Top Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

The Colony Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but very plain. No TV. Bed was okay. View was amazing from back side of hotel, not so much from room."

Drakes Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place! Provided everything we needed especially for our doggie 🐶 Thank You for your hospitality! We will be back!"

Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"What a find!!!! Especially in a town/region where prices are double and triple the rates at Carriage House. The owners and staff could not have been more accommodating, kind and helpful. The property is incredibly clean and well maintained and charming - and pet friendly! You can choose a cottage, 1br, 2 or more or sweet motel rooms with actual real Mr Coffee's, not those awful single pod weird hotel coffee makers; fridge, microwave, renovated bathroom and impeccably clean -- all, as I say, for a rate about a third of what MUCH lesser properties right nearby cost. Believe me, I am in Ogunquit frequently for work. I've stayed a LOT of places there. A total find! I'll be back with my crew and I endorse the place 100%."

Port Inn & Suites Kennebunk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel was comfortable and clean."

Footbridge North Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good amount of space in the room. No problems. Convenient to have a kitchenette in the room to make your own breakfast."

Village by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Very spacious and perfect for a family"
