I read some reviews after I had booked our reservation and they made me nervous. The ones I saw weren't very good. However, we found the Inn lovely. The girl at the front desk was very nice. There was coffee and snacks provided when we arrived. Our room was beautiful. We had a suite, but didn't book a suite. We had a living room, a kichenette, and a king size bedroom. Everything was very clean. We had drinks and appetizers in the restaurant, which was very good. Based on the business the restaurant was doing, I would guess it's a very popular spot. We were traveling around New England leaf peeping and this Inn was such a nice surprise. It was one of our favorite spots. I give them a 10 our of 10!

A charming old inn at the top of Kennebunk. Great location with a breakfast spot just behind them, which is a favorite to the locals. Also fun to stop and watch pickle ball next door!

The room was spacious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the historic feel of the inn and its main street location. There was a Keurig coffee machine in the room but would have liked to have some coffee supplied to make coffee in the room.

We picked this property because we have two dogs. They were made feel very welcome! The location was fantastic, downtown was bustling - music on the streets, farmers market, craft fair, and art show! The food at the Tavern was very good and breakfast at the Boulanger was fabulous. Our room was spacious and clean, it was on the street, so there was noise, but that was to be expected.

Nice, cozy, but very old hotel inn. The room was nice but no elevator, many steps, not disabled/ handicap friendly due to high bathroom tub, nothing to hold on to and very old bathroom with rusty sink

We had a wonderful stay at the Kennebunk Inn. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hotel has a lot of historic charm, being a very old property, and it is absolutely beautiful. The character and atmosphere make it a unique place to stay and really add to the overall experience. If you're visiting Kennebunk, I would highly recommend the Kennebunk Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return in the future.

This is a very old inn so it is noisy and really has no extra amenities other than some terrific cookies and a 24/7 coffee tea station. That said the location is what sells the inn. Great places for breakfast etc, and near Kennebunkport..

Best customer service we ever experienced. We had a very late arrival (2am) and although the front desk was closed, they left detailed instructions on how to park, obtain keys and had refreshments readily available. We will definitely come back. Oh, great location too.

The property is a refurbished inn from the 1600- 1700 time period. It has about 25 rooms in the center of Kennebunk and very walkable to services, dining and shops. Because of its age, one can hear a lot of noise/activity inside and out, but the property does know this and offers ear plugs and eye masks for its guests. Nicely kept historic inn for this 250th birthday of the USA!

The Tavern staff was WONDERFUL.The room was quite disappointing.Chipped paint, bathroom had Zero lighting so couldn’t applymake-up.The shower outdated and super small.The highlights were fresh baked cookies in the lobby, and coffee always.They don’t offer a breakfast,not even continental which was a down point for me.The air conditioner in window was on its last leg.If you are looking for an upscale,romantic spot, definitely not for you.
