" wide wheelchair could not fit through the door. In addition, the door was on a corner making the bathroom minuscule. This place caters to bus tours so the place seems like it would pretty much full most days. Too small restrooms and reservations for the type of room not guaranteed. Not returning.
