6/10 Good

Fine, but not what I expected.

The property is far more rustic than the pictures suggest. Also, it is a bit run down. Our room had a fantastic view but was definitely in need of some repairs. It was fine for our needs but I expected more for the price I paid.
Gregory, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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 It may have been very clean but hard to tell because it was all so outdated.
Leah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Lilly, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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?
Robert, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

A quiet location set on a cove on Southport island, our room was quiet and comfortable staff was attentive and ready to met our needs. My only issue was the chairs in our room and balcony had zero padding, very uncomfortable, otherwise a fantastic option.
