We recently spent a weekend in Maine for Andy's birthday and had a great time! We go to Maine at least once per summer and stay with family, but this year, Andy's family treated us to a few nights at Anchorage by the Sea. This is a beautiful oceanfront resort within walking distance to most of the awesome shopping and dining in Ogunquit. We can't wait to go back! What do you like to do in Maine? Let us know in the comments! #fyp #foryoupage #maine #anchoragebythesea #anchoragebytheseaogunquit #mainetravel #mainebeaches #maineresorts #ogunquit #ogunquitmaine #ogunquitme #newengland #newenglandtravel #summertravel #acoupletravelers

The restaurant was great and most of the staff was wonderful, but our stay was ruined by the lack of management in their pool area. They allow guests (though they say it's discouraged) to sneak into the pool area at 4 am and reserve large amounts of pool chairs for the entire day even if they will only be at the pool for an hour or 2. About a dozen families took ALL of the chairs and left hundreds of other guests without seating while they weren't even at the pool. It's an incredibly selfish practice and I'm appalled that management condones this (by not setting a policy or stepping in). We showed up at the opening time (9 am) 3 days in a row to find no available chairs and only a handful of people in the pool. Hours later and the guests who "reserved" the chairs still hadn't shown up. There are about 70 or so chairs available and on one day we counted 44 unused by 11:00 am and 35 (HALF) still unused by 2:00. I watched one women reserve 10 chairs for her family of 3 on a DAILY basis. Other guests were sitting on the ground, had their belongings piled in corners, or just left while the handful of selfish guests were off doing something else and not even using the chairs they "reserved" with a towel and special towel clips. The response I got from the manager on duty (her name escapes me, but I believe it started with an R) was "Sorry, I don't know what to tell you". She didn't even offer to bring in more chairs! We will not be returning until they resolve this problem. It would not be ok for someone to “reserve” a hotel parking space or a table at the restaurant for an entire day with their personal belongings so why is it ok to hold pool chairs that are going unused for hours at a time?!? It’s not.

Beware of staying at the Anchorage that appears to be under new management! My family and I have been coming for the last five years and it’s a tradition. We booked two nights this year for Memorial Day weekend. We actually didn’t book until Friday morning when we saw the forecast and our work plans changed. There was a room available so we grabbed it, we were so excited. On the way up we received a phone call that they overbooked and didn’t have a room for us (despite my card being charged AND receiving a confirmation #) I have never heard of such a thing at a hotel. When I pressed the issue and asked for some kind of compensation/explanation for our travels and plans being ruined, I was met with attitude and no remorse. The manager on duty who wouldn’t share her name actually said “I don’t know why you’re on your way here now your room wouldn’t be ready anyways” and insisted this was not her fault. They magically were able to accommodate us for one night so we tried to make the best of it. Well upon checkout, when shaking the sheets out for our child’s toys, we were met with some very suspicious bug shells and stained sheets!! We told staff and their response was “ok we’ll tell maintenance” No compensation, no apologies, no phone call back 1 week later. I asked for the general managers email and was told “his name is too long to write down” My husband pressed the issue and we have emailed and no response. I would stay far away, and appears we aren’t the only ones with this experience!

I have been visiting this hotel annually for 30 years, and while the outside property is beautiful and in a prime location in Ogunquit, the rooms and service leave a lot to be desired for $460/night. The indoor pool had tons of peeling paint on the ceiling, about to fall into the pool. The bathrooms in the indoor pool area were horrific. There were stains in the shower and the men’s room had an out of order sink and no soap. That is absolutely unsanitary. My husband eventually reported it, but it was like that for three days and had gone unnoticed. In our room, there was a stain above our bathroom toilet that was covered by a plastic patch. There was no one checking on the parking lot or pool area. I saw a young man bring new towels to the pool area and some housekeeping staff but no management or employees present otherwise. I probably won’t be back to the Anchorage or Ogunquit, as this new property management group has acquired all of the hotels I would have considered staying at and they are going downhill quickly, if the Anchorage is any indication. It’s too bad. More staff needs to be present checking on things and condition of public areas. Dirty cups and wet towels were strewn about the common areas all day into the evening.

Christian was very friendly and welcoming at check-in. Room was a little disappointing - bed was hard and bathroom sucked. Location and view were phenomenal. Awesome hot tub.
