Cod Cove Inn, BW Signature Collection

The room was very clean and comfortable, with a mini-fridge and microwave. The bed and sofa were comfortable. The bathroom had a grab bar and rubber mat. The staff were courteous and efficient. The outdoor pool is at an adequate temperature, and there is a lovely garden with a gazebo. Breakfast was fine, but hard boiled eggs were the only protein source except for sausage gravy – but there were no sausages. There were biscuits, instant oatmeal packets, apples. The strange thing about this place is that it is called a BW Signature, which is usually a cut above an average Best Western. However, the room had no telephone, and no “do not disturb” sign for the door handle. An employee told me there were none in the hotel. One would expect the above-mentioned breakfast items in a basic BW, but would expect better at a Signature. I suggest BW remove the “Signature” from the label.

We have been staying at the Cod Cove for many years about twice a year. Back in the day there were delicious homemade muffins every morning; now there’s dry cereal and toast and a mean note saying not to take any food or drinks out of the breakfast area (despite only disposable coffee cups and paper plates), which is ridiculous that you can’t toast a bagel and bring it to your room. The pool is wonderful, but is it heated, as advertised? I really don’t think so. Also there are no longer towels for the pool. Lastly, the gardens are still beautiful but I don’t see that lasting long as no one is weeding them regularly. That said, the new management is very friendly, no problem with early check-in, it’s one of a diminishing number of places that make up your room every day, and it’s a great location. We just miss Ted and his muffins.

We had a perfect stay. Thank you!

Very convenient to everything from Wiscasset to Damariscotta and down to Boothbay and South Bristol. The hotel was super clean, with large rooms with balconies, and the staff (Amanda and Nick) were very helpful with every request. Loved the breakfast in the morning, standard fair, but fresh and plenty of it. Perfect base of operation when exploring the area. Would stay there again.

Wonderful stay, the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.

The Young Lady who checked us in was Outstanding. Loves her job and people, made it a pleasurable experience after a Long Drive. The Room was upstairs with a view. However was a Foggy Morning. The Room was very clean and comfortable. If in the area again I would return.
