Very friendly staff. Door was squeaky but that added to New England charm. 😀 A few more amenities in the lobby would have been nice. Very charming and relaxing.

Our stay at the Breakwater Inn was nothing short of amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, our room was beautiful and exceptionally clean, and the property itself is truly one of a kind. Every detail made our stay feel special. We can’t wait to return and will absolutely choose the Breakwater Inn whenever we visit Kennebunkport again!

Hotel was being renovated. It was very clean and the location is awesome. There was no breakfast but there was free coffee all day long. The building was very quaint. The nearby restaurants were very good. Can't wait to visit again when the renovations are done.

The view from our room was stunning, and we were very happy with the location- peaceful & tranquil spot on the outskirts of town center, and only a short walk to town beach.

Wonderful room! Clean, spacious and felt so private on the third floor. The view was great and we had a perfect view of the fireworks nearby.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Our view from our room was of the harbor, with moored lobster boats and waves breaking in the distance. The staff were friendly, warm, and accommodating. If you are looking for a romantic, iconic Kennebunkport hotel, this is it.

We had a lovely stay here, the view was gorgeous and getting to sit outside with a cup of coffee looking out onto the water was special. It’s very kid friendly - our son was able to run around watching boats, throwing rocks, looking for shells on the waterfront. It’s simple, beautiful, clean with great everything you could want.

Lovely views from our suite. Room was spacious and tastefully furnished. Hotel was undergoing renovations but still a good stay.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

We are old people and they put us in a separate small old building without decent parking and we had to carry luggage up steps. Also, there was a loud event whereby guests took over the whole place. Guests should be told no elevator and if a noisy event will be consuming the already limited space. Eight children were standing on the porch barking loudly for no reason at all. Parents were leaving their children unattended so they could attend the party. On a positive note, the view was beautiful and there were some Adirondack chairs that we would have enjoyed if they weren’t constantly filled. Bed was comfy. Shower was decent.

8/10 Very good

The room was large and had a huge window overlooking the Kennebunk river and the ocean off to the left. The location truly can't be beat! We ate at the bar outside two nights and the food and drinks were exceptional. The only downsides were there was no dresser to put away your clothes even though the room had plenty of room to accommodate more furniture and the air conditioner was loud. We notified the front desk right after our first night and they said they'd have someone work on it, but we saw no improvement our second night. It was so loud when it cycled on that it could wake us up from a sound sleep and it didn't seem to be working that well. But other than that, it was a gorgeous place to stay!

6/10 Good

Hotel is in the middle of a remodel. Was supposed to have queen bed got a full. Other than that room was remodled nicely. Pillows weren't the greatest. No complimentary breakfast as was mentioned when booking. AC/ Heating very loud.When the remodel is finished it will be a nice little place to stay for a weekend.

We arrived a few weeks prior to the opening of the Summer season. Our rooms w/balconies were great! Property is being renovated & will be really nice when completed. Also be aware there is not an elevator & the stairs are steep & narrow. Great location to downtown

We had a wonderful time. The views were spectacular. Room was a nice size and very clean. The only this I advise is if you have trouble climbing stairs please ask for the first floor rooms. Had to carry our heavy luggage up 2 flights of stairs. But the view from the upper floors is great.
