I had a wonderful stay at Trident Inn in Ogunquit! The property was welcoming, comfortable, and a lovely place to relax and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The location made it easy to explore beautiful Ogunquit and enjoy all the charm of coastal Maine. This is a hotel on a hill so please note when booking, but every step was worth the views. The staff, hands down the best....thank you for making me feel so welcomed😊 I truly enjoyed my stay and would happily recommend Trident Inn to...

Kings Port Inn

Kennebunk

10/10 Excellent

It was very nice, very clean big rooms and huge jacuzzi tub in large bathroom. Better than average continental breakfast and homemade cookies in the lobby every evening for guest staying at the Inn. Located right in the area of shops and restaurants. Near by scenic walks along the beach. If not the beach, sidewalks all around the town of Kennebunkport and Kennebunk. I highly recommend Kings Port Inn!

The Grand Hotel

Ogunquit

10/10 Excellent

Went to Ogunquit for a weekend getaway. The Grand Hotel was a quaint and charming place. Building is older so we could hear when people were talking (or snoring) next door. Rooms come equipped with white noise machines which helps reduce the exterior noise. The location can't be beat as it's locating almost perfectly between Perkins Cove and "the strip" in town. We would definitely stay there again.
