went back for drinks a few years ago since they have a deck overlooking the beach and paths leading to it and we were in town for something else. no issues at all
Portland is close which would be a fun town to wander around at that time of year

This is in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where I spend a good deal of my summers. I enjoy dinner at the restaurant a few times per summer, and I have always thought this to be a nice upscale inn. Often in Maine the inns can be rather frumpy or long in the tooth.
They have some duplex rooms which include an interior loft that makes good use of the square footage.

Not quite "luxury" but a great spot. The two-level rooms are excellent and feature a mini kitchen so you can stock up on snacks and maybe breakfast foods. On-site restaurant is very nice and is just down the coast from Portland, with many great eats. Have good memories of this spot. October should be lovely.

Nice place and it should be lovely in October between the ocean and the foliage. The service was good but more friendly and laid back rather than preemptive and anticipatory. The rooms were comfortable - pretty and cozy as opposed to sophisticated. Some rooms have fireplaces which would be nice in the fall. Not 5* by the standards of this forum but definitely a nice place to stay.
Make time to visit Portand if you are a foodie. It has an incredible number of restaurants and is well known for the diversity and quality of its offerings. It is also a good time to explore since the towns are not as crowded as they are during the summer.

Thanks for all the info.. I am debating whether or not to keep my reservation here, or pick a place in Portland. IT appears that only the classic rooms have fireplaces; and we are more interested in a suite.
Any other options in Maine? The White Barn Inn gets seriously panned by one of my co-workers...
