We have visited over the last three weekends and stayed at the Cove side, we love the new rooms. We also got to know some of your staff Sandy down at the restaurant is great very personable. I apologize. I don’t know the boy that works at the pools name,but he is also very welcoming when we come for a visit. I don’t Have much negativity about the property, but the only thing I would say is that I wish at the cold side they would put numbers outside the building, reflecting where these rooms are located and when booking on the Internet informed people which rooms were occupied by pets I have a pet myself, and I don’t have a problem with that but my daughter had stage one week with us in a different room and was not told that there were pets in that room previously and she has allergies. Again, I love this property and we will continue to stay there

Absolutely beautiful hotel and great staff. However, the housekeepers were very loud right under our window , it was pretty noisy all the way around. Lots of door slamming everywhere etc. The hotel is not air conditioned, but there was a lovely breeze through the entire hotel. You really can’t beat the views and the beautiful lobby with open doors and windows overlooking the ocean. Our friends stayed at the Breakers Next-door for the same price and there was no comparison. The Breakers was a little rundown. I would definitely go back!

A let down
We were a little disappointed that we weren't able to check in even a little bit Early. The reservation was made in February so we were surprised when the room was not up to the standard we had experienced in other years. Since we knew there's no AC we were given a room with only 1window. They were able to give us a different room but we had to complain. We asked during the initial reservation that we get a refrigerator and yet we had to ask several times before we got one. The restaurant took the signature salad off the menu. The breakfast used to have real coffee cups and now had only paper. For the cost , the hotel was a disappointment.

The only downside is they didn’t have cable and you could only use your own streaming. Also wish they had more than one place to dine on the premises. The breakfast could use improvement.

I should have paid more attention to the room details. There was no air-conditioning and no television in the room. Our ocean view room was more like an ocean 'peak' room.

Be careful when booking this property! She is a beautiful old gal with a gorgeous ocean view from the back but a “garden room” can mean you are facing the noisy parking lot near a busy door with noise throughout the night and no garden view just cars. Lights through your windows all night long (which you need to leave open because there is no a/c). It would be better to sleep on the floor than the mattress. It’s rock hard! Brought these issues up at the front desk when departing and received a polite “thank you for telling me.” Love the location, but at $425/night for “garden view” king I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Amazing gem of a hotel in Kennebunkport!
The Colony Hotel is a true gem in Kennebunkport! We were warmly greeted at the front desk by ET, whose customer service was outstanding. This is my 2 nd time staying here, and yet I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the lobby, with its gorgeous view of the ocean. I truly adore this beautiful property!
