Union Bluff Hotel

With its stumpy turrets, dormers, and prominent porches, the Union Bluff has the look of an old-fashioned, 19th-century beach hotel; it's a surprise to learn it was only built in 1989. Inside, the hotel is a generic-modern building; rooms have oak furniture, wall-to-wall carpeting, and small refrigerators. Step outside and you're 10 seconds from the Short Sands beach, downtown T-shirt and shell shops, and bowling alley and game arcade (great for kids). There are also about 20 rooms in a motel annex next door, but stick with the main inn for the prime rooms and views; the best units are the suites on the top floor, which have beach vistas (and some have Jacuzzis or fireplaces). There's also a simple wood-paneled lounge and a restaurant on site. It's amazing how low the rates plummet here mid-week and off-season, when the hotel becomes among the most inexpensive places to stay in all of southern Maine. Also remember that parking is pretty tight on this hotel's little street; RVers will need to park their rigs in the public pay lot adjacent.
