I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy, the staff was very friendly, and the location was superb, just a short walk from downtown Kennebunkport. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a great value for money.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although large and equipped with good amenities, had very dirty windows that hindered the beautiful view of the bay. The service was helpful and pleasant, especially when requesting information, but the room placement on the third floor of a walk-up building was a bit challenging for a mother with a two-year-old. The location was nice for walking to downtown, but the style of the building could be slippery when wet. The dining options were varied with a full-service bar and a spa, but the quality was just average. Overall, the hotel offers comfort and convenience, though improvements could be made in certain areas.
