Lovely stay - July 2023

Reviewed Jul 26, 2023
We just returned from a lovely stay at Ogunquit River Inn. The service was excellent. We were appreciative of responsiveness to special requests. We asked to change rooms after the first night and we were accommodated at no extra cost. (Thank you again!) We stayed in room 341 which was near the pool and also had a view of the river and sea; it was beautiful and pleasantly breezy. The dining hall / clubhouse, equipped with highchairs, microwave, water, etc., was a big plus for us as well as we had two small children and took many of our meals there with simple food we brought. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet there for $13/person, but is open for guests to use during other times of the day when there is no meal service. The pool area was very well-maintained and clean, and we appreciated the abundance of pool towels on-site.

Beach access was a 15-min walk for us (to Footbridge Beach), and we were somewhat plagued with mosquitoes in our initial ground-floor room (113). The mosquito problem reduced quite a bit by relocating to the fourth floor and enjoying the breeze on the deck. No elevator at the hotel, so floor level might be important to consider if one wants/needs to avoid stairs.
Date of stay: July 2023
Room Tip: We preferred a room on the fourth floor facing the river. We seem to attract more mosquitoes than...

Worst hotel!!! Never again. They stole from us!!! We accidently left a bag there with items we purchased during the stay. We called 6 times and of course... you guessed it! No one found anything. Complete lie!!! Room was damp. Smelled moldy. Very bad!!! Even toilet paper was damp. Room looked nice, but smelled so bad we tried to open sliding door to try and help but the screen door had a huge hole and the door wouldn't shut completely. No internet service at all!!! TV was bad. Service stank. They wanted $13.00 for a breakfast which was poor at best. This place is a joke!!! Rooms ... had to walk down many flights of steps. It was awful. They had golf carts, but didn't use them to help guests at all. Had to drag suitcases down to the bottom if a hill in a very bad storm. They offered no help. Stole stole stole from us. Never trust them ever!!!! I would rate a BIG FAT ZERO!!!!!!!!

Dear Dee P,

Thank you for staying with us. First and foremost, we apologize for the unfortunate incident of your losing your bag. Any property left behind in the room is always brought to the reception area when rooms are serviced. Our staff is well-trained in these procedures and reliable in following through; therefore, it is concerning that you believe there is a security issue at our property. I am also sorry for the inconvenience you faced with accessing your room and had you requested for assistance, our staff would have gladly helped with your luggage. Also, we have had our share of dampness in Maine from spring through this summer so we apologize for your experience. We will use your feedback to continue improving our services and hope you will give us the opportunity to make a better impression.

Sincerely,

Raghuraman Madhaiyan
General Manager

Patrick and Euvan at the front desk were very nice and helped my family out. Comfortable beds and amazing view ! Nice breakfast and a pool to jump in after a long day exploring. Hotel is right on the bay and has a river that runs along the side of the hotel. Amazing sunsets.

This is our second visit. Our visit two years ago was great. This time was very disappointing. Quality of rooms varies widely, so guests are advised to specify needs in advance and then check out the assigned room.

PRO:
- Fantastic view overlooking preserve
- Excellent location, near shops & restaurants.
- Clean room with comfortable bed
- Friendly, efficient, caring staff.
- Good shower w/excellent water pressure
- Convenient parking

CON:
- Safety concerns - Some rooms are accessed only by a sliding glass patio door with a finicky lock that takes tinkering to latch. Room keys are metal keys attached to a tag with the hotel name, address, & room number which seems dangerous since anyone finding the key could open the specific guest room.
- A/C needs updating on 1st floor: Before requesting a move to a higher floor, our ground floor room's carpet was wet and seal around A/C was exposed to the outside, so ants were coming in.
- No elevator - Which is a concern when carrying luggage as there are steep ramps and lots of stairs, depending on room location.
- Inconsistent Internet service - dropping unexpectedly.
- Decor was very "hodge-podge". Rooms have varied, older pieces that seem as if purchased at random. All in good condition, but makes this property look more like a cottage rental rather than a chain hotel.

This property has high potential, but needs upgrading before we would stay again.

Room tip: Quality of rooms varies widely, so guests are advised to specify needs in advance and then check out assigned room.

Good service; great views; difficult to get to rooms on lower level without any assistance from hotel personnel. Rooms clean; plenty of good towels and great bathroom, bedding, internet, tv, etc. just so darn hard to get to room with a long distance to carry/transport your luggage to vehicle especially for my wife and I, ages 66 and 70. Steep incline and difficult stairs; no elevator and again, no offer of assistance!!!

Dear Gary,

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel.

We are glad your room was comfortable and you had everything you needed for a great stay. However, we do apologize for the difficulties you had with climbing the stairs. Our staff is always happy to assist with luggage but we are sorry to hear that you had no help during your stay and will address these concerns with our team. We also suggest you contact us directly for your reservations next time and we will do our best to provide you with a room on the parking level so you can avoid the stairs.

We are glad your stay was otherwise excellent and appreciate your wonderful rating. It would be our pleasure to have you both as our guests again at Ogunquit River Inn.

Sincerely,

Raghuraman Madhaiyan

Beautiful views from outside our room. Unfortunately, the windows were very dirty and we couldn't see out them. The hotel is nice, pillows are great and shower is very nice. The breakfast is an additional charge, so we went out for breakfast. There is a resort fee which doesn't really cover anything. If you want to kayak, that's an additional charge.
