Would recommend (esp for the price)

This place was peaceful. A little rustic but definitely not roughing it—standard hotel room with a sort of a Maine camp feel. The bay views were nice. I like the amenities (breakfast was decent, nice pool, little minigolf set-up) and there’s some decently cool stuff in Boothbay within roaming distance if you want to leave the property. Would def do this again.

The view of the bay was lovely but the property has been neglected for quite some time. Very shabby and dingy. No amenities - not even a beverage machine on the property. Breakfast was plain and minimal. Staff uninterested and had to be told by customers that containers were empty. This stay was definitely not worth the rate paid. Pictures on website are not what you get.

A quiet location set on a cove on Southport island, our room was quiet and comfortable staff was attentive and ready to met our needs. My only issue was the chairs in our room and balcony had zero padding, very uncomfortable, otherwise a fantastic option.

This is my second stay at Ocean gate. Last year when I checked out they said they were doing a lot of remodeling over the winter. I didn’t see anything better honestly. The location is amazing. I can only imagine the place would be amazing with alot of work. The breakfast is the best part. Eggs bacon sausage and pancakes. Not to mention bagels toast cereal and fruit. Can’t beat that. The use of kayaks and canoes is great! The location itself is why I came back. The rooms need alot of help. Ceiling and walls were cracked. Fixtures rusted. I stayed three nights and only one night had available firewood for the fire pits. Easy drive to Boothbay. Would I stay again? Maybe if they really did remodel like their signs display all over the “resort.”

Amazing Hotel

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was extremely helpful and easy to get in contact with, they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I went with my husband and 5 kids. We went kayaking, played mini golf, ping pong ball and some other games — all included at no extra fee. Breakfast was the usual hotel breakfast, lots of space to eat. Beautiful scenery right on the waterfront. Lots of beautiful flowers too. Our room was nice, clean and had an outside seating area overlooking the ocean. I only wish the beds were more comfortable and the shower easier to figure out how to use… but those are minor details.

Not recommended

Nothing like what the photos show. Never had towels at the pool, rust on baseboard heating as well as towel rack in room. Hole in bathroom door, missing lightbulb in bathroom, empty shampoo/soap bottles in shower. Unable to lock our sliding door/screen. When I changed my view from “resort” to “summer camp”, things seemed better…

I felt mislead by the photos from Expedia and the property. I vacated the resort one day early and at a loss because the property and Expedia did not feel the need to refund me. The first night stay I couldn't sleep because of the smell (terribly musty). The bathroom smelled like the septic was backing up. The screen doors flew open as the hinges were not affixed, (I guess) and the screen door on the balony had a ripped screen. The ice machine was not working and while it was repaired before we left, I took notice to the fact that it was filthy with bird droppings a I mean a lot! The bathroom is tidy with not one place to set your belongings maybe I'm being picky but for the price I paid I had a much higher expectation. I will say the view from the balcony was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. However calling and emailing is of no use, no one will answer, ask Expedia they told me as well no one answered them for several days.

Dated property

We stayed at water facing property. They had kayaks and some other fun things for children to play with, which is good thing. Rooms were dated and bathroom was not really clean. They had mold in shower, sink did not drain water properly. We asked to change bedsheets, but they said it's done only if we stay for over 4 days. I understand going green and saving water, but if we need sheets changed, we need sheets changed. If the prices were maybe half of what they offer rooms for, the resort would be ok. But for over 250 a night on weekdays, its not worth it.
