Location is unbeatable, hotel rooms are cute, clean, and the staff is helpful and kind. Free breakfast, free parking, walkable. I went during the fall and enjoyed the fire pit, fall foliage. And Halloween decorations. Such a lively place that will fill your heart with joy — perfect fall getaway!

The location can't be beat. Park your car and walk everywhere in Ogunquit. The continental breakfast was excellent! We were on the first level of the annexed building. The people above us were very loud. I asked to be moved but they were unable to move us. We will try this location again and hope for a quieter room.

Main inn was not very quiet

Interesting experience staying in an old historic building like this, but I don’t think I’d stay here again. We stayed in the main inn on the 3rd floor, and we could hear every step our neighbors above and adjacent to us made. I had requested a top floor room when I made the booking 6 months in advance, and called a few weeks before to ask again, but was immediately told it just depends on what’s available at check in. The floors are creaky and slanted, which adds to the charm, but doesn’t make for a restful, quiet evening. Ultimately, if you want the experience, this is a solid choice, but if you want a quiet room, I’d look elsewhere.

Nice and comfy

Clean and comfortable stay. Advertises a bar which is actually a cooler of booze behind the check-in counter lmao. Convenient location. We’d stay here again
