Nice staff. Beautiful, charming property, clean, cute, but dated. Old wood floors so hallways, as well as rooms above were loud. Our tv didn't work & our son's room smelled of septic. When using the handrail on the stairs my Mom got a huge splinter in her thumb from the old, wood railing. We had to stop to buy tweezers to remove it. Should have been less in price per room.

Staff was wonderful. Room was clean, right space, nice indoor pool. We stayed in the month of April but would love to return during the warm weather. I recommend this place.

Stayed for the Christmas Prelude and while a bit away from town (1.5 miles) the staff was awesome, our room was clean and comfortable and we had our own private deck. Would definitely stay again! 🎄

Like: Nice comfortable pillow. Dislike: 1. Extremely cold room. Why? Violations..room doors to outside are not aligned with frame resulting in sight line to outside and cold air entering. 2. Heating unit cannot be controlled by guest. 3. Stepping from room to outside walkway is too high. 4. Violations of disability laws. 5. One role of toilet paper for three room guests. 6. Towels enough for one room guest. 7. No extra blankets for guests in outside rooms. 8. No security. 9. Front desk too busy talking. 10. Had to explain to front desk exactly why our room needed additional blankets…very difficult people. 11. Not enough staff for the amount of people checked in. 12. Outside lighting violations. 13. Zero lighting for guests needing to park right side down back of building. 14. Handicap parking ? One spot? None for outside right-side of building, and no ramps or elevator. I am not sure if this resort should be even open…thought I was in on a high school outbound trip.

The property was secluded and not convenient to walk to shopping and dining. The room was hot when I checked in, but cooled down quickly. The price was reasonable for the area.

You can tell this was a beautiful property in its heyday. We weren't told there was a trolley stop there because we would have used it. The staff was courteous but offered no info about the area. We were given a map of the downtown when we asked. There were some info sources lying on the tables I noticed later. The outside pool was still open and appeared crystal clear. The inside pool and hot tub were disgusting - dirty around the edges and brown on the bottom. The area around the pool needed some upgrading and cleaning up. Although we knew there was a pool none of the property's amenities were explained until we asked. I'm a firm believer in tipping but I'll decide what to tip. This "resort" tacks on a $1.50/day/person for housekeeping to "make it easier on the guest". I realize it's a nominal amount & some people don't tip but I resent being told it makes it easier for the guest. We were there (3) nights and didn't use housekeeping. I would've tipped anyway but didn't leave an extra amount. Overall, it was a nice stay - quiet. It's frustrating to be charged the prices per night and getting a hotel that is worth so much less. This is across the board - not just here.

Why is it the the state of Maine can’t update there Hotels it’s like 1970 all over with 2023 prices. Old toilets sitting on the floor steps instead of Elevators , loud creaky floors above you . Rooms you can hear people talking outside and inside . If we have to pay 2023 prices update the Rooms to 2023

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in
This hotel has seen it’s day It is outdated and tired The floors are uneven and huge red stain on rug with old worn blankets on bed Stale, musty smelling rooms with old refrigerators in the room Overheard children in pool diving down for ‘fake fingernails’ they found at the bottom of the pool There is an old flip flop on the roof of the entrance to the hotel with weeds and greenery coming out of the gutters

The Rhumb Line is a great place. The vibe is great and the location is great. The food court is a treat and the company at the Rhumb Line is friendly and warm. But the lack of maintenance in the rooms is a problem.
