Kennebunkport Inn is a great place to stay during your visit. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are well-appointed and unique. The hotel is actually quite big but feels small and cozy. It’s super convenient right in the middle of town. Access to bikes and kayaks as well as other activities through the hotel to make your stay enjoyable.

10/10! My wife and I chose to stay at Kennebunkport Inn after a lot of research on options in the area. Candidly, I was slightly nervous given some of the negative reviews around room size (people complained about the Riverhouse rooms being small) and the breakfast provided. I am also a light sleeper and was concerned it might be noisy given that it is an older building. We absolutely loved our stay. We booked a riverhouse king and the room is plenty big for two adults to navigate comfortably. Breakfast is exactly as advertised and that it is “continental” but full of great options. Our room was quiet and stylish. The staff is super friendly. The location is great. And the restaurant and bar wonderful. Don’t let any of the negative reviews scare you. This place is a gem and we will definitely return!

We spent several days at the Inn last week. It was lovely. There was a fireplace in our room. It was like a Hallmark movie. The food at the restaurant was great. Everyone is so friendly. Can’t wait to go back. Fall in Maine is magical.

The friendly staff greeted us upon our arrival and were very helpful. The location is excellent and very walkable to restaurants, shops, dessert shops, t-shirt stores, candle stores, a bridge, lobster rolls, churches, the post office, a library, and other things. The hotel restaurant and bar (Burleigh) was delicious. The rooms a quaint, nice, and clean. Fun fact - there are no phones in the rooms, which made it feel like we stepped back in time. The breakfast is, indeed, continental as promised (light on the protein). If you must have eggs and bacon, this is not the place for you. But, if you like juice, bagels, English muffins, Chobani yogurt (personal size), Danish, and cereal, you’ll be thrilled. We ate our breakfast outside each morning on the patio. It was delightful. Something unexpected, which we enjoyed, was the affiliation with other local hotels including The Lodge on the Cove, where we collected beach chairs and towels for our trip to Mother’s Beach. There they also have a pool with some games, including corn hole. We highly recommend Kennebunkport Inn!
