Chebeague Island Inn

Hospitality was fabulous-especially Alex!

There really isn't much to do on the island but swim. We were told there would be bikes to ride around the 5 mile island, but the bikes were completely rusted and unusable. There were no other rentals such as kayaks. So it basically is a one night stay kind of Place unless you are much less active than my husband and I are. There were golf carts at a local place within walking distance, but they were not available when we were there.

Property advertised bikes to ride around and golf carts to rent, but when we arrived we were told the bikes are not in good condition to bike and the golf carts are through a third party rental that is hard to get ahold of. We were really looking forward to biking around the island as a means of exploring l and were quite let down when there no bikes to ride.

The property was historic- Alex was super helpful and kind. She went out of her way to make my stay as best as it could have been. There was no clear front door and it was confusing to enter. The worst part of the trip was the condescension and rudeness felt from the male front desk worker- clearly not trained nor destined to be a people person.

The best parts about the stay was the beautiful view and the comfortable beds and pillows and a clean room that smelled wonderful. The bathrooms are shared with your floor, but they seem to be kept clean which is awesome so we didn’t mind at all. Unfortunately, service is cold and left much to be desired. We felt like a nuisance ordering cocktails and food at the bar and restaurant and had to find someone to take our order every time. Our room was not ready at 3pm check-in time. There was nobody at reception during check-out time. Service was slow, inattentive, and unfriendly. The hotel doesn’t compensate for parking on Route 1 or the CTC ferry ride to the hotel which I think would be a nice touch given the amount it costs to book a room with the Inn. The continental breakfast options were limited mainly to cold and old croissants and untoasted bagels (however it was free!). The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are pretty, and the building historic so maybe they don’t feel the need to up their hospitality game. But with some serious tweaks this place could be 5 star material.

Location and decoration is amazing. Staff -other than waiters - were college kids who did not appear to have an adult managing them. Things were not cleaned up in a timely manner and the free bikes were all broken.

This The stay never happened as there launch was broken and they couldn't get us off our boat to get to the island.

Amazing staff

Cons: cocktail sauce ewww, bikes… a total joke and dangerous, the cheesecake not good, the fact that a pack of men partied all night and we got 0 sleep on a random Thursday night?! The biggest con was when we answered staff when they asked they didn’t really care, definitely felt like a number

It’s a great stay for the location of the island. It has an old cozy feel. The room was adorable and cozy. We had a water view. There are areas that need worked on and it could be amazing. They need some new bikes for sure.

It was delicious. Good positions, well prepared, and courteously served. The owners need to update all porch furniture. Put shade curtains on the patio and in the breakfast area. The sun was hot and blinding and we had to move inside for comfort. There needs to be lawn seating with umbrellas so people can enjoy a beverage or conversation outside. Instead of shabby chic, the patio looks poor. There was a noticeable lack of a manager on duty in the morning. All questions were deflected by on duty staff with the promise of getting back to us. The bicycles are old and in disrepair. We tried to ride them and gave up. They all need to be replaced. We tried to go to the beach with the shuttle and were told there was no one to take us. Need more shuttle drivers. All rooms need a split air conditioner/heater…or at least a fan in the room

Exceptional

We had a late arrival and the two young gentlemen were waiting at the dock and they helped my sister and I with all our bags. The entire property was very clean and there were incredible views of the water and golf course. Looking forward to returning!

Superb

The food the chefs everyone was extremely helpful answering questions and being of service to us. You could see that they were just open a week and still trying to understand what it changed on the island for services. Website was not as informational as others what

It’s a great place to get away from it all and enjoy beautiful views on the wrap around porch. The food is delicious. The place is laid back and quite lovely. I will be going back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here…. One of the Highlights of our Trip! The Serene setting & Island TYME vibe … Made the perfect Setting for an Epic Adventure!
