“charming, but...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

We have visited this resort several times. Due to your very accommodating staff, excellent cuisine and the sweet courtesy of having the snow brushed off the car on a snowy morning, we will continue to do so. We looked forward to our recent visit on 12-29 with anticipation to see the recent renovations. But it left us with one question in our minds. WHY? Why the changes? We understand and fully appreciate that you would upgrade/update the facility from time to time in terms of carpet, linens, repairs ect, but your recent renovation left us a bit confused. Though it is now refreshed and bright with the new floors, wainscoting, new furniture and wall hangings, the old colonial seaport ambiance that we find so charming seemed to be discarded along with two lovely fireplaces (including one in the pub), and the rustic furnishings that we have come to love. Some of that charm has been replaced with Asian vases and chrome bubble mirrors giving the dining room feel of a New York nouveau club. Thankfully, the guestrooms were untouched in the recent renovations and retain all of the roominess and colonial charm that we love. We would have given the Inn a 5, but something was lost with the recent renovation,

Room Tip: Ask for a fireplace.

Thank you JandK1958 for your review. We have definitely made some new and
exciting changes here at the Kennebunkport Inn this past year. I am sorry to
hear that you are not happy with the new decor. Our goal was to create a
balance of the "old" charm with the "new" style. It is important for us to
not lose the charm that keeps people coming back for years. Thank you for
your concerns as we to take all of our guests' thoughts into consideration.
We hope that the new decor will not keep you away, but attract you with the
exciting changes, such as the beautiful outdoor sundeck for catching some
rays and indulging in a cocktail and our large lobby for thumbing through
our various books or relaxing on the sofa. We would like to welcome you
back and hope you will visit us again!

“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

My husband and I along with our two kids spent one night at this Inn to take in the holiday lights and relax. We love Kennebuckport and have typically stayed at the Breakwater, but I must say that I am in love with this Inn! It is very charming and the service is EXCELLENT. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. They serve a really nice complimentary breakfast buffet in the morning and staff is very friendly and welcoming. The location is ideal as you can walk to all the major restaurants and shops. It's the little things that made this Inn unforgettable...the Christmas decorations, the excellent piano bar enterainment, the staff and top notch service. We loved it so much we will be back this coming summer for a longer stay and also enjoy the beach. The only thing I wish this Inn had was a pool which is great for the summer. Other than that, I can't think of one thing that is missing. If you stay here, it will be an unforgettable experience.

“Best getaway ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

Spent two days at the Kennebunkport Inn, over Thanksgiving, and quite frankly had the best time ever! Great weather, accommodations, shopping, and meals. The staff was great at the Kennebunkport Inn, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. We definitely plan to go back again next year!

“The Kennebunkport Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

We stayed here in September for a couple of days and had a very enjoyable stay. The inn has a very welcoming, homely atmosphere and the staff were lovely. We were in the main building, which was more convenient than the annexe
The room we had was really large and well furnished. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and we couldn't fault it. The continental breakfast was very enjoyable and the cooked food was just fantastic. The dinner menu was very excellent and the meals were absolutely delicious.This Inn is well worth a visit. It is well placed in the resort, and the food alone makes it worth the stay.

Room Tip: Try to get a room in the main building, as the annexe could be awkward in wet weather.

“Lovely looking hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We only stayed for one night. Our room overlooked the decked area, which made it a bit noisy, but we enjoyed our stay and wished it had been for a bit longer, because we didn't get much of a chance to look round the town.

Room Tip: Ask for a room not overlooking the decking area.

Thank you HAEJJAP for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us albeit short. Our sundeck with the outdoor fireplace is new this year. I apologize that it was a bit noisy for you. We are looking into ways to manage this, as we want all of our guests to have a peaceful and comfortable stay while with us. We hope we can welcome you back for a longer stay and you are able to experience more of what our great little town has to offer.
