Kings Port Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location to walk around Kennebunkport, Colony Beach, etc. Just enough out of the way to not get stuck in traffic. Easy to locate-just on the corner. Parking was not a problem in the fall. Very friendly staff. Rooms were clean, Liked that there was fresh coffee in the evening and hot water for tea or cocoa. Front staff made great food recommendations.

Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was perfect for our one night getaway. Had a great nights sleep! Close to the beach so I could enjoy the sunrise. Dog friendly, too!"

The Kennebunk Inn

8/10 Good

"Understand up front this is a very old historic inn. They have made upgrades of course but there are things to be aware of. The 2nd and 3rd floor should be avoided if you have heavy or large suitcases or if you are tall ( hall has low ceilings) and stairs are narrow and cramped. The floors creak and walls are thin. Staff is very friendly and it is actually still a cool place to stay, just be aware of the drawbacks. Downtown Kennebunk is a nice place."
