Wonderful

Receptionist that evening was outstanding. We were given a room that had not been cleaned (dirty towels, dirty shower, unmade bed, sheets etc)!! She apologised and was very pleasant- swiftly making up the room. Couldn’t have been nicer.
The receptionist in the morning was pleasant as well.
One bummer: The shower head though -it sprays too high and oddly off to the side making it difficult to rinse soap off. Otherwise large and comfy room with peaks of the water. Really super nice staff!!! Just maybe not quite worth the money. But nice casual laid back beach area vibes. :)
Loved the relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to a pristine, expansive beach. The accommodations were comfortable and attractive. Our breakfast first rate. The neighborhood was quiet, quaint and welcoming. The only issue we had was a loud fan right outside our bedroom window. We would definitely return and simply choose a different room.
Nice location and cozy room. Front desk greeter seemed distracted with her phone, not friendly and disheveled looking for the front desk. Restaurant staff was awesome in comparison. Issues mainly with checkin otherwise a good stay.
We had a wonderful stay at Higgins Beach Inn. The building itself is a beautifully maintained. The staff are very friendly. It's just a short walk to the beach.
Staff was very helpful and nice. Such a cute inn. Room was great and very clean. Restaurant inside the inn was delicious. Quick walk to a lovely beach. Such a nice quaint town.
Unfortunately you can hear doors closing all night long. it is very inconvenient getting luggage to your room. Also no where to put your close we were only there for one night so not a huge deal. We loved the room and bathroom. staff was great and so was the location.
I really liked the old New England charm of this hotel. Dinner at the restaurant was wonderful with unique creations by the chef. If you are looking for a classic, historic feel, this is a wonderful place.
One block from the beach is a perfect location. All the chairs are wicker and need to be replaced as there really isn't anywhere other than the bed to sit. Staff was very friendly and overall the rooms were very clean.
