"My wife had a wonderful stay at the Inn. It was our second visit, though the ownership has changed since we were last here (two years ago). The staff were attentive, warm, and professional throughout. The room was nicely appointed -- with a functional kitchen, walk-in shower, and deep, modern soaking tub. Location is terrific, close to the Marginal Way, restaurants, and downtown Ogunquit (okay, maybe a 15-20 minute walk). Just a wonderful place to stay in beautiful Ogunquit!"

"Incredible facility. Clean, spacious, great location. Complimentary seltzers, juice and bottled water was nice. Only complaint is with offsite parking… if you have an SUV (garage is only for compact cars) the assigned lot is a solid 8-10 minute walk away and makes loading/unloading very inconvenient. There are public parking lots that are closer and cheaper. Would stay here again and just plan for different parking."
