Hotels near Robbinston, ME

“I stay in or near Calais only a few times put of the year for work. In Calais I have had a tough time finding a place to stay where I felt comfortable. If you have been there, you probably understand what I am talking about. But the Redcliffe was workable. It is a little dated, but big rooms, close to the water and a good sleep there. I will go back there again. Be prepared though, they do let you know that they have hard water. It wasn't that big of a problem to me. They also had an air filter unit in the room that I liked. Another note, they are seasonal, so check if they are open before planning a stay.”

“This was my favourite part of a road trip from Montreal, through New Brunswick, a stay at St. Andrews (here), on to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island before driving back up to Quebec City. A seven hotel break and this was hands down, the best out of all of them. Only a handful of rooms (six, I think) but all of thooked lovely, (full disclosure, I looked in when they were empty). As it's very close to the Maine border, from what I could gather, from speaking to others staying, a lot of people use it a stopover point for a road trip. We had booked a whale watching trip and so were staying a few days.Room was great with a kitchenette and a bathtub as well as separe shower. There was a separate seating area inside too with a sofa and TV. There were sunlounger chairs on the balcony outside which also led down to carparking area (Car Park is a little ambitious a description, as it's literally enough for residents down the side of the building, but it does have a "reserved for residents" sign and we always had a spot). The only downside, which wasn't enough for me to remove any from the rating, was that if you're on the top floor, as we were, there's a lot of stairs to lift your luggage up to, with no lift but the offer was there to help you if you needed it).Downstairs, there is a restaurant on the left and an Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar store, both owned by the hotel. I could have happily worked. my way through the menu and it is very popular with locals and tourists alike. Try to book ahead of arriving if you can as I did witness them have to turn people away. The owner recommended a pub close by for our first evening and told us she'd find a space for our second night. The food was excellent.Breakfast is on the same restaurant and had a better than average selection of yoghurt a, prettily arranged individual fruit salads and pastries. Toast was brought if you asked for it and coffees were perfect (love a latte in the morning and most places throughout our trip was literally strong brewed coffee), all in all they made it feel more homely than any hotel I've stayed at.Being on the main street through St Andrews was also a bonus as we left the car for the majority of the time and could just walk to many places. The whole town is very touristy but arriving just out of season, we could see the locals winding down for the winter with many shops and restaurants already closed. For us, it was the perfect time as I think if there too many tourists, then you can't really see the town, as you're spending all your time trying to squeeze past people everywhere and the locals are trying to keep up to everything so don't have time to relax and chat.Anyway, rambling aside, the highlight of this trip had to be the sunsets at the Treadwell Inn. I'll let my pics do the work describing them.”

“We had the most delicious surf and turf, and fish chowder! The Caesars were large and very tasty, the steak was spiced and cooked to perfection, and shrimp and scallops fresh and tasty. The fish chowder was creamy, delicious, and full to the brim with fish. Thanks! We will be back.”
