    Pros: Large room Clean Fairly large campus right off the river. Lots of outdoor space with seating areas Quiet Kayak/ SUP rentals on site (high tide only) Cons: Parking isnt connected to the building in which we were staying. Very short walk. Also stairs only Pillows were not the most comfortable. Way too thick Curtains did not block all the light so sun came through fairly early I'd likely consider staying here again if I were in the area.

    The grounds of this hotel definitely make up for any deficiencies there might be (and there weren't many lol). It's located right on the Ogunquit river which is more like a tributary...I saw they even had some kayaks on the grounds so that would be perfect in the warmer weather! And there were so many birds right outside the balcony! It was peaceful and just lovely! And you can see the ocean off in the distance behind some nice houses! Tons of parking, easy to find my way around. The staff member checking me in was excellent - friendly and helpful! They had hot coffee and hot water in the lobby, as well as a plethora of tea bags! I had a double queen room with balcony - get the balcony! It's so worth it! The sunset lit the whole world up in a fiery orange glow that night! It was incredible! There was a cool breeze rustling the leaves on the tree outside my screen door (which I left cracked all night - amazing sleeping to that sound)!!! Utter peaceful bliss! The room was large and clean, beds really comfy. There's a fridge and coffee maker but no microwave so that kinda sucked. Also, the shower is large but weird to operate and had pretty poor water pressure. Otherwise, everything was great except for the breakfast - I went to check out and grab breakfast right around 745am but the lobby doors were still locked. I was told it started at 7am when I checked in. There were other guests outside waiting too. Waited around 15 mins but needed to go. Luckily there was a Dropbox for the keys bc I couldn't wait any longer. Not a big deal - it's a very small town and these things happen sometimes. But this, along with the weird shower and no microwave is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. I'd still stay here again! I also received very nice text messages from management later on with a special offer to extend my stay...wish I could've taken them up on it! Will definitely be back.

    Delighted - ignore those outdated reviews. I have been coming to Ogunquit for 35 years and have stayed in many OGT hotels. First time here - loved my room. Double Queen room with patio. ( need to be able to traverse steps down as the hotel is positioned to take best advantage of the amazing views ) Bedding was comfy and provided a great sleep. Bathroom area was separated from sleeping room by a divided wall - bathroom was large and immaculate. Sink and closet/ storage space was ample The walk in shower was appreciated after a long day at the beach! In the morning they have coffee and pastry in the lobby . The grounds are immaculate and offer many places to sit and relax and enjoy the fabulous views !! Pool was clean and had nice canopied seating and towels Kayak rental on site Price was competitive and I felt a good value for the amenities and location. Ogunquit trolley stop to town and Perkins cove stops right out front!! One last thing - super friendly staff. Unusual nowadays to see people so engaged and pleasant. Special hats off to Trudy at the front desk. So pleasant.

    I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. It has changed over the years but the view to the sea is unchanged and beautiful! This trip I decided to change up where we stay and took a recommendation from friends and stayed here. It does not look like much from the road but decided to give them a try. The front desk is nice equipped with staff very kind and helpful staff. The rooms were large with comfortable queen beds. Other rooms had king beds with sofa beds. Most rooms have a view to the ocean. Tip : ask for these rooms. They get chosen quickly. Down fall no elevator and you need to carry your luggage up the stairs. I was given the 3 rd floor . I was very happy until I realized I had to carry my roller suitcase!! Not happy!! Breakfast is great. Nice perk. Rates vary on seasons. Call before and check rates. Do recommend!

    Awesome balcony view from our bedroom! (June 2015)

    Decent price for a two night stay in a King room (about $110/night). Pros: -We had a balcony view which was awesome--definitely the highlight of the stay. -The room was nicely updated and furnished. -Staff were very sweet and helpful. -Outdoor pool -Complimentary breakfast -Complimentary wifi Cons: -The biggest con is that this place is about 2 miles from Ogunquit village and beaches. It's a quick drive but all free parking is only 30 minutes. We took the trolley a few times (runs 9am-8pm on weekends, $2.00/adult per ride) but it could be annoying to bring beach stuff on it, and they only come every 20-30 minutes. It wouldn't be a bad walk but the road is very busy and with construction there are a few stretches with no sidewalk. A bit dangerous! The best thing is to have a car and park for $5 near the antique store past Maine Street bar. -Decks are shared with the adjoining room, so not very private. -The rooms did not have microwaves so you have to go to the main building to heat anything up. -Our tub would not drain for some reason... -The "heated" pool was chilly, and a bit buggy. Our stay was nice, but if we come back to Ogunquit we may try to stay somewhere closer if we can find something reasonably priced.

    We stayed here for a week in July and I have to say I was very pleased with this place. It was located less than a mile from Ogunquit beach and I'd say quite close to Wells beach also. The room had a nice comfortable king size bed flat screen tv a small area with a coffee table and love seat to relax in. The bathroom had a good size glass shower and toilet in one room and a double outside of door I liked that setup. Room was clean and really in beach town we showered and slept there so it was much more than we needed but I definitely will be staying here next year. They have docks with kayaks paddle boards that you can use. A pool with a jacuzzi they also have a breakfast that's included with your stay it's a continental breakfast. They have lots of parking and it is located right on the line where the bus/trolley picks you up to go Ogunquit beach

However, if you're like me, and you want a full vacation experience and hotel with a lobby and some amenities, with a pool, private balcony, a room with a beach view, and a fun experience hanging out in the room on a rainy day, or relaxing at night with wine and cheese, just know this is a simple little place and not all rooms are spacious and have views - you will have to make sure you reserve one of the larger rooms with a view. And the hotel is all about location, not frills. We made our plans late and got a garden level room, which was clean and had a comfortable bed, but, well, it's a garden level room with no view, facing a parking lot, with ultra low ceilings and was kind of cramped. Still, it had a nicely redone newer bathroom and shower, a functional air conditioner and it was convenient that there was a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven (for slices) and a sink for dishes etc so you don't have to fill up your coffee maker with water from the bathroom sink lol! We got lucky and had beautiful beach weather for every day of our stay so we just used the room to shower and sleep and spent time at the beach, walking Marginal Way, exploring Perkins Cove, shopping, trying different restaurants and having ice cream at night on one of the many public benches for people watching. This hotel does have a pretty lawn with some tables and chairs for all guests to use and that was nice in the morning with coffee. But if you reserve and get a garden level room, I wouldn't recommend that in the off season, or if you are unlucky and get rainy weather.

The Sparhawk rooms are right at the water's edge and you have wonderful unimpeded views of the Atlantic, Ogunquit Beach, Little Beach and the outlet of the Ogunquit River, with the mesmerizing tides. Plus the views are due east and the sunrises are amazing. However- though the rooms are clean and comfortable with a private patio or balcony, there are some misses for a higher end "resort" property. Our balcony door's deadbolt lock didn't work (which is a safety issue!), the bathroom sink's drain stopper was broken, the walls are rather thin so you easily hear your neighbors (and snorers), and we had ants in the bathroom. Plus it would be nice to have in-room amenities like a coffee-maker (coffee, tea, hot water are available in the lobby but only starting at 7AM, so early birds like us in need of a morning brew are out of luck) and mini-fridge (for keeping those leftovers or desserts fresh - instead, we had to wastefully throw them out). The complimentary Continental breakfast is welcome but the offerings are on the scant side - there should at least be cut fruit available and it would be nice to have hot fresh oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal packets. There are many other choices to stay in Ogunquit that offer such amenities and are more sound-proofed, though perhaps not with the amazing views that Sparhawk offers. But if The Sparhawk would like to be a top-notch stay, I think they need to up their game a little!

The man at the front desk was very helpful in teaching me how to use their keyless access. A part of me didn't like that there was no front desk attendant at all hours of the night for safety reasons, but then I also felt like I had the entire place to myself, which was also cool. Especially when I used their vending machine to get Ben and Jerry's ice cream at midnight. Come on, ice cream in a vending machine? A dream. I had the room in the very front of the inn on the ground floor. I didn't love this at first. There are windows everywhere and the view is the street. Anyone can see you in your room so the first thing I did when I got in was to shut the blinds, which was a bummer because beautiful light was coming in, the sun was setting, but I certainly didn't need anyone driving by or walking by knowing I had a room there and what I was doing inside! The room itself was fabulous. Enormous bathroom with a large vanity and incredible shower. Kitchenette with glassware, a sink, a bar, fridge, no freezer portion in the fridge however. The entry way of the room was beautiful, round table with chairs, a couch, coffee table and television. It would have been nice to have the television in my room to fall asleep to but I fell asleep on the couch instead. The bed had an armoire and it was very comfortable. There was a window in my bedroom overlooking Adirondack chairs with beautiful flowers. Attention to detail was apparent everywhere you looked. I had a front porch with a door, now even though it looked directly out onto the street, I enjoyed a cup of coffee out here first this in the morning and it was really just lovely and relaxing. They have parking spots in a private lot in the back. Check out is at 10, which is quite earlier, 11 would have been much more accommodating but it is what it is! I walked into town for dinner, it was a bit of a walk but doable and great exercise. It was set away from the hustle and bustle of town, which I liked. The breakfast in the morning left something to be desired, wasn't a fan of the coffee and it didn't seem like they had a ton of options to choose from. Breakfast is complimentary and they had such a quaint and beautiful dining area. Despite some of the things I didn't love about this place, I would absolutely stay here again and again and again. The man at the front desk also gave me recommendations for restaurants and bars to check out, he even gave me a map to hold onto. This seemed like the nicest inn I passed while in Ogunquit. A part of me didn't want to write this review in fear everyone would find out about this gem but the place deserves to be recognized. Highly recommend.

In the "common" area there are cameras everywhere on the ceiling! You can't sit and read a book without looking up and seeing a camera. The cameras make for a REALLY uncomfortable feeling in this so-called upscale "quiet" inn. ANY inn in the whole town would be a better bet for quiet and not having cameras stuck in your face.

My husband, sons and I had been going to the dunes for 8 years as returning customers to our cottage at the dunes. it was what everyone in our family always looked forward to. Both of my sons could not wait to take our yearly family trip. it was our forever spot, where we envisioned our family generations going every summer. When my oldest went to college he would still come to the dunes, even flying from his internship in California out to our yearly two week dunes vacation because, yes, it was that special. I can't understate that it was an absolutely magnificent place, untouched by corporate greed, a little family operation. The only thing to mark the property was an un-assuming wooden sign, small and simple but well done - just like the dunes. if you went fast enough on the bustling touristy road you would miss it. beyond the threshold of pines that shield your view to this little ideal world, are incredible ocean views, simple little cottages, green grass, and lots of space, it was a simple little paradise. the dunes was simple, elegant and already expensive. now imagine 2x the cost and you get the idea. what used to be around 8,000usd for a two week stay ( and a full kitchen) is now around 20,000$ (with no kitchen)........ absolutely insane. whats more disappointing is the rebranding of the property as some luxury cottage getaway when the original architecture and entire feel WAS ALREADY MORE GENUINE than this rebrand!!! The whole idea of the dunes cottages were things are simple, like going back in a time machine, units aren't about new interior renovations and luxury finishes. its about time to connect with family outdoors, get away to a simpler time and remember what truly matters. shame on new ownership - truly commercialism at its finest. Well done management, you lost an 8 year returning client, and just know, we have since visited and this place lost what made it special.
