Nice....but not full service hotel

Nice...but buyer beware....the suite we order Rm 400 was nice, but it was detached from the main building, with a front desk that leaves at 4pm. None of this is related in the hotels.com site. We luckily arrived at 3:45pm but the front desk person was packing up to leave. If we would have arrived at 4:30 we would have gone to the "sister" hotel 2 miles done the road to check in. No hotel services....if you need an extra amenity after 4pm...no luck.

We were there in the off season and didn't really take advantage of all the hotel had to offer but would love to come back and do that. The rooms were nice, the property was beautiful and it was convenient to everything.

Nice, but not quiet

They put us in the part of the hotel that is across the bridge, so if you’re in the main building, this may not apply to you. The room was big and clean. But it was so noisy! You could hear and feel every time the ship below opened and closed the door. You could also hear every conversation held by people walking by. The parking lot is right there, so late at night you could hear cars with loud radios. And, we were lucky enough to be there on trash day, so we were woken up at 6 am by the loud and idling garbage truck. I would imagine that you can avoid all of these problems if you are in the main part of the inn.

Last minute stop in kennebunkport in Nov! So needless to say few restaurants were open. Only thing was a super minimal continental breakfast. Beautiful views from everywhere and Kristine at the front desk was amazing. She made checking in so easy. Thank you! We’re hoping to return soon!

Rooms were a bit small but clean and well appointed. Bathrooms were great with nice towels and plush robes. Service in the hotel.amd restaurant was excellent and everyone was helpful and friendly. The toilet paper was like sandpaper which was a surprise for such a nice property. Not a place to skimp per the ladies in my family. Breakfast was a huge disappointment for the room price paid. It was something you would expect from a Comfort Inn that doesnt have a kitchen to prep basic breakfast items in. A simple waffle maker would upgrade the breakfast alot.
