The inn has been renovated nicely and is well decorated, but in my opinion over-done. I feel it needs to be toned down a, to give it a more authentic feel, because as it stands it is, in my opinion, quite
gaudy. While there is something to be said for elegance and good taste, they clearly have gone over-the-top in order to attract the attention of tourists. The food is on the gourmet side, and prepared
well, although it certainly isn't anything exceptional.

We stayed at the Capt. Nickels Inn while visiting family in the area, and were simply charmed. A nice variety of rooms, all with interesting furnishings, tastefully assembled. We stayed in the "bridal suite". which has its own balcony with a view of the water and large fountain of the master bedroom, a sitting room, with kitchenette, and adjoining bedroom with twin beds. There are rooms to gather in, rooms to escape to, and always something to stimulate thought and conversation.

We stayed for breakfast, which was superbly delicious and original, severd by our gracious and friendly hostess, Sherri, along with a wealth of useful information.

We found ourselves looking for a reason to have a family gathering, just to take advantage of the indoors and outdoors, and all the ranges of intimacy the Inn offers. The Ballroom is absolutely perfect for a wedding, and nicely appointed with facilities for in-house music, or live music. If you have a wedding there, please invite us!

The inn is amazing with great ambiance and food. I absolutely loved staying here with my girlfriend who decided at the last minute to take a road trip through the coast of Maine. We had a good time the service was friendly and timely. Thanks!!

This is the best inn in Searsport! I frequently drive through this area on business and decided to stay the night. The place has a lot of class and is very clean. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend getaway or sophisticated evening. Kudos!
