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.

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.

The facility has a number of lodging buildings. My disappointment was that I was expecting to stay in the inn and ended up in a modern building that was more like a motel. So if you are expecting to say at the inn, you should clarify this with the inn before booking.
