Lovely stay overall. There was no shampoo in the container upon first shower. The second day we had to ask for soap. Front desk staff helped us right away! We wished we could make coffee/tea in our room but it is downstairs. I would stay again. Overall very nice hotel.

Another Great Stay
A great value for a hotel with breakfast in Ogunquit. Close to town and Perkins Cove, so no need to drive anywhere. Small pool also. Nice lobby and a big front porch. We have stayed here many times and find it fine for us.

Ogunquit
Great views of the ocean from our room. The property had a friendly and helpful staff. The room was nicely remodeled. You could tell that the property had recent renovation. Access required climbing a steep set of stairs - no ramp to the main entrance and check in desk, which would have been helpful when arriving with bags.

The Colonial Inn is an older historic building, but well maintained and wonderful staff. It was clean and quiet. Easy walk to shopping and restaurants AND the access to the Marginal Way is steps away. Bonus-freshly baked chocolate chip cookies daily between 2 and 4. Coffee always available and during daytime hours infused water. Would definitely stay there again.
