Logistics

Our meetings will convene at the Harpswell Bed and Breakfast Inn, however there are only 10 total rooms available at this location. If you would like to stay at this Inn then call 207-833-5509 to make reservations (must be done this far in advance by phone rather than on the Inn’s website). Reservations at this Inn will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so call right away after registering for NECS.

Fortunately, there are many excellent hotels and inns available for you in nearby Brunswick (20 minutes away), historic Bath (25 minutes), Freeport (home of LL Bean and first outlet stores in America–30 minutes) and Portland (1 hour away). In Brunswick there is the Brunswick Hotel and Brunswick Inn). The standard Comfort Inn and Best Western Inn are available in Brunswick. Marriot-based hotels are to be found in both Brunswick (Fairfield) and Bath. A Hilton member hotel (Garden Inn) can be booked in Freeport and many hotels are to be found in Portland. Breakfasts are provided by most of the hotels.

There are many transportation options, ranging from driving to Maine to taking an East Coast train to Boston and transferring to Portland (and even to Brunswick). Airplane flights can be booked to Boston (with bus, train or rental car to Portland and Brunswick) or to the Portland Maine Airport. We will assist with coordination of transportation from Portland to Brunswick, as well as with transportation from the non-Brunswick hotels to Brunswick and with transportation of all attendees to the Harpswell Inn.
