We loooooved the Colony Hotel! We were there in late October, so the main part of the hotel was closed, but the wing on the other side of the parking lot was brand newly remodeled and perfectly convenient, super clean and cute! Very easy parking, very very convenient location, we could walk straight out to the path along the ocean and could either walk or a very short drive to town. We absolutely loved it so much that we came back two nights later!

The hotel offers beautiful views off the beaten path. Unfortunately the staff wasn’t very helpful and the property seemed to cater to the large tour buses.

Loved my stay at The Colony.

I absolutely loved my stay in Kennebunkport & the Colony. The Colony is a very historic hotel in an absolutely unsurpassed location... truly like walking back in time. While some aspects of the property could use some updating, I give the experience a total 10 and highly recommend it to people that appreciate the historical significance of the experience and the stunning oceanside location. Can't wait to go back!

Beware… you’re not booking a room in this hotel!!!

Beware when booking!!!!! If you are booking on the off season you will not be put in the hotel you are viewing. They put off season guest in their new building, which is nice, but you’re not paying for the hotel you see. The hotel says its hotels.com fault and hotels.com says it’s the hotel’s fault. More charming hotels than their new one to choose from and not worth the money.

The room was not clean. There was food on the floor and dust piled in the corners of the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. Didn’t know we were staying in a place that had no AC and no TVs in the rooms. The property looked a little ran down. Weddings on site took away from the experience and was noisy up to 12 am in the morning. For the $600 a night cost I would never stay here again
