The facility has a number of lodging buildings. My disappointment was that I was expecting to stay in the inn and ended up in a modern building that was more like a motel. So if you are expecting to say at the inn, you should clarify this with the inn before booking.

Great Location and quiet rooms!

I decided to do an overnight in Ogunquit, and Colonial Inn was recommended. Wasn't sure what I'd be getting but I was pleasantly surprised! The room in the main building was very quiet and spacious. Great, clean, roomy modern bathroom. This Inn is in a perfect location - everything is walkable! And I love the "campus" feel of the property - I had a friend staying in another building and it was nice to walk through the grounds to get to their room. Highly recommend.

Peaceful couple of days

Visiting Ogunquit in April can be chilly or just right. Our stay at The Colonial Inn was just right. Quiet with a comfy bed and adequate continental breakfast. The only issues we had were the elevator not working and we were on the top floor, and no additional beverages available on site except coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages. We survived and relaxed.
