Please confirm everything before pressing BOOK NOW

I can not rate this hotel in any way other than their customer service. I am also not impressed with Hotels.com. I was searching for accommodations in Southport Connecticut. Somehow the Ocean Gate Resort popped up as an option. I booked a room for 2 nights. It was less than an 1 1/2 hours latter that I noticed on my conformation e-mail that the hotel is located in the state of Maine. I contacted Hotels.com who reached out to Ocean Gate. Two days later I recieved an e-mail from Hotels.com that the hotel was sticking to their no cancellation policy. I understand policy, but how did a Maine hotel appear in a search of a Connecticut hotel. So, shame on Hotels.com for an appearent glitch in their booking system, and I don't even know what to say about Ocean Gate other than, Policy or Greed?

Needs major maintenance

Has potential to be a great place but needs some upkeep. The room was nothing like pictured. Great view but not much else I can say about this place. It may have been very clean but hard to tell because it was all so outdated.

We were happy with our stay and would stay again. We stayed over the July 4 long weekend. It wasn’t too busy, but not too quiet either. Our kids (3&7) enjoyed exploring the grounds, swimming in the pool which was about 78 degrees, played mini putt and other random games. The breakfast buffet was nice and we had the option of sitting in an outdoor dining hall or sitting inside with a view over the water. Next time we will go kayaking as there were many kayaks. The grounds are extremely charming with most rooms having a waterfront view. The buildings are rustic and from the outside could use some updating. Our room was renovated with a fresh coat of paint, new carpet and new bathroom fixtures. Our beds were comfortable and our pillows fluffy. The experience is more cabin in the woods than 5 star hotel.

Disappointing

We were quite disappointed with our stay. The room smelled musty and was very dark. It was advertised as having an « ocean view » but outside our window was uncut grass and weeds, and full trees, as well as a lost bathing suit that must have fallen from the balcony above. We could see a peek of the water. In addition there was no garbage can and the toilet flush was loose. The breakfast was okay with some warm items. Our highlight was the use of the kayak as well as the ping pong table. I think this is mis labeled a « resort » and instead should be called a family camp. It was quote run down and did not resemble the advertised photos at all.

Ocean Gate Resort was an okay place to stay, but it didn’t live up to the “resort” label or the price. While we had a nice view of the harbor and appreciated the porch off our room, it doubled as a walkway for other guests, which made it feel far from private. The room itself was a decent size with plenty of storage space, and it included a mini fridge—though it lacked a freezer. The resort offered kayaks and canoes, which was a nice touch, but only for use in a very small section of the harbor. One major downside was that our air conditioning was broken, and with the sun beating in through the large window and door, the room became uncomfortably hot in the evening. Overall, this felt more like a motel than a true resort

Stay away unless you want to camp (with a room).It’s nothing like the pictures. The property is rundown.A lot of things are broken and left unrepaired. No soap or glasses were provided in the room. There’s barely any staff around. The surroundings are in dismay.

RUN! Dont waster your money

This was an absolute disaster! We had to be moved from original room because of mold infested ac and ended up staying 2 days in a room that had NO hot water. The entirw property wi-fi was down and there was no coffee or machine available in the rooms! Yvonne who works the front desk was professional and did what she could but the issues definitely the fault of the owners! I will NEVER stay there again! The website does not offer the reality of this property and ALL its dysfunction. I swear the bed was 20 years old and super uncomfortable.

I thought the property was very quaint, loved the views from my deck overlooking the water. Every staff member greeted me every time I came across them. I feel they did a wonderful job getting the property up to par seeing how they had just opened for the season on 6/18/25!! Breakfast was delicious.

Would recommend (esp for the price)

This place was peaceful. A little rustic but definitely not roughing it—standard hotel room with a sort of a Maine camp feel. The bay views were nice. I like the amenities (breakfast was decent, nice pool, little minigolf set-up) and there’s some decently cool stuff in Boothbay within roaming distance if you want to leave the property. Would def do this again.
