Make a donation, get a discount at inn

Guests at the Beachmere Inn in Ogunquit, Maine, can get a deal during May. The seaside resort is offer-ing a 50-per-cent discount on certain oceanview (mid-level) rooms, if you donate $35 to Habitat for Human-ity in Maine. The rate is valid May 2 to 26, with the best availability from Sunday to Thursday. If you upgrade to a luxury king-bed suite with a full oceanview, you’ll pay $35 more than the 50-per-cent rate. Beachmere is one of the few properties in Ogunquit that has direct access to sand and sea. It has an unusual layout: 73 ho-tel units in six buildings that range from a historic cot-tage to a modern hotel wing, all in a tranquil residen-tial area of one of Maine’s busiest tourist towns. The hotel has a kitchenette in every room, a small spa and a pub.

Until June 9, regular room rates range from $90 to ❚$255 U.S. per night for two, which includes continental breakfast. Call 1-800-336-3983 or see www.beachmereinn.com.
