Reviews for Rhumb Line Resort
Review 1:There is nothing I didn't like....everything is perfect!!!
Review 2:Absolutely everything was perfect...staff is the friendliest and most accommodating! We love everything about it!!!!
Review 3:The place is a little dated. Outdoor restaurant closed for season, but it must be nice when open.
Review 4:Two pools, two hot tubs. convenient location. Very helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Review 5:Too many stairs for me. Stayed on the bottom floor but had to go down a flight of stairs with luggage. Room was cramped and bathroom was tiny. Very noisy people above me. Thin walls so can feel them walking and hear their voices
Review 6:Liked the convenience of the breakfast every morning
Review 7:Hotel located about 10 minutes from the center of Kennebunkport, nice and quiet surrounding. Room was clean, had a fridge and free wi-fi. We could go to the swimming pool and use an indoor and outdoor hot thub. All stay was very nice, I wish we could stay longer. :)
Review 8:The staff seemed annoyed with changes, there were only 2 towels in a double queen room for a 2 day stay, was automatically charged for housekeeping gratuity without previous knowledge
Review 9:The indoor pool & hot tub was a nice way to relax, room was neat and clean, staff was helpful with places to eat
Review 10:Nothing
Review 11:The staff was welcoming and extremely helpful. We had an unusual situation and the were very accommodating. Liked the pool and hot tub and breakfast was fine. Would stay again.
Review 12:Breakfast was not very good. Should have scrambled eggs, real oat meal, fresh fruit. Also, one of the two queen beds was really lumpy and not comfortable.
Review 13:Nice room, nice facility, staff was helpful.
Review 14:room smelled horrible, staff over charged my credit card by $500.00, drains in shower and sink were plugged. Beds were very uncomfortable. Staff unresponsive to concerns.
Review 15:close to destination
Review 16:The facility is badly in need up an upgrade
Review 17:Location - very close to village of Kennebunkport; family friendly, nice pool, convenient, it was great that we could order food and have it brought right to our little deck that overlooked the pool/bar area
Review 18:Had to pay an additional 10.00 a night for a room that didn't smell musty. Rationale from staff is that they had been recently renovated. Couldn't tell by appearance of room to include stained carpet and sagging mattress. Fitness area closed. Indoor pool needed cleaning when we arrived.
Review 19:Check in was smooth.
Review 20:The bedding was ratty, the shower needs repair, the furniture was from the 60's, the musty smell was overpowering, we got locked out of our room and the front desk person said we demagnetized the key - then she realized nope
Review 21:The outside hot tub
Review 22:The place is in desperate need of repairs. We were pre-charged $3 tip for housekeeping and when I saw the place I understood why this was done!! I heard another lady complaining to the staff about the poor conditions.
Review 23:The negatives are- old, dirty carpet; poor television reception; unkept patio; cramped lavatory; super aggressive flies-lots of them.
Review 24:The plusses are- outstanding receptionist, nice pool area, comfortable pillows, convenient location, nice breakfast.
Review 25:Heated pool outside was cold. The pool bar wasn't open most of the time. No fridge in room. Room had a smell to it.
Review 26:Pools and hot tub were clean. The grounds were kept very nice. Nice location.
Review 27:Wifi not great, ran up a$65 data bill. Rooms we requested not redone yet but we're told they will be shortly. Bathroom small, all needs updating. Having said this, it is perfect for our needs w 2 pre adolescent grandchildren
Review 28:Take 2 grandchildren. Indoor & outside pool are the main draw! I understand about 2/3 of place is being redone. Staff helpful.
Review 29:We stayed on the lower level, the people staying above us kept walking around above us late @ night plus early in the am. You cld hear the floor creak at times. It annoyed my wife more than me...lol!
Review 30:Very Nice Hotel with a close proximity to Kennebunkport village. Our room was clean & staff was friendly. Pools & hot tubs were good sized . Morning breakfast offered a good variety. Had some drinks at the bar at night, bar tender Sandy was very hospitable to my wife & I. I noticed they are renovating some rooms to keep things nice.
Review 31:Had to change rooms because the 1st one was a non-premium one which booking.com does not offer but the pictures online was the premium room! They were going to charge us an aditional $40 but settled for $20 more!
Review 32:hottubs/pools/breakfast
Review 33:We read the reviews that said the rooms were musty after making our reservation. It was too late to cancel. When I called and asked to be given a room that wasn't musty, we had to pay extra to upgrade. The air conditioner died in the middle of the night so we had to sleep with the window open and listen to the guests at the bar partying.
Review 34:Was annoyed that the admirals table was closed have stayed there quite a few times and enjoy relaxing at bar and getting something to eat it was misting and they didn't open heard many customers not happy
Review 35:Outdoor hot tub and pool
Review 36:extremely dirty and not clean, dirty carpet, stains on everythinh, room not vacumed, nails and paper from previous geests all over th pace, airconditioner from 1968 sounds like a jetplane, really really overprized
Review 37:nothing
Review 38:Sink in bath was clogged. Carpets could be replaced. needs updating and I would take a look at the deck-wood is rotting! Breakfast was disappointing.
Review 39:Staff was great, Pilows and beds were comfortable and room was clean
Review 40:The woman at the desk barely spoke when we checked in. The room was on the lower level and smelled "damp and musty". The steps looked like they hadn't been swept in months and the carpet in our room was damp. There was no air in any of the common areas and they were very warm.
Review 41:We only stayed one night. If we had booked more, we would have cancelled.
Review 42:Location, I stayed there many years ago and the place looks so good now. Everything was good. Love the outside bar/lobster dinner!! I will recommend and return!
Review 43:Breakfast was a disappointment!!!!
Review 44:Loved the heated and outdoor pool and hot tubs. having a lunch and dinner option with a bar/drinks was fabulous!
Review 45:Our son's Mac Book did not connect to WiFi but all other devices had no issues.
Review 46:This is an older hotel, but we'll cared for. It was our first visit to Kennebunkport and we would stay here again on a return visit. Nice and quiet location near town.
Review 47:Bar area a little loud at night but, we were right next to it.
Review 48:Free breakfast...Indoor and outdoor pools and whirlpools...Dinner available during good weather outdoors.
Review 49:Would like to see the units renovated and updated.
Review 50:Room ready when we arrived early, extremely helpful desk staff, amenities included - in and outdoor pools, food and drink cabana near pool area, nice tucked away in the country.
Review 51:YOU ADVERTISED WI-FI IN EVERY ROOM BUT HAD TO GO TO LOBBY TO USE COMPUTER. VERY INCONVENIENT
Review 52:GREAT POOL AND RESTAURANT BUT WOMAN WAITRESS/BARTENDER GENERALLY RUDE
Review 53:We really didn't like how it seemed like it was a trailer park or camp ground community and everyone was outside and seemed to know each other. They just hung out there all day outside, sitting on picnic benches and yard chairs. Very very odd for a coastal, beach town and semi- creepy. Though to us this was bizarre and semi-creepy, the place was actually really really good for the price and location. Also the breakfast is awful and they handled the food with their bare hands which deterred us from eating breakfast the following days.
Review 54:The place was well kept and had a lot to offer, including the bar/restaurant by the pool that made it seem a little more exotic.
Review 55:Only good things to say. Everything was lovely. Will certainly return when in the area.
Review 56:It was a convenient location as well as very inviting with the outside pool, food and bar amenities. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.
Review 57:Free WiFi was only located in one common room. We were unable to get Internet in our room. Breakfast could have more variety.
Review 58:We lived the location. It seemed centrally located from everything we wanted to see. Not thing was more then a hour drive.
Review 59:The only real complaint is that they said there was free wifi.....but it was only in the hotel lobby. NO wifi available in the rooms.
Review 60:Nice, quiet and comfortable. Good value for the money
Review 61:I would not have booked the non-renovated room. The picture on the website shows the newly renovated room not the old room. In order to get a decent room you need to select a premium room. That was not made clear on the booking site. I asked to upgrade after we saw our room, but was told there were no more premium rooms available. The front desk woman gave me an unwanted attitude. I can only guess that she argues with a lot of unhappy people who think they've reserved the room in the photo on the website.
Review 62:The pool was nice. The bartender was friendly.
Review 63:It was unfortunate that one of the main reasons for choosing this motel was the presence of a fitness area, however when I arrived it was not available due to construction which was not advertised.
Review 64:the indoor poll was being repaired so there was not much to do as the weather was rainy so if indoor pool could have been open .needs really good spring clean felt stair case needs good clean too bathroom had extractor fan very noisy did complain nothing was done about it. As we day extra stay b4 this day lucky our host prepaid for those night.
Review 65:it was spacious place in good surroundings area was woodland. it needs to be well sign posted as can miss the turning quite easily.
Review 66:Manager had an attitude when you asked a question, never smiled and was rude at all times. Repair guy rude. Girl at the bar/ restaurant was not pleasant, rude and unwilling to be helpfull. Too many kids could not enjoy pool time!
Review 67:The cook was very nice, made us wait 3 hours for steamed lobster but accepted his mistake. And Katelyn a very pleasant housekeeper.
Review 68:Staff was excellent.and rooms very comfortable....wanted to check an hour early as we were travelling to a wedding and we were not allowed..thought that was a bit unreasonable..so in realiry we were only thwre in room to sleep
Review 69:The rooms were very outdated. My son's bed was concave. There were only a couple of electrical outlets in the room. One under the desk, one in the bathroom. In a world where kids live on their devices, it was very inconvenient to not have a place where they could lay down and be plugged in.
Review 70:The grounds were very nice. The kids enjoyed the pools. It was very convenient to have the restaurant/bar next to the pool.
Review 71:The hallways and room smelled awful. The room was very outdated and could use new comforters.
Review 72:The pool and outdoor bar was nice. The staff was very friendly.
Review 73:breakfast was subpar. Fresh fruit would help it out a great deal. Also, the indoor pool was under construction and we were never told about this prior to arriving. That was a big let down. Also, spa?
Review 74:The outdoor pool and hot tub next to the outdoor bar was fabulous. The staff was awesome, very friendly and personable.
Review 75:The indoor pool was closed due to remodeling. Gym was closed. Property didn't look nearly as nice as the picture. We paid good money expecting to be able to use the complete facility.
Review 76:Location.
Review 77:The blanket on the bed was very worn-had a hole at the top...the rug smelled, rooms very dated..dirty musty rug made the room very damp feeling. The throw blanket-was very worn looked..didn't dare touch it..pink stains on linoleum near toilet. Would not return paying close to 200$..not worth the money. Terribly Disappointed...
Review 78:The premises was clean. Pillows were fluffy. White sheets looked clean. Bathroom shower looked new-supplied soaps.free wifi.
Review 79:The carpet in the room 114 needs replacement.
Review 80:The outside and inside jacuzzis and pools are clean. They offer a great way to rest, relax or play. The grounds are lovely. The beds in the room were very comfortable.
Review 81:I found the front desk clerk on Sat afternoon to be extremely rude. Not a good way to be greeted on your vacation. A second couple waiting to get expressed the same concerns.
Review 82:The entire facility, quiet, lovely room and deck. Very nice continental breakfast in a pleasant breakfast room. Grounds and surrounding area well tended and cared for.
Review 83:Breakfast items could have been better. No eggs, bacon, etc. No coffee in the evening in the lounge. Barely any nutritional items such as fresh fruit.
Review 84:First impression was awful - Jar at front desk was labeled:"Ashes of Problem Customers". The only way to find the place is via GPS directions. Bathroom is small with old fixtures. One light had not even been plugged in for use.
Review 85:Couldn't use the pool be cause of rowdy children at one time and big guys another time playing football.
Review 86:The front desk staff went above and beyond to be helpful. Finding answers to any questions we had..making phone calls if they didn't have the answer. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to come back.
Review 87:Breakfast was lacking. Only some breads, bagels, sweet breads. Cheerios unpeeled boiled eggs. A hot waffle maker or better yet some micro-wave omelets would be a great upgrade.
Review 88:Hot tub & pool in and out Very quiet Near shops & restaurants Not far from interstate
Review 89:Advertised as having wi-fi in the room but that was not the case. When Icontacted front desk immediately, I was advised "room is too faraway" to get the reception for it but if I came to the lobby"it might work when I get back to the room". I didn'twaste my time. If they know the room is too far away, why say wi-fi forthat room? Also bed was very uncomfortable once under the blankets.Laying on top very comfortable as it had a thick down comforter
Review 90:Spacious clean room, continental breakfast had a large variety of freshand good products
Review 91:2nd time-would go back. Location perfect for mile into town for shopping, beaches near and many good restaurants. Inn has many indoor and outdoor facilities
Review 92:The place needs some TLC Drains clogged. Chair have green coating around pool. The picnic tables around bar area should be replaced with something more modern. The place needs an overhaul.
Review 93:A great location and staff were very nice.
Review 94:Big reception for a wedding party during one night - noisy and detracted from the overall guest experience. Would have liked advanced notice so we could have planned to eat in town. Overall it was OK
Review 95:Room was comfortable and pool was clean
Review 96:The entire place was outdated. All of it, by decades. Our room smelled musty and reminded me of my grandmothers house, 15 years ago. Front desk was a mess and the woman at the front desk was not professional, a little too casual and comfortable.
Review 97:The resort was close to the main part of kennebunkport. Parking was a indent and we were able to park close to our room. We also had a balcony that looked over the pool area, that was cool. The room was tidy.
Review 98:Food service slow and our order was "lost" and when inquired told "lost your slip just a couple of minutes" but waited another 45 minutes on top of the 50 minutes previously waited. Wouldn't order food again
