Charming hotel
Nice hotel, rooms are found in 2 different building - main hotel building is nicer than outbuilding. Rooms outdated but functional and comfortable bed. Very good location in the center of Kennebunkport.

We were there in the off season and didn't really take advantage of all the hotel had to offer but would love to come back and do that. The rooms were nice, the property was beautiful and it was convenient to everything.

This hotel is a gem! We were greeted by the most welcoming and polite reception host. She assigned us a lovely room and guided us to hot spots in the area. The hotel is very clean. The restaurant offers delicious food and a variety of drinks. Not to mention great service by everyone. Will definitely return!
