Pets ~ Sea Chambers is not a pet friendly hotel*. Service dogs trained to assist a person with a disability are welcome, and must be registered with our Front Desk staff upon check-in. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort, emotional support or companionship do not qualify as service dogs with public accommodation under federal or Maine state law, and are not allowed at Sea Chambers. Service dogs must be under handler’s control at all times and may not be left in the rooms alone. Guests who disregard our policy will be required to leave immediately without refund, and will be charged an additional $250 cleaning fee plus the cost of one night’s rental.

If guests are disturbed while the Front Desk office is closed, guests should contact our Night Manager and allow us to address the situation.

We also have phones at each building so that you will be able to reach us if you are locked out of your room during the night. You may find one outside our Front Desk office, one in the Guest Lobby of our Oceanside Building, and one on the first floor of the Inn Building.
