Hotels near Gooch＇s Beach, Kennebunk

We stayed 2 nights at Port Inn and it was exceptional. Staff was great, room was spotless, quiet safe area and close to everything. At breakfast at a small cafe close by called Square Toes and it was great. Also at at Billy's Chowder house in Wells. Worth the 15 minute drive. Both places were recommended by the locals. Absolutely would stay here again

They gave us a handicap or assessable room which r not the nicest. N I don’t think they were sold out?? I’m not so old I need the grab bars! Anyways in addition the blinds n blackout shades did not close because they were improperly installed. I got on the chair n fixed them but my wife thought I was nuts n should have called the desk! But I know then I would have been up for 2 more hrs til it got resolved so I fixed it myself! Entrance to bldg was blocked for cars Br a cow gate! Not sure what that was about but if temporary then there should be a very apparent sign saying so! Staff was great!!

This was our second stay at this property. The first was pre Covid with friends. We had the two bedroom apartment above the office and while it was dated, we had gotten a decent price. This time we had room 23 which is in the “motel” type building with outside entrances. King room with an efficiency kitchen. I wish I could say that we’ll be back for a third stay. We will not. This motel needs major renovations. While the shower stall and bathroom floor looked new, the walls, woodwork, light fixtures, kitchen, bed, bedspread, drapes, carpeting and kitchen all need to be replaced and or cleaned more thoroughly. The freestanding hottub we enjoyed a few years ago by the outside pool is now gone and the spa hottub in the indoor pool area is empty. So if you are Looking for a hottub there isn’t one. The indoor pool had so much chlorine it was blinding to our eyes. We couldn’t stay in for any length of time. That room needs major attention. Peeling paint and what looks like mold is evident. This was a last minute trip booked the night before because we wanted to see “Beautiful” at the playhouse. Most properties were sold out this weekend but this one had rooms available so we booked it. For $200+ it was not worth the price when the condition of the property is taken into consideration. I believe the management is newer since we stayed pre Covid and maybe the new owners are making some improvements slowly (room bath had new shower and floor) but I just cannot recommend this motel to anyone at this point. Sorry. I just felt like I needed to wash everything we brought with us after staying here. Very disappointing.

Great hotel, friendly staff. Wonderful stay
