This beautiful historic hotel was the perfect stay. We felt like we were back in time. The pool was the perfect temperature, the drinks were fantastic, the grounds were beautiful, and the ocean view amazing. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was delicious. I hated to leave.

We did not have air conditioning but we were promised a ceiling fan, which our room did not have. The bathroom had a small pedestal sink with no room to put a toothbrush and other bathroom essentials. The bed was lumpy; not comfortable at all. On a positive note, the complimentary breakfast was delicious, and it goes without saying that the location and views are second to none

Great place to stay
We were very pleasantly surprised when we were assigned a room in the 700 building. It was brand new & very well appointed. The hallways were bright, the rooms had a/c & a huge television. The building was across the street from the main hotel, which was no inconvenience at all. We appreciated being away from the hubbub at the main hotel & yet a 2 minute walk brought us to everything we needed.

Beautiful Resort, Loud Room
The resort is wonderful. We enjoyed the pool and the gorgeous view of the ocean. However, our room was just down the hall from the bar and in-between two public restrooms. We had drunken wedding guests outside our door for hours - well after the bar closed at 11pm. Room 449 should not be a guest room.

I thought the staff was unwilling to assist, building had no ac and when i tried to switch to a room with ac the same size they wanted almost $150 more an i was giving up a ocean view room. also i was unhappy with the pool closing at dusk or roughly 8 pm.. hot days an hot room an couldnt even cool off in pool.. lastly there is only one ice machine with over a hundred guests.. had to search to find ice an had to walk in another building upstairs to find it..also at breakfast they would asign you tables to sit an when you go to get food your table was taken by other people.very unhappy with place. would recommend other hotels on ocean ave..

Was our one year anniversary and our first trip to Kennebunkport together. We had a premier king room with a balcony and Ocean view located on the second floor. The room was spacious with a huge terrace facing the ocean, the lawn and the swimming pool and a nice bathroom. The decor of the room was in questionable taste, but not bad, The lack of Air Conditioning was some thing that I would question and staying here again, as was the fact that the bathroom window opened onto the terrace of the neighboring room, so there was absolutely no privacy in that regard. I had ordered chocolate dipped strawberries to be delivered to my room For my partner and I upon arrival and paid for them or at least had them billed to the room, in advance and they were not delivered and we’re still on the bill. PROS: large room, fab view and huge terrace; nice pool, easy area to navigate- 5 minute bike ride to town; the included breakfast was AMAZING! Easily would have cost $35-40 per person if i ws paying for it; CONS: anniversary amenity i purchased never delivered; bathroom window opened directly onto Balcony of the room next-door; The room decor could use some rethinking- Perhaps the mismatched furniture would have more charm if everything was painted white, instead of the rainbow colors- It had a very child vibe instead of charm to it; no chair service at the pool; the on-site bike rental was overpriced

This hotel is tired and worn. Lovely scenic view and classic lobby, thats where it ends. Room was old and had funky smell. There is no air conditioning or tv in room but they do provide a fan. The bed was the worst I’ve slept on. Hard and extremely uncomfortable. We had 2 lamps with blown out lightbulbs, one of our keys did not fit the door lock and they only provided 2 bath towels. The carpeted stairs were so dirty and clearly not vacuumed for weeks. The veranda had a lovely view of ocean but the grounds in need of serious up keep. They provide a free breakfast buffet with stale pastries and cold scrambled eggs. Rather pay for a quality meal. The pool was pretty but dirty and had all kinds of sand and debris. The pool rest/bar also needing serious tlc. The outside tables littered underneath with old food/condiment packages. Not a place I would have even considered. If the visible guest areas look like this I can only imagine behind the scenes. Needless to say we checked out at scheduled 11am time and extended our getaway at another property. So many better options. For $500 a night we expected a lot more. Do your research before choosing this property.
