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.

This was our first time at The Boathouse, we loved the convenient location and being able to walk everywhere. We parked upon arrival and didn’t use our vehicle until we were headed home. There are several dining options around but the restaurant on premise was by far our favorite in terms of atmosphere and food. As others mentioned, you can sometimes hear doors opening and closing out in the hallway but it was nothing that disrupted our sleep. We will absolutely be booking this hotel again in the future!

First of all, the booking ad said room service, and there was none. Not only that, but we were put into a separate building from the main hotel/restaurant. Not a nice surprise. The restaurant was highly rated, yet the food was mediocre at best. Our lobster was severely overcooked and rubbery. At 5:00am a garbage truck backed into the parking lot directly below our window and left the backup beeper going for about a half hour, so no sleeping in here! Clean room, but noisy and mediocre food at best.

We absolutely adored our room! We had a lovely view of the water, parking was easy (although tight!), and the ease of walking everywhere was amazing! Next time, we want to stay in the main building! Also, the food and drinks at the restaurant were top-tier!! The best lobster roll I've ever had!

Really nice place…. Perfect location… all staff excellent…. Love how walkable things were… lots of options. Only minus I can give was the “noise” of the blower on the room air conditioner… which really wasn’t horrible

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.
