The Kennebunk Inn

So happy the Inn is open for business again! We are locals and have been watching the Inn do updates and a lovely transformation. The new owners have added some beautiful new rooms on the first floor which are so nice! The pub is quaint and has a tasty local menu. Open for lunch and all afternoon through dinner. We had amazing haddock chowder today! Adrien, the cook and bartender, made us delightful drinks which we enjoyed on their outdoor patio. It gets sun from noon to 6pm! We added on nachos with homemade corn chips and fresh pico. They were layered , so no chip was bare, but they were delicately done with the cheese plentiful but not globbed on! So perfect ! We savored every bite! So glad the Inn is open again! You won’t be disappointed with the pub fare and we might just have to get a room just for tbe fun of staying in town one night!

Great old charming place to stay. We enjoy our stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location within walking distance to coffee, shops, and restaurants. Reminds me of exactly what you think of when you think of Maine. Clean and spacious.

Love this unpretentious old hotel. Clean and tidy. Comfy beds. The minimal staff are very friendly and helpful. Beauty on a budget! The area has a lot to offer. The Rachel Carson Refuge is only a few minutes away. She an ardent environmentalist from the 1950's and 60's.

This was a cute and great location for our time in the Kennebunk/Kennebunkport area! The location was a great sport that was close enough to the Port but far enough to not feel overcrowded. We were greeted with cookies and hot cocoa being offered. The staff was friendly and was willing to help navigate the Port area with parking, dinning, and other activities. The staff was upfront that this is an older Inn and that to be aware of some things (noises, showers taking awhile to warm up). The noises were rather loud at times, but the rooms were put together nicely and offered space for everyone in our party.

We spent the weekend at the hotel with two other couples. It is a lovely hotel with rocking chairs on the front porch, a bar (and restaurant), and a quiet back patio. The location is great and we were able to talk to a few breakfast spots as well as a great restaurant across the street. The hotel had cookies in the afternoon, but the big hit was sipping a drink on the front porch. I want to call our the staff who were lovely and very accommodating. My only ask would be to 'upscale' the mattress and pillows.

The Inn is definitely “old world charm”; however it needs major upgrades! The town is very cute to take in - ( great restaurant directly across street) - especially with the front porch rocking chairs. Just like visiting Grandma’s house 50 years ago.

Just lovely! In our case we were on a major budget but also needed to get out of town as a family and took advantage of off-season Maine. We booked the Inn before I read some of the reviews here and I cringed! However, we are so pleasantly surprised! We checked in during check-in hours and were greeted by a friendly clerk. He immediately answered my 12yo’s questions about their ghost story with good humor. Our room is clean and perfect for our needs (2 room queen suite ). It isn’t huge but it gives our family space. Is it old? Yes, but you know it’s historic when you book. Is it “understaffed”? In comparison to their chain competitors, maybe. We’re Hilton diamond members and i have seen much worse at chains. But it is a homey feel and a lovely stay. If you want a uniform stay, there are plenty of big names in the area. But if you want to explore downtown and the coast line, this is a lovely, affordable, family friendly hotel. Well done!

Based on other reviews I thought this inn would be a great location and charming. Unfortunately when we arrived the entire place smelled like moth balls. We entered our room to find a King bed that looked as if it had a pull out mattress on it and felt that way as well. We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon and the local wine bar was closed and there were not any restaurants close by besides in the inn that were open or had a decent menu. It was like a ghost town in the middle of July. We could not find an uber or a lyft in the area to take us to the Boat House Restaurant which was 15 minutes away. On a positive note the young lady at the front desk was very sweet. It wasn't her fault the place was less than desirable. We literally brought our stuff in, went to dinner and drove back to RI that night. 10 out of 10 definitely do not recommend!

This is the first review I have ever written in all the places I've stayed thru booking. Do not stay here unless you want terrible customer service and a terrible nights sleep. Pay more for a better Inn. There is not enough staff. I tried calling throughout the day before we got there and was continually put thru to an answering service. They sent a text for any concerns and did not reply to it. After getting there late, our room was hot with a very LOUD air conditioner window unit. It made a terrible buzzing sound. My children were trying to find outlets to charge their electronics and all did not hold the plug..they fell out..this is a fire hazard! The bathroom door would not latch. We decided to leave as we did not want to be up all night with the air conditioner buzzing on and off and barely giving off air...it was on its last leg. The staff member was new and didn't know what to do with my concerns and could not reach the inn keeper (said the reception was bad). I tried to work with the manager two days later 9 they were not interested in resolving) to get a partial refund. They refused. The Inn is old and creaky..not why we left, but keep this in mind.. you can hear everything and the person in the room next to you as well. We do not recommend!
