The receptionist was very pleasant. The room was ok. We could only get the "water view" if we stood against the side wall and looked out past the chimney. The bathroom was extremely noisy (loud pipes and spongy creaky floor) and the exhaust fan didn't seem to work. I also found the main living room area to not be very "usable". The massive couches were not comfortable for sitting and reading, and the "tv fireplace" was just kind of a bummer.

What a gem! It’s like going back in time to a high end Inn. The rooms were lovely! We played cards in the cozy dining room and the night attendant gave us wine glasses. The sound of the crashing waves made it so romantic and glamorous! Loved loved it

Cynthia at the front desk was amazing! A beautiful inn with a just as beautiful view! Parking on site was super convenient and was a secure lot. Not too far at all from the main square area (Dock Square) that has all of the shopping and restaurant variety you would need. I would 100% stay here again and would recommend this inn to anyone!

Noisy and uncomfortable.

The room we were given was really worn and outdated. It was so small we couldn’t open our suitcases anywhere, not even on the floor. The bathroom was old and outdated and everything was SO noisy, the toilets flushing and the doors closing in other rooms and the elevator and stairs which were right outside our door. Bed was small and uncomfortable. The best thing about this place was the view when we walked outside of the Atlantic Ocean.

Excellent location, close to beach and only a 5 minute car ride To Kennebunkport. Free parking and bike usage was great. Latte / Cappuccino machine was hard to use and staff was not interested in helping. No breakfast was disappointing as was the lack of front desk personnel friendliness. They weren’t rude just were typical Maine I guess.

Mattress and pillow very squishy/saggy and need replaced, window sills and windows very dusty, no ocean view, people above us were moving their furniture, dragging across the wooden floor to the point that it was concerning!! Tip envelopes and magazines were water logged. Parking area was private, view from living room was ocean view, linens were fresh, furniture very miss matched. Nice tea and coffee area
