Higgins Beach Inn

HBI is our favorite summer getaway - it is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern hospitality. The staff was friendly and check in easy. The rooms were clean and comfortable and, although simple (the way life should be!), we had everything we needed for a great stay over the 4th. We try and visit several times a season, you can't beat the location!

I believe the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The only thing I don't like is we didn't have help with carrying the suitcases up the stairs. The room was great and clean. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent. We also go and will continue to go in the summer.

Stayed here mid-week for three nights with another couple in June. The property is well kept both inside and out, in an old/historic building. Like many older buildings, the floors are not level, creek, doors to the room are not sound proof, and the rooms were small. Initially, we were a big worried about our choice, but by the end of the trip the charm of the inn made us seriously consider another visit. I had read a few reviews regarding the noise levels and was a bit concerned. While you can certainly hear more noise than a typical hotel, we were pleasantly surprised just how quiet things got at 10pm. There seemed to be a mutual understanding amongst the guests to be quiet in the late evening until the following morning. I can see why others may have had a different point of view if there was a loud group staying at the property. The property was super clean, which was a huge relief. Although they don’t offer daily housekeeping service, they have a unique way to get fresh towels. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we missed them at our next hotel. We loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings having a drink and people watching. There aren’t a lot of areas to hang out at the property which could have been a bit frustrating if everyone wanted to do the same. The staff was pleasant and very polite. Breakfast at the attached restaurant was delicious, all though we were less impressed with dinner. Probably the biggest selling point is the location. It’s in a more quiet area within a 5 min walk to an amazing beach. Had I gone in with the mindset that this is an old historic inn with beach vibes, I think my initial reaction would have been different. It’s not a 5-star property by any means, but the overall experience and memories made were 5-stars. By the end of our stay we were sad to be leaving and hope to go back soon.
