"The brief stay was fine. The website is terrible! We had a hard time finding the hotel, nearly impossible to find a phone number to call with a question, even the name of the place is confusing. (Best American--huh---is that the name of the place??) The internet took us to a similar address in Biddeford before we figured it out. You could do better in this regard."
