What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 153 guest reviews
The Kennebunkport Inn earns consistently high praise for its prime location in the heart of Kennebunkport, charming old-world character, comfortable rooms, and welcoming staff. However, a handful of guests note that the property is showing its age and could benefit from maintenance and cosmetic updates, while the continental-only breakfast and limited indoor seating are minor but recurring disappointments. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many guests returning or planning to.
