Beds are comfortable, the extended rooms in shorebirds building are overly sized, the location is walk to town/ walk to small coves across from Ogunquit Beach- you cannot beat this location.

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.

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.
