Hotels Near Spear Farm Estuary Preserve in Cumberland County

Love staying at this place. Always feel like it's home and the people are lovely. The breakfast place on the property is the best plus the restaurant, Muddy Rudder, gives a discount for staying at the Inn. Bed was so comfy and our dog loved the place too!!

Great Hotel! Great friendly staff! Comfortable. Nice room. Great breakfast. Freeport is nice place for tourists. We went see LL Beans stores. Wow! Awesome big place. Great vacation. Also We went Restaurant in Freeport. Can’t remember the name of the restaurant. We stayed one day in Freeport then left headed went to Bar Habor , Maine. Our best vacation!

The hotel is about 20 minutes from Portland. We stay there one night after visiting Portland. Due to covid-19, the hotel is very quite. The room is very clean. The breakfast is in the bag. You go to front desk to pick it up. It’s very simple, one banana and two small snacks. But you can get coffee and hot water in the breakfast room.

Let me open with I am a Hilton person. Mostly all I stay at when I travel. I would not recommend staying here. There are train tracks directly outside along one entire face of the hotel. One entire side of rooms are up against it. A freight train went by at 2:20 a.m. and woke up the entire room. Another train went by at 7 a.m. Rooms are clean which is why I gave it a second star. Staff is not great. Huge line to check in. Three people behind the counter. One checking people in and the other two literally standing there just talking. Garden Inn gives you either breakfast or 750 points with your stay. The women checked me in and didn’t ask. I asked her to put me in for the points, she said come down in the morning. I am a Diamond Member and asked about the free premium WiFi. The women said she had never heard of that. Just an all around disaster. Hilton needs to step up their game in Freeport because I will not be returning to this location.

We visited Freeport in 2019 and ate at the Broad Arrow Tavern. We thought if we visited again, we would definitely want to stay at the Inn. We had 3 people in our party, so I booked a townhome. I didn't anticipate the ”townhouses are located toward the back of our property, along a beautiful treelined path” would actually be a steep uneven path my 91 year old father would have to traverse with his walker. We were greeted with a musty smell when we opened the door. There wasn't enough comfortable seating for ”a family”. Two of us sat on the couch and one sat on the desk chair to watch TV together. I can't imagine if we had our whole family with us. I think there is a reason why they didn't post pictures of the townhomes on the website. They are old, small and not well appointed. There is no curtain in the entry window by the door, so there is no privacy for the downstairs. Anyone going by could watch your family without your knowledge. I know because walking by the other townhomes, we could see into everyone that had their lights on. I'm not sure where we were supposed to put the soap for the bathroom sink because there was no soap dish. The bathroom was tiny. There was no dishwasher detergent for the dishwasher and no drying rack for the sink. I can only assume they wanted you to use the dishwasher to store hand washed dishes. They left a large sponge (not sure how old or how clean) to do dishes. There were no regular towels to dry hands or dishes. Paper towels were provided. The refrigerator doesn't have an ice maker. There was one cube of trays half filled, so I can only assume someone else touched that ice cube tray on a previous visit. No decaf coffee was provided. The bed's headboard rocked. We had to put towels across the headboard because it was hitting the wall every time we sat on the bed. The blanket that was on the bed didn't even go across the whole bed as it was one size too small. There were no extra pillows/blankets. It would have been nice to use a blanket while watching TV. I doubt the carpets were vacuumed between guests because I found a piece of broken plastic in the middle of the hallway floor upstairs. I'm glad I saw it because it was sharp and had the diabetic guests cut their foot on it, it could have led to a serious problem. I'm not sure if there is an electrical issue with this townhome, but I will cation future guests when using the plugs. They sparked upstairs and downstairs when I was plugging things in. The place has been partially renovated with new countertops on old cabinets. It appears to be new carpet. There is evidence of pictures that used to hang on the wall but don't any more. I'm not sure why there is a hole in the living room ceiling. There is a chipped mirror and rusted metal in the bathroom, old & scratched furniture, etc. The main bedroom had a broken closet door. There is a TV in one bedroom only although there is a TV cabinet in the other bedroom. After seei
