Kennebunkport Inn

I LOVE this place! It is the perfect location, just a walk across the street to all the shops and town center. I love the beautiful modern décor of the Inn. I wish I could hire the decorator myself. They also are reasonably priced, especially if you hit it right and book during a flash sale (hello April fools sale! — get on their email list.) It is also so nice they have bikes and beach chairs to borrow and that you can use their sister hotels pools. Finally, you get a goody bag with lobster gummies upon check out. How cute is that?! Hands down my favorite hotel in all of Kennebunkport!

Stayed here for my father’s 80^th. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had a great time dining in the Tavern, and having drinks before and after dinner. We all enjoyed our rooms, and the great location in town. Would definitely return.

Room was very nice. Restaurant was brutal. Too many rules… sit here and get this menu, site here and get that menu. Well they messed us up and we ended up in the right room with the wrong menu. Ease up on the rules and it would be a far easier choice to dine.

I can’t say enough about Kennebunkport Inn. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the Inn was beautiful, and in a perfect downtown location. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Kennebunkport getaway.

Good amenities. Adult only pool is actually at the old fort inn so don’t go to the cape arundel inn because reception is rude. Checked out the pool at lodge on the cove which was swarming with little screaming kids. Drinks were good and games were fun but couldn’t stay long otherwise I’d get a headache. Beach cruisers and parking is easy. Our last night here though, they shut off the cable and didn’t inform us that prior to our stay. They blamed it on the service although the night before our service was perfectly fine. I’m pretty easy going but when I’m exhausted from a long bike ride and just want a lazy night in my ~200/​night room (off season)… I’d like to watch anything I want… Anyways. Free breakfast is decent. No proteins so don’t expect any eggs or meat although they do have little packets of peanut. Overall I might come back for the location but I know there are several other options around.

Our stay at Kennebunkport Inn was fantastic and I’m glad we made this choice.
The first thing to mention about this inn is the location. It is located right in the heart of everything in Kennebunkport. All the nice shops, restaurants, and meeting points are easily within walking distance. It’s perfect.
Having a place to leave my car in the center of town is incredible, however the parking lot isn’t the best. You can’t expect a sprawling lot with a location like this, but if the hotel is fully booked then there is a car for every spot. One bad parking job and you’re out of luck. Thankfully we only lost the game of musical chairs once during our stay. The staff seem willing to help if that happens.
The room was very nice. It was small but perfectly serviceable. The bathroom was large and had a large shower with room for two. Everything was nice and clean. The air conditioner was a wall unit so it makes some noise. The property was very nicely decorated and well kept. Our room was painted in a deep chocolate color.
The staff at the front desk were able to provide us with beach towels, folding chairs, and a beach permit to use. We took advantage and had an enjoyable beach day. They also have bicycles available, which is something we were looking for.
In addition to being right next to several restaurants and cafes, the inn hosts a restaurant. We didn’t eat there, but everyone we spoke to raved about the food. There is also a full bar, but it closes at around 9:30. There is no night life in Kennebunkport. However they do feature a beautiful deck with comfy chairs, some tables, and a fire place. It’s a great place to relax at night and maybe chat with other guests.
They offer a complimentary continental breakfast at the bar in the morning. I found it to be underwhelming at best. My experience from overhearing other guests is that they either leave hungry and go out to breakfast, or skip it completely after the first day. It was toast, English muffins, and mini-​bagels with no cream cheese. There were some hand fruits in a bowl, some yogurt, and scones. They had coffee and juice. It’s obviously better than nothing, but I usually expect more from this kind of inn. Honestly, I would prefer to pay $ 8.99 for a more complete buffet. There is a french bakery two blocks away and an organic-​looking café literally a few steps to the left from the front door. Try those instead.
Overall I definitely recommend the Kennebunkport Inn and I will probably be going back in the future.

Our recent stay was perfect. Great location, small but well done rooms. The front staff (Michael) was great in advising us things to do and restaurants. Would come back for sure.

Had wonderful stay. The inn is comfortable and a bit quaint. Downtown location is convenient for shopping and dining. The bar seemed to be the local gathering spot and local musicians encouraged those so inclined to jump in. The whole place radiated the cheerful energy coming from the bar. The music shut down about 9:30 (week night) so it didn’t interfere with a good nights rest. Breakfast was the standard muffins and fruit, which was just fine since one tends to overeat on vacation anyway. Will stay again on our next visit.

Perfect location. Right in the heart of downtown Kennebunkport within easy walking distance to all the charming shops and yummy restaurants.
Our room was large and well decorated with classic nautical colors. This combined with the plentiful water views the just shouted Maine coastal comfort to us. Amenities included: complimentary bottled water, in room coffee, and a nice chair for reading. The bed was very comfortable and we slept the night through, with no noisy disturbances. The staff were friendly and helpful, as a bonus there was a nice restaurant with bar right on premise. What more could you ask for.

Another great stay at the Kennebunkport Inn, the people that work there are so kind and accommodating. We love staying there because of the accessibility to shops and restaurants. We will be back!

We arrived after check in time (8pm) & found our way to our room… which was extremely roomy, clean, included crisp décor, a king size bed, and a gas fire place. The location is perfect– it’s right in the center of downtown. (Side note: Google maps told us it was in the middle of the harbor, which is just outside.)
Searching for the icemaker brought back thoughts of… The Shining… long corridors… AND entailed going outside. Seriously! Otherwise, the staff was really helpful, & we’d definitely come back!

My husband found about this Inn online and booked a room to celebrate our anniversary. I was both impressed and disappointed at the same time.
The pros:
The staff is friendly — we were greeted promptly and the desk clerk was pleasant. The lobby is quaint with a red-​white & blue theme that was freshly done
The place is very clean and the room was quite clean
The location is nice — being in the heart of the village and the village is quaint and lovely
The cons:
The room (224) was the smallest room I ever stayed in. Ecconolodge has bigger rooms– not exaggerating. There were two built-​ins on either side of the bed yet neither had a full closet. Hanging my coat in one and it still was dragging on the bottom of it. Forget hanging a dress or a pair of pants in it. It wouldn’t work.
Further there was no space in which to put your luggage away– leaving you with no choice but to have it taking up space in an already small space. The room was about 13×13 max. It was enough room for the queen bed and a chair. But not my suitcase.
We went off season– February. And the max temperature in the room was 68 and that is after we asked the staff to do something about it. Before that it was 65. The bathroom floor was so cold we had to lay towels over it. I think I came down with a cold because of the coldness of the place. I left with a sore throat and feeling chilled to the bone. The only time I was warm during my stay was when I was in my vehicle.
We ate at the restaurant. DO NOT DO THIS!!! We chose the rib eye steak. It was a half inch thick frozen charbroiled and over salted. The sides I chose were the creamed corn (was more like corn chowder) and the potatoes au gratin. Both were cold and the potatoes were not cooked. The fact that they charged $ 30 for this steak was like being robbed without a gun. You can find a better steak at a franchise restaurant. There were two other couples there besides us so I can’t say that it was because they were busy.
Like I said impressed and disappointed. I would not recommend this Inn nor would I stay here again.

Had a great 2 day stay here. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean and well-​kept.
Our room was very nice with a super nice bathroom. This place has great amenities for Kennebunkport with a beach pass, free bikes, beach towels and chairs!
One of the best parts about this Inn is the location, you are right by some of the best restaurants in KBP.
So nice, I will definitely be visiting again.

We got a great deal on this place, because we went in the off season for a three day weekend. Apparently it can get to about 500/​a night during the high season. we paid about 95. The staff was exceptionally friendly, besides the bartenders. The bartenders were a bit curt and the bar was not fully stocked by any means. The cocktails were watered down but still tasty.
We stayed in room 103. there was an issue with the bathroom’s cleanliness when we first checked in. My boyfriend spoke to the front desk and they were extremely apologetic and offered us a free drink. The breakfast was «continental deluxe», it was very good and the morning staff was very kind.
Overall a nice place to stay.

Kennebunkport Inn is perfectly located. Seriously. Right in the thick of it and in walking distance to everything. Parking right on the premises, bicycles available for use, gorgeous décor with Ralph Lauren wallpapers, crisp coastal accents and amazing attention to detail.
We stayed in Room 238. The room décor seemed to have been lightly updated during the renovation 2 years ago. New wallpaper, coordinating window treatments, a Keurig machine and iPod dock alarm clock. Sadly, our bathroom seemed to have been forgotten during the updates… pink walls, ivy stenciled border, wall trim in rough shape.
The continental breakfast is decent, with cereals, scrambled eggs, muffins, coffee, fruit. Upon checkout we were even given a little package with waters and saltwater taffy for our trip home.
Overall, I was delighted by the Inn and any faults of the room were merely cosmetic and were made up for by the quality of the communal spaces. That fireplace on the back deck was great! The staff were very friendly and they had even accommodated my husband when he wanted to arrange to have flowers in our room when we arrived.

I stayed here for a night recently and it was a a fairly good experience.
The pros:
— Right in downtown Kennebunkport! Steps to shops and restaurants.
— Friendly service
— Parking included and convenient
— Open, bright room (we were in a Wharf room)
The cons:
— Our simple room was pretty expensive ($ 250 during the high season)
— There was a strange smell in our building hallway, maybe mildewy carpets
The included breakfast was nothing special, just the typical buffet with bagels, hash browns, sausage, granola, coffee, etc. but it’s nice to have available so you can start the day with food in your belly.
I’m on the fence on whether or not I’ll come here again. $ 250 is a lot to spend on a basic room in a funky smelling building. At least the room itself didn’t smell. It might be worth it when it isn’t high-​season and the prices are lower.

Cute little inn right in the heart of Kennebunkport. The room was comfy and clean. It wasn’t over the top with amenities and the bathroom was tiny, but I liked it and would visit here again.

This inn is in center of everything. Convenient location. Rooms are clean and free wifi and breakfast. The drawback was at 6:30am we were woken up by delivery trucks and construction. We stayed in the building extension beside the candyman and coffee shops.

My lack of desire to leave a poetic review of this inn is indicative of the impression it left on me.
It was ok, service was friendly but nothing like you’d get at a B&B. Price of $ 159/​night was reasonable but the rooms were tired, beds very old and the whole room creaky.
Quaint and great location to the rest of town but parking was tough and the overall stay was just OK.

The Kennebunkport Inn offered a mixed experience. I almost feel like writing two reviews for two different experiences.
First, the hotel and its location are really charming, but its hard to go wrong in that department with a beautiful old hotel on the water in a port town.
We stayed in KB for five nights total at two separate times. Our first visit, we stayed on the first floor in room 222, which faced a very small courtyard/​small backyard in the back. The room was kind of worn, threadbare and more than a little dated (in an 80’s plaids and florals kinda way), but I appreciate that it is an expensive town and you take what you can get. It was also very small and the bed wasn’t the greatest. All this I could have overlooked because it was otherwise clean and the amenities are solid. However… the courtyard that we faced was behind the pool, and they were doing some work on the pool deck so the courtyard was strewn with work equipment… wheelbarrows, tools, buckets, boards, bricks and plastic tarps. It was really, really ghetto.
So when we left and they asked how our stay was, we were honest. (I don’t know that we used the word «ghetto» …but we got our point across.)
So we came back the next week and were put in room 227.
This room was considerably larger, more tastefully decorated (or at least solidly victorian), unworn, with hardwood floors and a lovely view of the port. Very comfortable, supportive bed with a pillowtop. I imagine we got an upgrade in terms of the level of room (we had ordered the cheapest) due to our complaints. We also got two free drinks at the bar, and (did I mention?) this town isn’t cheap, so that was like $ 15. So-​they certainly made up for the courtyard the first time around.
So– the rest of the place. The breakfast buffet was just fine… I would have liked more high-​protein non-​meat options… but I know I’m being picky there. We didn’t eat in the restaurant for dinner. The bar was very cool… very vintage with wood paneling and high-​backed seats. Saturday nights are a treat at the bar… a local woman does live piano and showtunes and she is NOT to be missed. .
I also didn’t have the experience of most of the guests being over 70… over 40, perhaps. Maybe its the time of year. There were a fair number of older guests but hey, this is the Walker family town. You can expect some crusty conservatives here.
Our first experience was a 2. Our second was a four. So– three stars.
