We returned to visit the newly renovated COLONIAL INN in Ogunquit. What an exceptional job they did. Everything is elegant from the welcoming entry to the huge rooms to the extra touches that makes this INN a five star place! The owners are incredibly hospitable and make sure you have a wonderful stay - which we certainly did. We will... More

What a difference a year makes. The spectacular renovations made since my last visit were stunning! My room was impeccably clean. It featured a king size comfy bed, flat screen tv and a newly remodeled bathroom. The quality of the furniture along with their choice of fabric for the throughout added to the shear magic and relaxation I felt. However,... More

It is no wonder there are, as others have mentioned, rooms available on short notice. It is because no one that has stayed here before wants to stay here again. The build up of "stuff" next to the bed near the nightstand was enough to make me gag. Food, dirt, crumbs. Room was musty, beds were like sleeping on bricks.... More

We have stayed here a handful of times. The reason we return is all about location and vacancy. Usually we arrive without a place to stay and the Colonial ALWAYS has a vacancy. The rooms are usually an average to decent price compared to other places to stay further down on Rte 1, so we choose to stay at the... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights (last weekend through Monday). When got to our room, which was on the first floor, we wondered why the windows were open. When we opened the door, we understood. It smelled very musty. The rooms do not look like the ones that are on the website. They are very... More

This inn is a throw back to an earlier time of travel. Wrap around porch, large sitting area, outdoor areas. Inside, the rooms are clean but on the small side, and lack amenites such as storage space and convience items such as tables and chairs. If you want to stay at a low frills clean hotel, this is place. Convient... More

Spent a week at the Colonial in one of the suite units. Yes, the place is a little rundown but its clean and functional and the staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our kitchenette (with full sized fridge )was well equipped with all that we needed for a week's stay. This is a quiet location with a nearby access walkway... More

I would give it 3 and 1/2 stars if I could. We stayed here for 5 days over the labor day weekend. We booked late and were lucky to get anything at all. I was hesitant because of some bad reviews but we had a great time. It is a very old beautiful building. It really needs the major renovation... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The last of the grand hotels of Ogunquit, the Colonial Inn has provided shelter and genuine Maine hospitality to travelers for over 125 years. Today, having undergone a major historical renovation and with new ownership and management, the Colonial Inn steps forward to reclaim its place among top hotels in the heart of Ogunquit. Accommodations at the Colonial Inn are comprised of 62 rooms spread throughout four different buildings, offering a variety of room configurations which can suit guests’ preferences or requirements, whether a single traveler, couple, family or group. The hotel’s Main Inn has been reconfigured and enhanced by taking the previous count of 44 rooms down to 28 rooms, several with water views. The end result is bigger guest rooms that afford a first-class experience with more of the comforts of home. Most rooms in the hotel – and every room in the Main Inn itself – boast a king bed, a refrigerator, coffee maker and new furnishings and décor. ... more   less
