We were very happy with the convenience of the hotel to town. The room was clean and beautiful but there was continuous repiticious sound of a machine all day and night that was frustrating. The tv also would not allow us to use our accounts to watch any apps. Thank you for all your assistance with finding out room and the two 10.00 gift certificates to the store.since it was off season so no breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities
When staying in the fall, very limited amenities. No bar, no restaurant, view of a pond and tennis courts. There was someone’s meal left in the refrigerator. Other than that the room was clean. Building was fairly new. Advertising was very misleading, it really didn’t show where you would be staying . I feel they should not continue to put the main building in there advertising when it is closed down.

This is a storied Hotel Resort that has just complete a new section to be year round. Original portion of the hotel is over 100 years old with breathtaking presence taking its position with views and sounds of the ocean. Breakfast buffet each morning left you wanting for nothing. A wonderful way to experience Kennebunkport.

Obviously, The Colony is a beautiful hotel in a prime location. I have stayed there previously, but the current breakfast buffet was a MAJOR disappointment. At prior stays, it was one of the highlights of the stay. Now it is no better than any ordinaryhotel chain "free breakfast." I am sorry to say this offset all the other things I loved and still love about The Colony.
