Reviews of Franciscan Guest House
"Perhaps the worst property I have stayed in over 40 years of personal and business travel. Our room looked like a drunk cheap uncle had tried to convert his basement in the 60s. Whoever owns/runs this “hotel” quite clearly has made no attempt whatsoever to update or maintain the place and is simply cash cowing the location for all it is worth. Beds and linen look and feel 40 years old, ditto the bathroom complete with stand in shower tub, suicidal shower curtain and towels from the 1950s. Baseboards were simply nailed on plywood and left unfinished and unpainted, TV electric cord descends from a hole in the plastic ceiling tile. The walls and ceilings are paper thin, outdated heating and a/c noisy enough to keep one from sleeping. Nylon bedding has not been renewed for decades. The entire experience is as depressing as it is painful. Even “cheap” hotels today have to set way better standards than this. In it’s current state the Franciscan Guest house should be more honestly described as a hostel or dormitory. The owners should do the right thing and close this place for a gut renovation or simply demolish it and leave the hospitality business altogether."
"No frills hotel. Clean & has all you need for your stay. Grounds are beautiful & location is excellent. Only about 1/2 mi walk to the beach and 1/2 mile walk into town. It was wonderful not having to worry about parking in town. We stayed in the main building on the second floor. Note there are NO elevators so you must be able to carry your bag upstairs. Bed was comfortable, could have used fluffier pillows they were a bit flat. Coffee, tea & hot chocolate were available in the morning. We would stay here again."
"Best location in Port. Walking distance to beach and town. Peaceful walking paths through the woods to an unspoiled estuary. Great for families."
"If you are looking for an affordable, low key, quiet, peaceful, quaint and charming place to stay while in Kennebunkport then look no further! It’s also within walking distance of town so no need to drive and look for parking. The grounds contain the monastery with gift shop, plenty of walking trails and wildlife along the water, and shrines to pray at. The staff were absolutely wonderful and a big part of why I’ll be staying there again in the future. They were very accommodating to me and my service dog and truly made you feel safe and like family. That’s important for a solo traveler like myself. I highly recommend them!"
