A charming old inn at the top of Kennebunk. Great location with a breakfast spot just behind them, which is a favorite to the locals. Also fun to stop and watch pickle ball next door!

The room was spacious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the historic feel of the inn and its main street location. There was a Keurig coffee machine in the room but would have liked to have some coffee supplied to make coffee in the room.

The room was very cozy. We loved the location and the staff was very friendly and helpful when it came to local recommendations. The staff would also always provide us with fresh towels delivered to our door even when we did not need them to come clean the room. The tavern was also very yummy and the bartender was very very nice!

We had a wonderful stay at the Kennebunk Inn. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hotel has a lot of historic charm, being a very old property, and it is absolutely beautiful. The character and atmosphere make it a unique place to stay and really add to the overall experience. If you're visiting Kennebunk, I would highly recommend the Kennebunk Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return in the future.

This is a very old inn so it is noisy and really has no extra amenities other than some terrific cookies and a 24/7 coffee tea station. That said the location is what sells the inn. Great places for breakfast etc, and near Kennebunkport..

Best customer service we ever experienced. We had a very late arrival (2am) and although the front desk was closed, they left detailed instructions on how to park, obtain keys and had refreshments readily available. We will definitely come back. Oh, great location too.

We were traveling with 2 kids. And as walls are super thin, got complains about noise in the room. Unfortunately, sometimes to control kids noise, specifically, when you are on vacation is super hard. Lesson learned for us.

The property is a refurbished inn from the 1600- 1700 time period. It has about 25 rooms in the center of Kennebunk and very walkable to services, dining and shops. Because of its age, one can hear a lot of noise/activity inside and out, but the property does know this and offers ear plugs and eye masks for its guests. Nicely kept historic inn for this 250th birthday of the USA!
