The Colonial Inn

"We had a wonderful stay here this past week. We were in a king room 2nd floor of the main inn & could see the water from our window which was a pleasant surprise. Bed was very comfortable. Room was clean. Good water pressure in shower. Some other reviews mention uneven floors which is accurate but it didn't bother us at all. Breakfast room clean & had bagels, breads for toasting & assorted jellies and peanut butter, fresh muffins from a local bakery & fresh fruit, coffee & assorted teas & juices. In the afternoon coffee & freshly baked cookies were in the entry/sitting area. Walking distance to everything. We walked to Ogunquit Beach, all the shops, restaurants, Marginal Way to Perkins Cove. We enjoyed the firepit & if it had been a little warmer we would have used the pool & hot tub which looked well maintained. We're already talking about going back again!!"

"Sharyn and I Here now and leave Sunday afternoon. Displeased. Got in yesterday evening hot tub cold. Booked here because they have a hot tub. After arriving and going for nice early dinner to get back at 7 to jump in the hot tub discovering upon entry it was freezing cold. The pool warm but the hot tub was told there is a plumbing issue with the hot tub so it's cold. That's the main reason we booked this place a month ago we called to have reassurance that the hot tub was in working order . To be let down and climbing into a cold tub. So we go swim in the pool that was actually warm. Then getting into our room after our swim no hot water to take a shower and get the chill from our bodies."

"Lovely historic in on the rugged Maine Coast in Ogunquit Maine. Easy walk to downtown shops which were delightful and fun to explore, diverse restaurants, the beautiful Marginal Way Path walk, and the magnificent Public Ogunquit Beach. We had a delightful stay. The special packages were very well done and above and beyond what we expected. We will return!"

"Everything met expectations on our arrival. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, Ogunquit Center and lots of good restaurants if you like to walk as much as we do. The main building of the historic Inn is impressive and the staff was helpful during check-in and our room was as expected thanks to our previous conversations with Ashley. We selected a room in the Shorebirds building mainly because of the private balcony and we were happy with it. The welcome set-up with artistically folded towels and flower petals was a very nice touch. We got a chance to check out an upgraded room in the main building and appreciated the historic vibe there and beautiful appointments. We'll probably select an upper floor room at the Inn on our next trip. The continental breakfast included during our stay was pretty good with hard-boiled eggs, cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juices and fresh muffins and breads. We took advantage of the breakfast most mornings. The gentleman that took care of the breakfast room was a real sweetheart and did a great job. The lobby was a great space for hanging out or enjoying breakfast and the wrap-around porch was beautiful for the same purposes. Parking was an issue on some evenings when the property was full, but we always found a space. We didn't have a chance to use the pool or fire pit during our stay, but others were having a great time and the pool area was very well maintained every morning. We really enjoyed our stay and there were only a few minor issues. There is limited availability of staff after hours to resolve housekeeping and other questions but those that responded gave us options to pick up towels, etc. There was some evidence of wear and tear around the property, like some trim and decking needing fresh paint, all very minor, issue but worth a mention. Our highlight was the welcoming spirit and the thoughtful care we received from Ashley, the assistant manager, who made us feel like family every day. What a difference she makes! She's a great host and a very authentic and caring person. We'll remember her most of all."

"We loved our stay at the Colonial Inn! We’ve been to Ogunquit a few times before but stayed elsewhere and decided to try out the Colonial Inn this year. Suite 501 was a spacious two BR suite for our family of 4. We were able to cook dinner two nights using the kitchenette and the air fryer we brought from home. Beds were very comfortable. The only thing that could have enhanced our stay would have been better outdoor furniture by the suite building (like a conversation set) so we could sit outside without having to go to the porch of the main building or the pool area. There was one of those rubber picnic tables ( like found in a schoolyard) that wasn’t conducive to relaxing. We have older kids so we felt comfortable leaving them to go sit on the porch, but not all families can or would do this. We LOVED having a hotel with continental breakfast- it was just enough variety to not feel repetitive- staples like bagels, yogurt, fruit, cereal, etc. This hotel provides daily housekeeping service which we have found is a rarity since Covid. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again!"
