    Location: the hotel was so close to the Museum of Art in Portland, and Higgins beach by day. The breakfast was complimentary with french toast, a fruit plate, pancakes and had something for everyone: )

    Beachside Location💫

    This place is super close to the beach, a beautiful spot that transforms as the sun and tides change. It's also just a 5-minute walk from here to Higgins Beach, and not far from Portland and Cape Elizabeth.
