We stayed at the Inn for three nights to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect from the staff, to the food, and service with smiles. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The walk to the beach was less than five minutes.

My wife and I just returned from our third stay at the Higgins Beach Inn. We love the bright, comfortable rooms and its location, but its the hospitality that really keeps us coming back. Everyone working there liked what they were doing and it showed. The people working the reception desk, the restaurant staff, and the general manager really made us feel like we were at home. We had a very relaxing stay and will definitely go back.

My wife and I spent our anniversary weekend at Higgins Beach Inn and had an amazing stay. The staff was extremely friendly and tentative, the breakfast was delicious, and our room was absolutely beautiful. Just blocks from the surf beach we were able to gear up, catch the weekend swell, and then warm up in our comfy room. Thank you Higgins Inn for making our stay so memorable. See you again for sure!

A wonderful old but funky hotel/inn in a very quiet residential area. Great staff (kudos to Will) Beach is a block away. Terrific breakfast and dinners. At low tide, the hard packed beach goes out forever for lovely walks. Lots of surfers. Again, very quiet, but great nightlife, art museum etc is 15 minutes away in wonderful Portland, an easy stress-free drive. LOTS of nature trails nearby. Our second visit within 2 months and certainly not out last...

We stayed for one night in September. The inn is located in residential area one block from the beach. The restaurant food was great. The room and bathroom were clean. We enjoyed having a bathtub to relax in. The beach is clean and frequented by surfers and local residents.
