Well, yeah, a chain hotel, and not Hilton's top-of-the-line lodging. But we continue to have good…read moreexperiences here and think this is a good choice for a staying this area (it's in Kennebunk and is cheaper than the resorts closer to Kennebunkport). There are lots of things we appreciate: clean, fresh-smelling rooms, good AC, good blackout curtains, and good water pressure in the shower. But there's more: a very friendly front desk staff who prepare chocolate chip cookies every afternoon, a free hot breakfast, pleasant-enough pool (heated just barely by our standards) and a good fitness room. There are a few things that didn't quite match up for us: the hot breakfast is a bit hit-or-miss depending on your preferences; there are very few places to eat close by; and a trip to Kennebunkport can take 15 minutes with moderate traffic. Bottom line: we like Hampton Inns, and this seems a good one, the positives definitely outweighing the negatives, and it's fairly priced for this area during the summer months.

This hotel is your typical Hampton Inn. Some amenities are better than others…read more Check in. 3 stars. I asked for a room on the main floor when I made my reservation. Check in was 4 pm. It was almost 3:30. They said that room was not ready yet. I asked would it be ready by 4. No guarantees. Ok. Only other room ready was on the 3rd floor. Ok. I'll take that one. I paid my room by points, made a reservation by credit card and still insisted they swipe my card for $50 of incidentals. bTW, I never have incidentals. Room. 4 stars. Large plenty of extra space. Comfortable extra chaise in addition to the desk chair. Dumb position of microwave (could not read the small numbers) under the TV and the coffee machine on a pullout shelf at floor level. Ridiculous. Nice spacious bathroom with walk in shower. Thermostat allowed you to adjust for heat or cool and it worked well. Breakfast 2 stars. Canned hash and powdered scrambled eggs. Waffle iron coated with stuck on waffle. Coffee is tepid. (As is the all day lobby coffee and "hot" water). Hotel environment 4 stars. Common areas were clean. Computer for business, extensive commissary, gym and pool all available. Parking was plentiful on our stay. Not many places to replenish supplies or get a quick meal within 1/4 mile except a convenience store next door charging almost 10% higher for gas than on the Maine Turnpike.

I would have preferred that the fireplace was on in the lobby, that would be more welcoming I believe. Other than that, I really love the location and quietness. One thing that I did not like is our final day we could not take showers in the morning due to cold water. Usually the showers were hot and good pressure. So this was very disappointing to us.

Accommodating, helpful and very friendly staff. We bought some fresh oysters down east but hadn't thought of the oyster knife. Asked the manager if, by chance we could possibly borrow an oyster knife? Well, due to liability issues, they would not allow me to borrow the knife but offered to have the chef shuck them for us (after signing a waiver!.....I hate where our country is, but totally understand!). We listened to live piano to relax us during a raining and "trafficy" day driving from down east and Acadia national park. Just one mile down the road from Walker's point (The Bush compound) I was really hoping that we might run into 'W' and Mrs. but to no avail. The room was well appointed and a corner room with beautiful views of the chanel. Picture commercial lobster boats moored at bouys as the tides rise and fall with the hours going by. A rainy day to start lead to clear skies and a beautiful bluebird sky with white puffy clouds to accent. Breakfast buffet included in the stay along with free bikes to use as guest made our stay complete. I only wish we had more time to spend here at the resort! Huge thanks for making our stay complete and fabulous!! Cheers to you all. Oh, I almost forgot, they have a shuttle that runs out to dock square every half hour. What a blessing.

**This review is only for the event space and the bar near the event space**…read more Great location with more parking than typical in Kennebunkport. Amazing views, and the inside is gorgeous. Cute place with lots of cute decorations. They have a little bar right next to the event space that you can get a drink and it looks like you can get a drink to go as well. I would love to stay here sometime!

The owner Susanne is an amazing chef and her warm/welcoming personality was so much appreciated, she went out of her way to make our stay wonderful (she even put a candle in my scone on my birthday which was so thoughtful). The Inn is has a cozy & comfortable atmosphere which is elevated by Susanne's amazing homemade 3 course breakfasts each morning. We enjoyed the fire pit out front, which we relaxed by each evening, and Susanne sat & chatted with one evening in the sitting room as we sat with drinks & played a board game ( Susanne is a gem and we both adored her). We will definitely be returning soon, if you are in the Kennebunk area, you MUST stay here, you won't be disappointed. Until we return, we want to THANK Susanne again for everything she did for us and wish her & White Sails the best regards! Rick F. Stoneham,MA

After breakfast she gave me some good ideas about some touristy things I should do. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I look forward to coming back to the White Sails Inn!!

The Harbor Inn in Kennebunkport is hands-down our new favorite bed and breakfast. The owner, Mike,…read moreclearly understands hospitality on another level--he remembers the name of every single guest and you can tell he truly cares about the happiness of all guests during their stay. He gives a thorough overview of the inn when you arrive and always has great recommendations. I genuinely don't know if he sleeps at night because he's there to make you breakfast before 8:30am and is around at 10pm keeping the tea kettle hot for you. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the daily breakfast is generous and delicious. We also loved the thoughtful extras: a cozy tea bar, complimentary bikes, beach towels, and even Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Those little touches made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Location is great--close to a small beach and also the town. There are several restaurants even closer you can walk to as well. If you're looking for a place in Kennebunkport that truly goes above and beyond, the Harbor Inn is it.

The cost (~&1,300/night) is in line with the other Auberge resorts. There the similarities end. Our room (Garden 2) was claustrophobically small, a single uncomfortable chair for sitting, a single sink in the bathroom, erratic cable TV and heat that exceeded the thermostat setting. I've had rooms at a Hampton Inn that were roomier and much better furnished for $150/night. The staff was friendly, but in one case did not follow up on a promise. We had dinner reservations at the property restaurant for 6:00 pm and asked if they could move it to 6:30 or 7:00. The gentleman at the front desk said he would check and let us know. We never heard from him. VERY disappointed in our stay and recommend to all to avoid this property. The Auberge brand has been greatly tarnished in our eyes.

You're going to slog your luggage to your room yourself, perhaps in the rain or snow, from the parking lot, and most likely up a flight or, heaven forbid you booked one of the rooms on the third floor, up 2 flights of stairs. There always appeared to be just one staff person at the hotel, handling the front desk. The inn is very convenient to dock square. We only drove to dinner one night, the rest of the stay we had quite nice meals within a block or so of the hotel. We stayed in the perkins suite on the second floor. Nice sized room. Roomy bathroom, good shower, decent counter space and several drawers. Felt clean and new, like it had been remodeled not long ago. You knew you were in an older hotel, but the room was clean and well kept. Comfortable seating in front of the TV. They've upgraded to a larger TV than shows on many pictures. It was easy to pull out from the wall and switch out the hotel cable feed for our own streaming device. Plenty of convenient outlets. Good sized fridge. Bed comfortable and room can be kept reasonably dark and cold. A small missed opportunity not having a few more pieces of furniture in the room. There was plenty of available space where they could have put a small desk for working, a bench at the foot of the bed, or a floor lamp for evening lighting. All of these would have not crowded the room and would have made the stay more pleasant. Continental breakfast provided is very basic. If you want to be in the midst of Kennebunkport action, it's a good place to stay. But there are many other great options in the area, and the lack of service, especially around help with check in/out is enough to prevent us from ever returning.
