Cannot say enough great things about hotel and area! First let's start off with check in. We…read morearrived early and thought we would at least try and check-in, if our room was ready? Well, upon meeting Michelle at the counter, found out our room was not only ready but Raheal had set us up with the best room in the hotel, corner room on top floor, with view of Main st and ocean. Great, everything is perfect except, I messed up something that was needed at check in and I live 2 hours away! Totally my fault but was heartbroken with wife in car! Michelle went above and beyond and fixed the problem and the weekend was saved! Cannot thank her enough! We got checked in and she continued to answer my questions on places to go and give us all the local info! Went up to room and view was incredible, note to self, next time take pictures! Room was stacked with everything we needed! Stay was great and having always staying in Camden when we visit this area, I would definitely recommend looking at Rockland for a fraction of the price and definitely stay here! The breakfast in the morning was very sufficient and the local coffee that was served was amazing! Ended up buying a couple pounds to bring home! Stay here and you can't go wrong and if Michelle checks you in, ask for any suggestions and you will be steered in the right direction! We are all ready planning our next trip back! Trip

I wouldn't stay here again even if you paid me! Aside from the younger girl working the night…read moreshift, the staff was incredibly rude and seemed to have little to no customer service skills. When I first arrived, my room smelled terrible, like rotting food. I went to the front desk to let them know, and the woman there couldn't have seemed less concerned. I was moved to another room, but it smelled just as bad. I tried to deal with it, but eventually had to ask to be switched again. The third room didn't have the same odor, but instead smelled like it had been doused in cheap air freshener to cover something up. Not exactly a great start. At that point I considered finding another hotel, but it was late and the room itself at least appeared clean. Unfortunately, the noise situation was just as bad. If you plan on sleeping past 6 am, don't count on it. Unless you're on the top floor, you can hear every footstep from the room above you. The floors seem to have virtually no soundproofing, and I heard the guests above me constantly throughout my stay. The location is great, I'll give it that. But honestly, that's the only positive thing I can say about this place. The customer service is awful, the staff is rude, the rooms smell bad, and the lack of soundproofing makes it nearly impossible to relax. Save yourself the headache and stay anywhere else.

This is no four star hotel but it is a nice place to stay. We had two different rooms. Our first…read moreroom was an efficiency type of suite on the back of the building. It was one room with two sections, the sleeping area and the seating area. It was nice and comfortable, unfortunately the balcony was on the roof of part of the lower hotel and it shared space with a lot of noisy air conditioning units. The bathroom while large was also very tight. Our second room was on the third floor on the front of the building. The room was a lot smaller but we had a great recessed balcony that had partial water views. The bathroom was minuscule with no place to put you toiletries. The staff was schizophrenic. Some were clueless and some were extremely helpful. The place could use a good freshening-up. The location is great and despite the second room overlooking US1 the noise was not a problem. In fact the traffic and people watching were great.

This year we spent a total of 5 nights there and immediately noticed a change in staff at check-in and subsequently with the staff servicing rooms. Nothing seemed quite as good or as efficient as in the past, but not bad either. The negatives include a large spider web on our private deck that had obviously been there for quite some time given its size. The breakfast offerings were very similar to those in the past except MIA were the make your own waffles. In our room we noted the sink had a crack in it, the baseboard was rusted and there was a chip in the petite walk-in shower. Last, but perhaps not least was the cheap, one ply toilet paper.

Don't stay here if you want a clean room without bugs. I booked this hotel for 3 nights. Driving…read morein, it looked charming, but then we got to our room. SPIDERS. That was the first thing we saw walking in. I would have run back to the car, but it was pouring rain. The room was filthy. We had just finished a 5-hour drive, and with the storm, we didn't see any other option but to stay the night. I didn't sleep; I was freaking out, basically in tears. I'm terrified of spiders. My husband managed to fall asleep, and he got a few bug bites to show for it. In the morning, we turned in the key and told the employee about our problem. They were very nice. When we inquired about a refund, they said we would have to go through Booking.com for our money back. We thanked them and headed to another hotel. Booking says they are disputing our refund, and they couldn't come to an agreement with them. I wasn't on vacation; I was attending a doctor's appointment, and I tried to make it more enjoyable for my child by turning it into a weekend trip. Yes, they make you sign a waiver that says no refunds, period, but I was expecting them to at least have to provide a habitable room. Over $400 for a room that no one should be expected to stay in. I've had dirty hotel rooms before, but the bugs that were biting are inexcusable. Their refusal to give me my money back and not answering my email just adds insult to injury. I didn't realize that when I booked a room here, I was paying for stress and spider bites.

He gave us a quick tour of the inn and showed us where our room would be, and shared a multi page document with information about the area and recommendations. The entire place was warm and inviting and I was glad I made the choice to reserve the last available room here for our stay. We stayed in the Victorian which was a quaint room with a fireplace. The bed was comfy and the room was clean - what else do you need? In the morning we were served a two course own by the other owner, Cat, Bob's wife. Course 1 was grilled pineapple topped with toasted coconut and maple drizzle, yum! Course 2 included homemade blueberry waffles and sausage. They waffles were topped with a dusting of powdered sugar and were the perfect way to start my day. We had a nice stay and would certainly recommend visiting Bob and Cat's place again.

We ended up spending a week with the Ledges are our base - it's ideally located between the towns of Rockport and Rockland with easy access in either direction. We were in a room with a kingsized bed with a balcony - the coastal view from the balcony is wonderful and the air very fresh and clean. The room was immaculate and included an empty dorm-sized refrigerator and large TV. The layout was interesting with an extra sink in the larger room outside of the bath which we found very convenient. It had all the usual bits - I believe this was an older, classic motel that has been upgraded, but it's retained the original neon (No) Vacancy sign - we would use it to figure out how close were were to the entrance (there's three (No) Vacancy signs traveling north from Claws so by counting them it made it easier to look for the entry, the roads are very dark and often foggy. Breakfast is in a room behind the service desk and included most of the regular suspects. Most of the proteins were vegetarian except for hardboiled eggs. You have the ubiquitous waffle-maker and a coffee machine that makes coffee to order - I found it pretty weak but in general most of the coffee I've tried in Maine has been watery. The owners also offer vegetarian Indian food on the weekends - you order through a website and walk over to pick them up - unfortunately we got too busy to try them out but plan to the next time - heard many good comments about the food and it smelled divine. The staff at the Ledges were super nice and very accommodating. We tried to keep the room very clean (we tend to be super clean anyway) and used the towels sparingly - hopefully they didn't mind forgoing the daily cleaning. This is a solid 4.2/5 stars.

There are a few things that were of note, the railing on the balcony is totally unsafe and not up to code! The beds were so uncomfortable and are literally Glorified cot. The outside of the building is dingy and mildew growing. There was a musty smell in the room and common areas. While the back yard space is huge there's no draw. There is a hugely missed opportunity there. Add a firepit ,corn hole, picnic tables that are not rotten! The "stairs" to the water are COMPLETELY unsafe!! And a lawsuit waiting to happen! The pool area has broken loungers, no umbrellas or tables. The rug area has mold. Overall I would say that our experience was mediocre.

The suite was spacious, extremely clean, and featured an amazing shower and an incredibly comfortable bed. We also happened to be visiting during an unusual heat wave, and the air conditioning did an impressive job--which was no small feat given the suite's two-story layout and high ceilings. Coming back to a cool, comfortable room each afternoon and evening was something we appreciated even more than we expected. The breakfasts each morning tasted every bit as good as they looked and kept us full until dinnertime! My husband was running late our first morning (we struggled to adjust from West Coast time), and Matt and Jessica kindly prepared an off-menu breakfast sandwich for him to enjoy later (which was fantastic, by the way). Admittedly, we weren't the most punctual breakfast guests during our stay, yet they couldn't have been more gracious about it. That level of flexibility and kindness certainly did not go unnoticed. Speaking of the innkeepers, I was impressed by how they managed to strike the perfect balance of being warm and welcoming without ever being over the top. They seemed to take their cue from each guest, happily engaging in conversation when invited while also giving everyone plenty of space to enjoy their stay. In my opinion, that can be one of the trickiest parts of staying at a bed-and-breakfast, but Matt and Jessica absolutely nailed it. The inn itself is beautifully maintained, with thoughtful details throughout that make it feel welcoming and special without being stuffy or pretentious. I kept thinking of it as "understated pampering". The location is also ideal--an easy walk to Camden Harbor, shops, and restaurants, while serving as a perfect home base for exploring the many beautiful destinations within an hour's drive. It's clear that Matt and Jessica genuinely care about creating an exceptional experience for their guests. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and hoping we might find a reason to return in the future. We highly recommend the Captain Swift Inn!
