Fridge & microwave in the room are so handy and what a wonderful view from our balcony! The staff was very accommodating with recommendations to local restaurants and Muriel our housekeeper and Katy the GM were very friendly... More

My wife and I have been going to the Lafayette Oceanfront Resort for some time now. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent renovations of the rooms/stairways and elevator installation. We always stay at the Annex because of the wonderful view of the ocean on the 2nd floor and the great rooms. We also appreciate Lafayette's access to shopping/restaurant and... More

My room was literally overlooking the waves on Wells beach, as well as the car park below. (Why would anyone put a car park on their most valuable real estate?) Nonetheless, if you want the1960's old style hotel, with the panelled walls and retro lights, this is the place. The hotel does have decent wi-fi access even out on the... More

We have been going to Lafayettes for at least the last 17 years, and it is the only way to go to Maine as far as we are concerned. This last visit was no exception. They're redoing some rooms and even adding a welcomed elevator to the annex, which is where we love to stay. The new bedding was very... More

My best friend and I took a 4 hour drive to get out of Upstate NY, staying at the Lafayette, after finding it online. Found the room to be a little outdated, but ocean front, and comfortable. We labeled it 'grandmas house', somewhere we liked being and had everything we needed. We ended up taking my kids back for a... More

The Lafayette is a great hotel. Our family goes every year for at least the past 20 years. My 8 year old loves the pool and the room we stay in is oceanfront and has a beautiful view. Tons of wonderful restaurants around. The rooms are very clean and up to date.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Lafayette's Oceanfront Resort is directly on Wells Beach, one of the largest sandy beaches in Maine. We have a complex of nine different buildings, five of which sit right on the beach. Many of our rooms have private balconies with panoramic views of the ocean. We are open year round so you do not need to miss any season. Although summer is certainly the most popular season in Maine, the beauty of this coastal area is enchanting throughout the year. Wells Beach is fun for families. Walk from your room onto the sand to swim, build sand castles, stroll in the surf looking for shells and rocks or just relax and enjoy the feel of the sun on your face while you enjoy the view. The indoor pool and the hot tub with a waterfall are very relaxing after a hot day in the sun. The playground and the arcade will entertain the children after the beach. ... more   less
