Inn was amazing and beautiful! Would love to go back. A little hard to find room initially but once we found it we loved it!

Unfortunately we were woken up by extremely loud hotel guests (next door to our room) that continued to be obnoxious throughout the night - we called the line provided and couldn’t reach anyone on the hotel staff to assist as well as the GM. It was horrible. No sleep. More guests next to our room were also kept awake and complained but there was no hotel security or staff to help them either- we almost called the police but hesitated.
After sharing our experience with the hotel staff upon check out the only thing that could be done was to offer us $150 towards another evening within the next few months - which we won’t be taking the chance on.
It’s too bad because the hotel is in a great location and has been revamped but the infrastructure needs major help as staff should be available to help guests no matter the time.

The property is beautiful and the service was excellent. What was very disappointing was the fact that the pictures online show a beautiful waterfront that guests can sit and enjoy the view however, you can only use the seats for a limited time until the early bird visitors to the restaurant come and then you must return to your room a
Or leave the resort as you are kicked out from the resort you paid for to relax at. We couldn’t sit at the table in the evening ga and just enjoy the sunset as the restaurant uses the whole deck. No one explains that when you spend the money. We went to relax and wanted to spend the nights watching the sunset in our resort but we were forced to leave and walk and that was not our desire or to be inside like our normal worklife. Very disappointed!

Very friendly staff. Door was squeaky but that added to New England charm. 😀 A few more amenities in the lobby would have been nice. Very charming and relaxing.

We are old people and they put us in a separate small old building without decent parking and we had to carry luggage up steps. Also, there was a loud event whereby guests took over the whole place. Guests should be told no elevator and if a noisy event will be consuming the already limited space. Eight children were standing on the porch barking loudly for no reason at all. Parents were leaving their children unattended so they could attend the party. On a positive note, the view was beautiful and there were some Adirondack chairs that we would have enjoyed if they weren’t constantly filled. Bed was comfy. Shower was decent.

Wasn’t aware there was construction going on however the rooms were very clean and updated. No noise noted and the staff were amazing! Just a little dust at the property due to construction but did not interfere with stay. About a mile walk to the shops and restaurant but I preferred it. Made for a quiet area. The restaurant is 10/10! Will stay again!

The inn seems to be still undergoing construction. Many areas of the rebuild are incomplete or shoddily done. I was not a fan of the parking situation. The bed was comfortable.

The room was large and had a huge window overlooking the Kennebunk river and the ocean off to the left. The location truly can't be beat! We ate at the bar outside two nights and the food and drinks were exceptional. The only downsides were there was no dresser to put away your clothes even though the room had plenty of room to accommodate more furniture and the air conditioner was loud. We notified the front desk right after our first night and they said they'd have someone work on it, but we saw no improvement our second night. It was so loud when it cycled on that it could wake us up from a sound sleep and it didn't seem to be working that well. But other than that, it was a gorgeous place to stay!

As a guest at the Inn I didn’t think it would’ve been a no-no to bring a Corona/half down to sit in one of the lawn chairs and catch a bit more of the sunshine. (6:00) We had been up North for the day, had a late lunch and had decided to put a few things in the car as we were leaving the next day. But, I was approached by a woman I’m assuming ?hostess who said that was not allowed and she needed to take the bottle which was a couple sips left! She offered to bring the drink menu to which my husband and I replied no. We had had a couple drinks and appetizers the day we arrived. We also had dinner at Mabel’s the night before. I felt it was rude and quite honestly I was speechless. I called the Office number to speak to the Manager and had to leave a voicemail and never got a call back that evening. I then called again today Thursday, spoke to girl at reception desk also and still have not received a call from the Manager. This, is totally unacceptable in my eyes to not have gotten a response especially from an Inn that presents itself as high end/ luxury Hotel? Very unhappy, will not be back and will tell my friends never to book a stay here.

We had an amazing remodeled King room with a porch and chairs on the 1st floor. Great views of the river, ocean and sunset. Nicely furnished and we were within walking distance of Dock Square. The Port Fish and Chophouse Restaurant at the Inn was excellent. Mabel's Lobster Claw across the street had a lot of choices including great Lobster Rolls. The receptionists helping us check in were excellent. We arrived early and they texted us when our room was ready and then escorted us to our room. Highly recommend The Breakwater Inn.

Hotel is in the middle of a remodel. Was supposed to have queen bed got a full. Other than that room was remodled nicely.
Pillows weren't the greatest. No complimentary breakfast as was mentioned
when booking. AC/ Heating very loud.When the remodel is finished it will be a nice little place to stay for a weekend.

I’ve booked a king size and get queen size. Why I am being charged for kings while I had a queen size? The staff was rude and she gives us the explanations of her dog is dying. We made the best of it but the staff told us that she will rectify this on Monday but today is Tuesday. I am being charged and getting something else.

The room was cute, spacious and a nice view of the ocean. Bed was very comfortable. However, not enough light. The bathroom needs to be updated. Paint chipping off the cabinet, bathtub, outdated and needs re-caulking, and a new shower head. Also the toilet lid was not cleaned. The coffee selection could use an upgrade to something other than folders. Maybe hot chocolate too, along with snacks, granolas bars, crackers, etc? Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but for the money paid, we expected a bit more.

Room and view were great. Communication about how to check in was wrong and confusing. There was no previous mention that our room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator.
Also, Hotels.com said I would pay half the day of booking and the remaining when I checked in. My credit card was charged the 2nd half of the payment 2 days after booking. The hotel said it was their policy to change the full price 15 days before the check in date so incorrect info from Hotels.com.

We had a lovely stay here, the view was gorgeous and getting to sit outside with a cup of coffee looking out onto the water was special. It’s very kid friendly - our son was able to run around watching boats, throwing rocks, looking for shells on the waterfront. It’s simple, beautiful, clean with great everything you could want.

Happy with our room and staff. Had drinks by the water and dinner in the restaurant. Very friendly and great food. Overall enjoyable. Description a little deceiving with the views. Pick a balcony, otherwise you are just getting a picture window. I picked up on it, but others in our group did not like their view.

Our stay at the Breakwater Inn was great! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a very nice woman who gave us clear instructions on where to park, where our room was, as well as menus for both the restaurant across the street Mabel's, and the restaurant in the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the water with two adirondack chairs. The bartenders were so friendly and made great drinks. Others that were staying at the hotel were just as friendly. I couldn't speak more highly of our experience. It's only a 20 minute walk to the downtown area where the shops and restaurants are. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
