Atlantic House Inn

York Beach

The star of this place is GM Dan.  From my first phone call to meeting him.  He's an asset to the place.   So personable.    If you stay here, you get a great location.  Walk out of the building, you are in the shops and so close to the beach.   Of course, this can be a negative, as I did have a hard time sleeping as the beach groomers started super early.  You are also above restaurants and a singer if he's performing, which are noisy.   We had a Queen suite.  It was super nice.  Only complaint was the bed.  My back hurt from it.  I feel that needs to be upgraded.   

My family and I have stayed at the Atlantic now many times.  Each year we go back because it is so centrally located at York Beach.  You can walk out their front door and be right near the water and all the shops.  Without question one of the best things about the AH is Dan the GM.  Sweetest guy in the world who will do all that he can to make your stay a pleasant one.  Any time we have asked him for something he was right on it.  The rooms are nice and the staff is courteous and helpful.  The one thing I have learned when booking a room during peak months is find a room that is not over or near the lounge on the second floor.  It is loud, like some of the negative reviews say, but if you let Dan know, he can put you in a room that will be unaffected by the noise.  That's what we do.  All in all a great experience.  Thank you Dan for your kindness.

General Manager Dan is great!

Yes indeed! Directly across from the beach, in the middle of the town square, and part of the same building that houses the Piano Bar! Reasonable rates, clean nice rooms with a jacuzzi tub. We stayed there the last weekend in July 2019, and we had a great time. I must say that "Dan the Hotel Man" (the manager and a frequent singer at the Piano Bar) was truly an amazing host! This hotel, due to the age and location, has no parking lot. We used the public spaces on the street out front of the hotel. The Town of York charges $2.00 per hour but it is free from 10pm to 8am. A very minor hassle when you look at the whole picture. We enjoyed the Piano Bar two nights, and when the entertainment was over we just got on the elevator and went up to our room. The entertainment ends at midnight, so if you are an early-to-bed person, it might be annoying because you can hear the music from the room. But we enjoyed the music so much we stayed both nights till midnight (and we are in our sixties). We will be returning!

A big Thank You to the Atlantic House Inn in York Beach. We had a great weekend there, the General manager Dan was extremely helpful and very responsive.  Dave his assistant was very friendly,  helpful and professional.  Our check in was flawless, our stay was perfect. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you all.

Great weekend in York

My fiance and I stayed at The Atlantic House Inn for the first time last weekend. Check-in was supposed to be by 8PM. Around 6:00PM I received a phone call from the receptionist saying he was leaving early for the night and was leaving our key in the desk drawer for us. Please note: THIS HOTEL DOES NOT OFFER ON SITE PARKING. You must use metered parking which costs $15 per day. Being first time guests here, we found it difficult to find the main entrance. There were no signs directing guests where to go. Once we found the entrance I had to go through the receptionist's desk to find our room key which was very strange. We thought the room was nice but small for the price we paid. Our bathroom had a jacuzzi tub but was difficult to get in and out of due to the set up - the tub and shower were one piece. The bed was comfortable but felt small for being advertised as a queen. We spent a total of 2 nights and never saw someone at the reception desk. We did see housekeeping in the halls but we were not greeted by either of them. The only time we spoke to a member of the staff was when we were checking out. When we left our room on the 4th floor there was a housekeeper in the hall. We walked right past her to the elevator. Once we got to the main level we had to figure out how to check out because no one was at the desk. They had a mailbox to leave the keys. As we were reading the directions the housekeeper we walked buy on the way out of our room came down and asked if we were checking out. We ended up leaving the keys with her. We booked the hotel through booking.com, we never got an actual receipt from the hotel. We spent $259 a night and was definitely not worth the money. The only plus about the hotel was how close it was to the beach. Apparently there was free WIFI but it was non-existent, usually there is info about that in the room which there wasn't. I would not recommend this hotel. For $259 a night we had to pay to park and this hotel does not offer breakfast which was disapointing. 
Overall a disappointment.

Not worth the money

That young man that signed us in was delightful. Our room was quaint and clean. However, the promised Queen-sized bed was only a standard full- sized bed....which is much smaller. I was told that every room had a shower and some also had a jacuzzi. I clearly explained to the person making our reservation that we did not need a jacuzzi because my husband was handicapped. He reassured me that all rooms had showers. Our room had a jacuzzi plus a shower...but the shower was in the jacuzzi. So my husband was unable to take a shower for our 3 day stay. Of course the person at the front desk could not help us because she was not the owner. She reiterated that I should call the owner; however, she was unable to give us the owner's name or number. Then even though I was shown where to get ice...there was no ice bucket in the room. Our air-conditioner was so loud that we finally turned it off and opened the window.. Although we were on the 4th floor,we were kept awake until 1am by the loud music from the restaurant/bar on the second floor. When I complained the first morning, I was told that I should talk to the owner because there were many other guests that have had the same complaint "recently". Finally, we made coffee the first morning we used the two paper cups that were supplied, however, when they finally made up the room around 3 "at our request" they only half made the bed and did not supply new replacement cups. When I complained at the desk, she sighed and said that the cup order had not arrived and that the housekeeper was supposed to leave mugs. When we left we were not given a receipt for the room, When asked for one, the girl at the desk said, "We don't do that." When checking our bank account (the charges were deducted from our account for our entire stay the day we booked the hotel) our rooms for two nights cost us $444.31. Do not waste your money at this hotel. We are going back to the Union Bluff where we generally stay...a little more expensive but well worth it.,

Not what we expected!!!

We booked a last minute bicycle tour and stayed here two nights. The manager Dan was very friendly and accomodating. Our room was great. Very large for the price with a huge tub and shower and a fireplace to boot. As some reviews mentioned, the piano bar was loud, but we could not hear it at all in our room. Especially over the white noise of the air conditioner.

Great Place - especially for the price!

Very close to Short Sands Beach, close to all the small shops in York, cool restaurant on the second floor of the hotel and excellent restaurant in the nearby Bluff. The staff is friendly, welcoming but not guided. We spent a wonderful weekend at this hotel in late September early October 2017 with no doubt exceptional temperatures for the season! We flew a small condo with living room, equipped kitchen, sdb with shower and bedroom with king bed. No balcony on the 4th floor but bof though.
