Great rooms with awesome view.

Our annual Maine visit to York Beach with stay at Stones Throw. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the view of the beach are extraordinary. I left an electric car charging connector there attached to the Tesla charger. They retrieved it for me and made arrangements to ship it to me. Their restaurant is excellent too.

Room was nice and clean. The balcony overlooking the ocean was nice. Finding the room was challenging as there are no staff on site and checking is contactless. Plenty of parking.

thomas

Disliked: Staff & service

Overpriced and disappointing

Pros: comfortable bed and food restaurant. Cons: curtains are too small, street and hallway light are bright at night, hallways smelled like someone smokes inside, view is obstructed by power lines + telephone pole. Room was advertised as ocean front walkout which is not accurate. This was a 3rd floor room and did not look like the advertised room. At almost $1,300 for two nights, disappointed with quality / value.
