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!

The room was clean. The problem was that our room was right above the wedding band and it was very loud. The hotel knew there was a wedding and booked the room anyway. After much complaining they did move us to a

James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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

Property has stunning views and is close to the beach and shopping/ restaurants. The resort is very walkable and a car isn't needed once you're here. The property offers a resort feel with old world charm.

Lovely Historical Hotel

Wonderful property with great history. Our room was lovely with a view of the water and balcony. The furniture needed help as our bureau drawers stuck. And lack of AC was challenging at times. We loved the coffee and muffins in the morning and welcome glass of bubbly. A memorable place.

Hotel was very clean and friendly, staff is spectacular, Alex the concierge was remarkable. Would definitely recommend this location. Only down fall was there are no television sets in the rooms which is good in a way.
PAUL, 2-night trip

I love the Colony we have been going for years. But we were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the room and while our stay no one cleaned our room and brought clean towels.

pool lounge beds were very uncomfortable.

Everything was excellent except one critical thing. The pool lounge chairs/beds have a metal bar that puts pressure on your lower spine and is painful after 15 min. Very uncomfortable and unforgetable.
