This hotel was very expensive. The on-line description of hotel was nothing like we got. The main hotel was over a very nice water view restaurant. Our rooms were over shops ( a 3 floor walk up). In an attic like setting. Although clean and functional I never expected a room like this. The views were of the roof and it was noisy due to the shops below. Beware when booking this hotel

Enjoyed our stay. Only issue we had was that our deadbolt on our door didn’t work, nor could it as it didn’t line up to the slot in the door jam.

We got there very late the first night so really didnt get to experience much that night. There is no real front desk at this facility but the keys were left as stated and we had no problem getting into the room. The first night we were in the the Wharfside building but its rights across a footbridge. The rooms have coffee machines but they also have a carafe at a hallway station with both regular and decaf as well as an electric kettle. Their actual breakfast in the main building doesnt start till 8:15 but the coffee carafes were there by around 7am. Room was fine. The next two nights we were at the main Boathouse building. The rooms were definitely "fancier". Nice sized shower too. The building also has a nice rooftop deck with a nice view of the marina. Continental breafast was good. We never actually ate at their restaurant but the building is in town and everything is walkable. We loved the included bike "rentals". you have to pick them up at the kennebunkport Inn, but its a very short walk. The pool is also offsite but looked fine.

Hotel room beautiful and very clean. In the heart of town walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. Beaches about a 10 min drive from location. Staff was hard to contact and find. There is no one on service after 6pm. Contact best way via text.

The hotel was beautiful. It was a perfect location. Beautiful shops in restaurant went off-season but still there were quite a few places opened. Only disappointment was should’ve been a full sitdown breakfast not continental with minimal breakfast.
