Lovely quaint hotel
It was a 200+year old hotel which brought in all the charm and memories from that era. Customer service was exceptional. There are no elevators so be sure you can manage the stairs.

Darling Inn in Kennebunk. Loved the antique feel with modern conveniences. Creaky floors, comfy bed, hot shower, nightly cookies. Only wished the Tavern was open more days. The timing of our trip only let us have a cocktail one night. Would have loved to dine there as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness
While the staff was incredibly kind, the room we stayed in had a very very* stained pull out couch and mattress, which was difficult to overlook. Little to no water pressure, making it difficult to shower. My family and I appreciated the convenience of this hotel but it definitely needs some tlc. Will not be returning.

Would stay again
A clean comfortable room. I only wish I researched it more carefully to know in advance that my room wouldn't come with a mini fridge and microwave. The toilet often ran water during the night, but that was the only repair issue during my short two night stay.

Charming Hotel, Great Staff
This was a last minute booking after something else fell through and we were shocked at how lovely it was. This is an old home converted to hotel. It was so quaint and well furnished. We had a family room and it was quiet and dreamy. There were homemade cookies set out for us in the lobby and a lovely bakery just across the parking lot. The breads an pastries were great.

It is a lovely old building right on Main Street in a convenient location. Friendly staff and guests. However, there is no elevator to access the rooms Climbing stairs was difficult with suitcases. Also, no WiFi kept going out.

Great place to stay. Friendly staff. In a terrific location. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite that had a kitchenette w/fridge & microwave and pullout sofa. Very comfy for our family of 5. Within walking distance of great eateries, and driving distance of beach. Would highly recommend the Kennebunk Inn. We’ll be back!

Just spent a girls weekend at the Kennebunk Inn and it was great. Check-in was easy. We were able to pick up our keys even though it was late when we arrived. The inn itself and very cute. We loved the character of the building and the history. Our only issue was the shower was blocked partly by a pipe and the sink drained slowly. But none of those things take away from the great experience we had. New towels were provided to us without asking even though we were only there for one night. Loved that we could fill up our water bottles with water from the bar and they had ice bags as well. And the location was perfect. An easy drive to all the places and restaurants we wanted to visit in the area including Ogonquit and Kennebunkport. Pricing was very affordable compared to the towns mentioned above. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Charming but tiny and quirky
Tiny room, a little bit too tiny for the price. This place is all about location. Toilet was up on a step, absolutely no amenities in room other than shampoo and soap. Room up two flights of stairs and AC incredibly loud. Very nice staff!

I needed a play to stay for one night while visiting friends in Kennebunk and the Kennebunk Inn was in the perfect location. The cuteness, charm and historic aspects were wonderful but they come with a cost: the room was a bit small (though no big deal for my purposes) and, no matter how clean it is, an old room feels, well....old and not sparkling. It WAS clean, however and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location couldn't have been more perfect.
