The hotel is one building away from three pickleball courts. You can hear the balls until 10 PM. The A/C was not working.

Upon check-in, we were given a map of the area and she showed us all the good places to eat, very much appreciated as this was our first time to Kennebunk. The room was small as expected. No space for me to place my toiletries. I had a small night stand to place some things. Bathroom was very small. The sink was too small for me to wash my face, and very low to the ground so I got water all over myself and the floor. TV did not work. Showed we were connected to the network but could not watch any live tv or movies and I kind of needed it to help me fall asleep. Its an old house, creaky floors. We had people above us and they were running/pounding across the floor and then falling down or dropping large objects very late at night keeping me awake. Both nights that we stayed. But it was charming and cute, nice courtyard to sit in. Lots of parking in a lot next door. 8 minute drive to Kennebunkport and beaches. It has a restaurant but its dinner only which was disappointing. Would have been nice to eat breakfast there. There was no room service which I was not aware of. We left the used towels in a pile. When we got back that night, the towels were still on the floor and bed was not made. Instead, there was a paper bag next to all the doors with new towels. So I didnt understand why there was an envelope to tip the maid when she never came into our room.

Pickle ball court directly next to hotel!

We recently stayed for 3 nights and, while the property has potential and the front desk staff were very friendly, there were several issues that impacted our experience: 1.Pickleball Courts: The pickleball courts are located directly next to the room we were in. Games continued after sunset, and the noise level was significant. Again, the swamp coolers helped a bit, but it’s not ideal for those wanting a quiet evening. On the second night, the court lights were also left on all night, and since the room only has standard blinds (no blackout shades), the light streamed in, making it hard to sleep. 2. Tavern Closure: The on-site Tavern was closed for the entirety of our stay, which was disappointing, especially since this was not communicated to us prior to arrival. 3. Safety Concern: The downstairs side entrance door remained unlocked overnight, which raised some safety concerns. 4. Noise Issues: Every night, around 1am, there was a loud banging noise coming from the refrigerator area. Unsure if it was old pipes or something structural — I even recorded the noise the first night. We resorted to running the swamp coolers on high the next two nights just to drown it out. 5. Room Maintenance: There was tape around the windows, possibly to block drafts, but it didn’t look great and detracted from the overall appearance of the room. 6. Housekeeping: Housekeeping did not sweep during our stay; debris and sand from earlier in the day were still present when we returned to our room
