Port Inn & Suites Kennebunk, Ascend Hotel Collection  

In Kennebunk on Maine’s southern coast, a short drive from beaches and just minutes from Gardens at Historic Wallingford Hall, Brick Store Museum and Dock Square. Easy access to Mother’s Beach and the Seashore Trolley Museum makes this a handy base for coastal exploration.

A mid-size Kennebunk hotel with 46 individually decorated, air-conditioned rooms. Expect in-room microwaves, refrigerators, iPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs, private shower/tub bathrooms, desks and coffee/tea makers. Cribs/infant beds are available on request, so it works well for family-friendly stays.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, park easily with free self-parking, and lean on daily housekeeping. Wireless internet keeps you connected and the front desk staff can help with local tips—wake up near the coast and get right back to exploring.

A business center and lobby newspapers support work needs, and the staffed front desk can assist with arrival details—contact ahead for late check-ins. Onsite parking adds convenience for road warriors.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Rooms have coffee/tea makers, and Dock Square and nearby spots offer more breakfast and dinner options within minutes.
