The room was very clean , the front staff was very helpful and sweet!
Only thing that was a downside (but makes sense) due to the age of the building you can hear everything.
If you are a light sleeper bring a fan to drown out some noise !
Hopefully will be back soon!

Dog-friendly & great location

Second time staying here. Can walk to shops & restaurants, dog-friendly. Charming building over 200 years old. Cons: Our room was on 3rd floor, so up & down 2 flights of stairs every time we walked dog. Shower backed up 1st time we used it, but they fixed it and comped us at the bar for our shower trouble.

We enjoyed our stay and the large room for our family. You just need to keep in mind this is a 200-year-old building and is very creaky, with no elevators. The kids loved the maze of stairways and exploring. The claw-foot tub wasn't the most convenient for my tall husband, but fine for everyone else. The staff here is AMAZING, Angela is a wealth of knowledge on the area and made some great recommendations off the regular 'tourist' path!

Upon check-in, we were given a map of the area and she showed us all the good places to eat, very much appreciated as this was our first time to Kennebunk. The room was small as expected. No space for me to place my toiletries. I had a small night stand to place some things. Bathroom was very small. The sink was too small for me to wash my face, and very low to the ground so I got water all over myself and the floor. TV did not work. Showed we were connected to the network but could not watch any live tv or movies and I kind of needed it to help me fall asleep. Its an old house, creaky floors. We had people above us and they were running/pounding across the floor and then falling down or dropping large objects very late at night keeping me awake. Both nights that we stayed. But it was charming and cute, nice courtyard to sit in. Lots of parking in a lot next door. 8 minute drive to Kennebunkport and beaches. It has a restaurant but its dinner only which was disappointing. Would have been nice to eat breakfast there. There was no room service which I was not aware of. We left the used towels in a pile. When we got back that night, the towels were still on the floor and bed was not made. Instead, there was a paper bag next to all the doors with new towels. So I didnt understand why there was an envelope to tip the maid when she never came into our room.

Pickle ball court directly next to hotel!

We recently stayed for 3 nights and, while the property has potential and the front desk staff were very friendly, there were several issues that impacted our experience:

1.Pickleball Courts: The pickleball courts are located directly next to the room we were in. Games continued after sunset, and the noise level was significant. Again, the swamp coolers helped a bit, but it’s not ideal for those wanting a quiet evening. On the second night, the court lights were also left on all night, and since the room only has standard blinds (no blackout shades), the light streamed in, making it hard to sleep.
2. Tavern Closure: The on-site Tavern was closed for the entirety of our stay, which was disappointing, especially since this was not communicated to us prior to arrival.
3. Safety Concern: The downstairs side entrance door remained unlocked overnight, which raised some safety concerns.
4. Noise Issues: Every night, around 1am, there was a loud banging noise coming from the refrigerator area. Unsure if it was old pipes or something structural — I even recorded the noise the first night. We resorted to running the swamp coolers on high the next two nights just to drown it out.
5. Room Maintenance: There was tape around the windows, possibly to block drafts, but it didn’t look great and detracted from the overall appearance of the room.
6. Housekeeping: Housekeeping did not sweep during our stay; debris and sand from earlier in the day were still present when we returned to our room

Read before booking- things to know

Ok, hate to give a just OK review but have to here. The staff was nice, location was good/safe, but the Inn was DATED. It was fine for us for a couple of nights but this is not the place for you if you can’t do old rickety stairs, or climb into a bathtub for the shower, or expect AC (did provide a window unit but was also old and loud), or peeling paint, stiff beds etc. It has charm but needs a major makeover. Sign in the bathroom said you may have to wait 8 mins for hot water. Again, staff was nice and location was good but you should definitely know that stuff before booking there as the rooms were non refundable. We could see it not working for many people.

We enjoyed our stay so much we extended it by another night! The rooms were comfortable and charming. The tavern was a great spot for dinner & a drink, and the staff for the inn were all so friendly and helpful and even gave local recommendations. We felt so welcome! We also enjoyed rocking in the rocking chairs in the porch. There is a French bakery behind the inn and we enjoyed it for breakfast each morning. And we also enjoyed walking through the historic district, which is convenient to the inn. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This place has a certain charm, bit old fashioned, sloping floors and doors and no frills. However, it could do with a refresh. We were placed on the upper floor at the end of a long corridor that could do with a new lick of paint and some pictures on the wall even, maybe even a rug on the noisy wooden floor.

That said, the room was warm and bedding / bathroom were clean. Unfortunately there is nothing to do in Kennenbunk, all the fun stuff is happening in Kennenbunkport so we found ourselves driving back to Kennenbunkport to hang out and get dinner.

Can recommend the bakery behind the Kennenbunk Inn for breakfast though (The Boulangerie), which was just fabulous.

We enjoyed Kennebunk Inn, being so historical and right in the middle of downtown.
Like the coffee and tea amenities. Nice bath products. Bed was comfy, but squeaky. Hot water came quicker than in the note of 8 min., thank you!
It was noisy early morning with garbage truck and traffic. We were in the last room, so hauling luggage up 3 staircases was not fun. Wished all restaurants nearby were open on the day we were there.
We would recommend Kennebunk Inn!

Just spent a girls weekend at the Kennebunk Inn and it was great. Check-in was easy. We were able to pick up our keys even though it was late when we arrived. The inn itself and very cute. We loved the character of the building and the history. Our only issue was the shower was blocked partly by a pipe and the sink drained slowly. But none of those things take away from the great experience we had. New towels were provided to us without asking even though we were only there for one night. Loved that we could fill up our water bottles with water from the bar and they had ice bags as well. And the location was perfect. An easy drive to all the places and restaurants we wanted to visit in the area including Ogonquit and Kennebunkport. Pricing was very affordable compared to the towns mentioned above. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

I needed a play to stay for one night while visiting friends in Kennebunk and the Kennebunk Inn was in the perfect location.
The cuteness, charm and historic aspects were wonderful but they come with a cost: the room was a bit small (though no big deal for my purposes) and, no matter how clean it is, an old room feels, well....old and not sparkling.
It WAS clean, however and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location couldn't have been more perfect.

The hotel was nice, the front clerk was kind, and the room was very clean.
The bed in room 10 was AWFUL. It sagged on both sides and felt like I was laying on straw that was covering bare coils that were on top of a trampoline. If you sat on the side of the bed, you were then practically sitting on the floor.
The hotel is also very loud-it’s a cool building but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a nightmare without a sound machine.
I also didn’t love the lack of security at the property; the back door remains unlocked all night but there isn’t someone manning the front desk (from what I could tell).
