Pentagoet Inn

Delightful in located blocks from the ocean in Castine. Really great breakfast, bikes available to use, good wifi. There was a power outage due to a storm while I was there and while the building didn't have a generator, breakfast was still served the next morning and I noticed very little difference to the inn's normal procedures. Just a small thing, I don't think the heat in my room was on and it felt about 10 degrees colder in there than in the hallway outside. This is likely not an issue for most people as they're there during warmer months.

Charming property. Could you more staff, but staff was friendly and accommodating if a bit stretched thin. Baron Pub on premises very cool. Great atmkshere

Overall pleased but this inn is probably best suited for a few days (we booked a full week). Great location for day tripping up and down the coast with many beautiful sights to see. Prepare to be pretty disconnected - no TV which for us was slightly disconcerting as we like to keep current with the news. Breakfast was ok with a couple of selections that were repeating every couple of days. Dinner menu was the same every night with little to offer for my palate however it smelled good. Bar area is very eclectic and tiny. Room was small especially the bathroom but adequate especially if you are only using it to sleep. No A/C (not suprising in Maine) however we hit a very warm week so room was a bit uncomfortably warm even with ceiling fan on.

We booked ahead and stayed for several days. Inn was very expensive for what it is. There is a restaurant that takes up most of the downstairs and the veranda starting at 5pm. You have to walk through small restaurant lobby to reach rooms. Attention was more towards gourmet & pricey restaurant and inn guests were sidelined. There didn't seem to be anyone available for guest needs except in morning for a short time. Need more fans in room and more lamps for reading near chairs. Most of the staff is seasonal and brought in from poorer former U.S.S.R countries. I felt worried the first day because there were all these attractive, young girls with limited English to wait tables and clean rooms. As a woman, I found it stressful because I started worrying that they were trafficked. After asking questions etc --I do not believe this was the case, but I would greatly appreciate it if the inn communicated exactly what school program the girls were were participating in and that they were receiving fair pay and time off. I asked about it, but the innkeeper was not available -- another staff member was able to give some vague information about where the girls were from-- but it would be appreciated if complete information was given to guests. This world is a cruel place, and I don't like having to worry about things like this while on vacation.

Historic. Convenient location. Wonderful dining room and pub on site. Excellent complimentary breakfast and afternoon refreshments. Lovely porch. Unique aesthetic. Friendly staff and innkeeper.
