We've been to the Cape Neddick area every year for almost 2 decades, but this was our first time staying at the Viewpoint. I surprised my wife with a short 2 night trip to York. She loves the ocean and I knew she'd love the Upper Shoreside rooms with their amazing oceanfront rooms facing Nubble Lighthouse. We got room #2. The room was fantastic and the view did not disappoint. Modern SoCal to...

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The team at The Viewpoint really care that you enjoy your stay and it shows. The view from the Shoreline Room was amazing and with the cozy blankets provided I was able to see the sunrise on the balcony in January. Don’t miss a chance to have the best massage of your life at their spa. The bed was so cozy & the fireplace in the room magical. This was one ...

The Viewpoint Hotel greatly exceeded every expectation my husband had for this trip, which he planned as a surprise for our 36th wedding anniversary. We absolutely love Maine, with the Acadia/Winter Harbor area previously holding the top spot in our hearts. However, I must say that the experience at the Viewpoint Hotel has surpassed them all. The view of Nubble Lighthouse from our room was simply...

We had a spacious suite with a beautiful ocean view complete with lighthouse. Since we were here for Thanksgiving, and it was cold outside, we didn't explore the grounds; but there will be a lot to enjoy in the outdoors in warm weather. We were happily cozy in our suite, which was well-appointed with a gas fireplace to cheer and warm the living room, and a good-size kitchenette complete with full-...

View from hotel rooms absolutely amazing, and best part of our stay! The rooms are so cozy, perfect for enjoying the ocean front views. Girls at front desk were kind and helpful. This hotel felt more like an Airbnb property, other than coffee and tea in rooms no amenities on site. The spa looks cute, but hot tub and sauna do not get hot enough to use properly (sauna was about 55-60 C), maybe they ...
