Top South End Hotel Reviews

Ashworth by the Sea

8/10 Good

"We had a good stay except for the pull out couch. It was full of candy wrappers & chips. We found that to be disgusting. I don’t think it was the hotel itself, I think housekeeping may be lacking."

Ocean Sands at York Beach

8/10 Good

"The property was well maintained and pretty clean. The rooms could have been a little cleaner. Some of our towels had hair on them and the floors were already sandy when we arrived. We loved the little market that they had in the office. Especially the mini Starbucks! The worst part was that they have a policy where they only clean your room after the third night. So basically if you stay for a week you get your room cleaned once. But overall it was a really nice place to stay for the price."
