positive:
Fantastic honeymoon spot
Filled with history and close to the gorgeous Maine coast, the hotel is the perfect spot to enjoy a seaside honeymoon. With a little advanced notice, the staff will even pull out all the stops, setting you up in the honeymoon suite with a bottle of bubbly waiting on your bed.
positive:
Idyllic coastal location
Recently remodeled, the hotel is modern and well kempt. It's also a short ways from the beach, scores of scenic Maine drives, enjoyable excursions like fishing, golfing, and only a moment's stroll from Kennebunkport's town center.
positive:
Breakfast on the house
One additional plus of staying at the Kennebunkport Inn is the free breakfast. Every morning, the hotel serves up a fresh breakfast with hot and cold continental favorites like eggs, toast, cereal, fruit, and hot and cold beverages.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms better than others
Overall, guests of the hotel found the accommodations charming and the rooms clean and airy. However, some visitors mentioned that, while certain rooms are spacious and have lovely views, others are borderline closets with views of the parking lot.
negative:
Poorly soundproofed
Some rooms at the Kennebunkport Inn are located on the quieter upper level, but if you wind up on the lower floors—especially one near the parking lot—the thin walls might let in some of the ruckus from the departing and arriving guests.
negative:
Unimpressive breakfast
Although most guests have found the complimentary breakfast a good way to start their adventures in Kennebunkport, some found their continental meal mediocre compared to the otherwise stellar food and service at the inn. A free meal is still free, though.
