Nice, very clean hotel overlooking water. Walking distance to everything i.e. Perkins Cove, Marginal Way and restaurants. The room was very pretty and the bathroom was immaculate. We were on the 3rd floor which were very steep stairs ( 2 flights that curved). This was manageable for us but if you have any physical limitations I would ask which floor you will be on. It may be difficult for some to carry luggage up the 2 flights. The hotel did not offer free coffee due to the pandemic. It was very difficult to find coffee places open while we were there. Maybe the hotel could have it on an outside table on the covered porch.

Beautiful rooms!

The rooms are spacious, bright and airy. Incredible accommodations for the price! Parking is a little tight and one inconsiderate guest can throw the whole place into disarray. We will definitely stay again!

Great location just off the town center. Nice, clean room, generally very quiet (but quite noisy with heavy rain hitting the in-window A/C unit during a nighttime rainstorm, fortunately only one night of that). Reception & room cleaning service were both very good. I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect spot!

Hotel location was perfect and the view from our balcony was breathtaking. The shower was the size of a walk in closet and had a huge tiled bench in it was assistance in leg shaving. I would have liked a newer mattress that didn’t have a spring pop up when you got out of bed or moved around. The only other thing is the air conditioning unit was set and couldn’t move up or down it was 84 degrees out and stuffy in the room. The remote acted like you had control over the temp , but in fact, it wasn’t true. The room also had a microwave oven, a coffee maker, and a small fridge. Overall, we loved this location and hotel and with a few minor details upgraded, we would have given it a five in everything. We will definitely return to this hotel thogh, maybe in the spring.

A Perfect Place to stay in Ogunquit

September is such a nice time in Ogunquit. The tourists are minimal and the Marginal Way Inn is the perfect place to stay. My room on the third floor of the main house had an ocean view and was simply lovely bathed in white with vintage furniture and accessories. Sitting on a wicker chair sipping the coffee on the porch in the morning while overlooking the lovely gardens and ocean was a great way to get the day started. Restaurants are only a short couple blocks away, so finding the obligatory blueberry pancakes for breakfast was not a problem. You are steps away from the bridge to the beach and on the Marginal Way itself. Parking is easy and the staff are very helpful and pleasant.

Location is great just off of everything, beach, marginal way and restaurants. Some building extension appears quite recent. Room is large wand well loaded with equipment. However, they did not bother much with room to room sound insulation, next door and upstairs. But this appear to be quite common in Ogunquit in general.

Nice Ocean side hotel.

We had a warm friendly greeting. Clean and well kept. An atmosphere that brings you back to the 40's /50's. Beautiful ocean view and a short walk to the center of town and shops. Very close to the Marginal Way entrance. Will repeat next year.

I was very pleased with the accommodations especially being on the ground level in the carriage house. The space was large, comfortable & with the best location between the beach & shopping district. You won't even have to use your car with everything being within walking distance.

Awesome location! We loved the grounds especially relaxing the porch as we gazed at the ocean. We had a great time and are looking forward to staying again. Our room was fresh, clean, and comfortable. A great value.
