Our Favorite Beachfront Hotel

Highly recommend the Union Bluff and the top floor rooms at the Meeting House. Room and view are fantastic and the Pub has great food and service. A little disappointed the ice machine in the Meeting House never seems to work and they don't have continental breakfast in the summer. Overall, a great place to stay!

Avoid if you're not interested in the ocean view!!

The room that we had (204) had dusty cobwebs hanging from two separate areas of the room. Near the picturesque corner fo the building windows, which were very dirty and had not been washed for a while. The curtains had been done on the cheap and were on rods that were so cheap that we were afraid to push them open. The mini refrigerator was unlevel and kept tilting when the door would be opened to grab something out. In the bathroom the ceiling fan was so loud and choppy that we thought it catch fire and didn't leave it running too long. There was moisture on the ceiling feom lack of fan usage and the tub was so hard to get in and out of for ahort people that it sucked! Also, the room was easily accessible from a back stairwell that had no safety precautions so that any guest could fall down them. The one enjoyable thing about the room was the view overlooking the ocean and nearby cape.

Family friendly A+ location

The location for Union Bluff makes it a great place to stay. I have been coming to this hotel since I was a child and I am now nearly 40. We always stay in the annex, which is very family friendly. Close to everything to walk or just hang out in your room.

We just finished up another stay at Union Bluff. I lost count of how many times we have been there, as a couple or as a family, and our experience is always great. Staff at the front desk is always welcoming and friendly. The hotel’s proximity to Short Sands is unbeatable. To be able to walk out of your hotel, cross a quiet one way road and be on the sand is wonderful. The hotel also has chairs set up along the shore to sit and enjoy a beverage of choice, time with loved ones or a good book, and of course, the view! We ate at the pub twice for lunch and the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. Our only “con” to this trip was short staffing didn’t allow for daily housekeeping, which was disappointing, but clearly communicated when we arrived in the room. However, the hotel did take advantage of technology and text me throughout our stay, making it easy to communicate any needs we had, and housekeeping was available on request. We love the Union Bluff and will definitely be back!
