I liked the fact that they had a hot tub and I loved the firepit area after a long day of traveling. I also liked the citrus water available in the lobby. However, if you're not in the main house, be prepared for some wear and tear if you're staying in one of the surrounding buildings. The location of the hotel is great in terms of walking to the Marginal Way/Perkins Cove. It was good for a one-night stay.

Ogunquit

Great views of the ocean from our room. The property had a friendly and helpful staff. The room was nicely remodeled. You could tell that the property had recent renovation. Access required climbing a steep set of stairs - no ramp to the main entrance and check in desk, which would have been helpful when arriving with bags.

Another Great Stay

A great value for a hotel with breakfast in Ogunquit. Close to town and Perkins Cove, so no need to drive anywhere. Small pool also. Nice lobby and a big front porch. We have stayed here many times and find it fine for us.

Jessica the office manager was delightful. She made us feel at home and played a funny trick on me. She as a joke had a stack of pretend dollar bills when I asked as a joke for $10,000 in unmarked bills when the hotel asked if there was anything we wanted upon our arrival. They had music in the lobby and there were couple playing cards. What a very nice place that felt like home. We loved our stay in Ogunquit, and the Colonial Inn and Jessica had a lot to do with it. Thank you!
Jessica one of our gracious hosts.

Unfortunately i wasn't told our room was not located in the main building, but in the adjacent building that lacked any charm.

The Colonial Inn is an older historic building, but well maintained and wonderful staff. It was clean and quiet. Easy walk to shopping and restaurants AND the access to the Marginal Way is steps away. Bonus-freshly baked chocolate chip cookies daily between 2 and 4. Coffee always available and during daytime hours infused water. Would definitely stay there again.
