Allow me, dear readers, to embark on an exploration of the good, the better, and the could-be-better aspects of the Garden Court Kings Beach in lovely Cape Elizabeth. This is no tale of monumental wonder or extraordinary dismay; rather, it's a story of decent comfort with a side order of everyday convenience. Let's commence with an often underappreciated but crucial feature of any respectable lodging establishment – the vending machines in the lobby. Ah, the unsung heroes of the wee hours, ever ready to satiate your midnight munchies or quench your thirst. This humble amenity at the Garden Court Kings Beach stands out, not for the variety of snacks it dispenses, but more for what it doesn't. Among the cornucopia of late-night nibbles, one may find no...ahem... personal safety products of the latex kind. Remember, folks, always travel prepared! Slumber at this establishment proved to be quite the comfort. The bed, a fluffy cloud of tranquility, became the backdrop of nocturnal reveries. The enchanting damsel who checked us in morphed into a dreamland siren in the ethereal realm of my subconscious. All while the good lady wife, unknowingly, played a rather active role in these slumbers. A word to the wise – the beds here might just be a little too comfortable! The surroundings of the Garden Court Kings Beach, however, offer up a juxtaposition of delight and trepidation. Just a stone's throw away resides an oasis of fast-food paradise, the golden arches of a 24-hour McDonald's. A beacon of deep-fried joy, this round-the-clock gastronomic haven is the holy grail for nocturnal snack seekers. And yet, folks, I must admit to a hint of unease that mars the appeal of this otherwise tantalizing prospect. Venturing forth into the night for a Big Mac and fries seemed a bit daunting, an adventure best reserved for the brave-hearted. My taste buds yearned for a midnight McFlurry, but the heart, oh the heart, it fluttered like a frightened bird. Perhaps, dear readers, you possess a more valiant disposition to tackle these twilight quests. So, to round off this middling tale of accommodation appraisal, Garden Court Kings Beach presents a competent offering of comfort and convenience. A destination that wraps you in decent comfort, serves up 24-hour fast-food access (albeit with a side of night-time nerves), and a rather surprising vending machine inventory. It is good – perhaps not a resounding 'marvelous' but an affirming 'good' nonetheless. Whether that's enough to float your boat, well, that's a decision only you can make.…
