Great place to stay. Staff was very nice. The room we had was Huge. Nice updated bathroom. The only thing, I would say is that they should really invest in some new doors. The front door had a couple of cracks and could see outside. The back door you had pull really hard to open. Other than that, I would stay again.

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.

We needed a place for a one night stay close to the Botanical Gardens. This place was only 10 minutes away and the price of $250 was reasonable. Staff was friendly and we got a king suit overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately our view was blocked by trees but it was sunset anyway and we were leaving in the morning so no big deal. Place smelled fresh and clean when we walked in and AC was working great, it was nice and cool. WIFI was also working. There was a TV and fridge and it looked like it had been recently renovated. Bathroom looked all new. Only complaints is the bathroom could of been cleaner. There was a sharp unidentifiable piece of plastic or something on the floor that I stepped on with bare feet and also the plasic thing that covers a razor blade still in the floor. Dead bugs and dirt along the edge of the floor. Stuff that should have easily been picked up by a vacuum or broom. Also someones used hand towel was still hanging on the rack behind the shower curtain in the bathroom when i stepped into the shower. Also there was no soap for the shower provided (shampoo and conditioner were though) Other than that the room was clean, quiet, and the property was beautiful. We sat on chairs watching the sun set and there was lots to do there if you stayed longer. Breakfast was also good and included, which was nice. And they are pet friendly so you can bring your dog. We would stay here again if we were in the area again.

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?

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.

We were happy with our stay and would stay again. We stayed over the July 4 long weekend. It wasn’t too busy, but not too quiet either. Our kids (3&7) enjoyed exploring the grounds, swimming in the pool which was about 78 degrees, played mini putt and other random games. The breakfast buffet was nice and we had the option of sitting in an outdoor dining hall or sitting inside with a view over the water. Next time we will go kayaking as there were many kayaks. The grounds are extremely charming with most rooms having a waterfront view. The buildings are rustic and from the outside could use some updating. Our room was renovated with a fresh coat of paint, new carpet and new bathroom fixtures. Our beds were comfortable and our pillows fluffy. The experience is more cabin in the woods than 5 star hotel.

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.

Ocean Gate Resort was an okay place to stay, but it didn’t live up to the “resort” label or the price. While we had a nice view of the harbor and appreciated the porch off our room, it doubled as a walkway for other guests, which made it feel far from private. The room itself was a decent size with plenty of storage space, and it included a mini fridge—though it lacked a freezer. The resort offered kayaks and canoes, which was a nice touch, but only for use in a very small section of the harbor. One major downside was that our air conditioning was broken, and with the sun beating in through the large window and door, the room became uncomfortably hot in the evening. Overall, this felt more like a motel than a true resort

Stay away unless you want to camp (with a room).It’s nothing like the pictures. The property is rundown.A lot of things are broken and left unrepaired. No soap or glasses were provided in the room. There’s barely any staff around. The surroundings are in dismay.

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.
