Ogunquit River Inn & Suites

Ogunquit River Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"We booked a weekend away to celebrate our anniversary and looked forward to staying here. The area was wonderful, many great restaurants, antique stores and beaches. The Inn was immaculately clean, our room was beautiful, bed was comfy, we especially loved the way the bathroom was set up and included warm robes, and the views are stunning. The staff was very friendly and we were surprised that our bed was made daily and room supplied with fresh towels without any of our personal things being touched. Our only complaint, (which was a big deal for us) was that we could hear tons of banging in the morning which woke us each morning at 8 am daily. We could also hear vacuuming at 10:30 pm. If you book a stay here, be sure to request that you are not put in a room under the lobby,"

Lamie's Inn and The Old Salt Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for a night and it was clean, unique and quaint. Rooms had character, but the kind we love. On site, they have the Old Salt which was. AMAZING food. After we took to the bar for Sunday night football. Breakfast in the AM wasn't anything to blow your mind, but it's free and something to grab on your way out. We would definitely stay again."
