Rooms are large and clean. Bed is real comfy. Staff is knowledgeable of the area and so helpful. The Helm has great drinks and food. Continental breakfast is excellent. However, we were in the main building, the carpet was dirty - looking and stained. The window ac didn't keep the room cool enough due to the high humidity in the room. I would go back, but would stay in the newer section read more

This place is nice. Right off the highway. Within walking g distance to the Ogunquit Playhouse to the right and Downtown is to the left. Place is nice. It's average. Small pool Hot Tub There's a laundry room somewhere. Breakfast I heard but never tried. read more

Room is hot and stuffy. 75 degree Inn room in may, the small window a/c wont cool down the room properly.... 2nd floor room and the heat is trapped with no air movement, 10:35pm currently. Front desk attendant (nice guy) is trying to switch out the AC window unit from room 201 to our room, 203. Disappointing that it's been a long uncomfortable night... Update- I was initially going to give a one star but, have bumped it to a three... room is still not air conditioned properly but it's better. Staff here is very nice and pleasant. Unfortunately, things are getting a bit shabby at this property... treadmills in the gym are very old and border line unsafe. the fencing around the hot tub is looking very rough. hope things get better soon. read more

The shower wasn't working properly . The hot tub was broken when we came the first day . A very senior population was staying at the Inn in September and the stairs to breakfast are dangerous . Don't go if you have any mobility issues . I saw a man trip over the steps and fall . There are no guard rails on pool by the steps . The staff was rude and didn't address any issues . The front desk said that the Helm was open for drinks and lunch but no one came till after 3 . read more

We stayed at The Admiral's Inn one night. The room and bathroom were spacious and the bed was comfortable. The shower head had a leak, spewing water all over the bathroom, the toilet seat fell off of the toilet, the tv was going bad. There were green lines going down the tv screen and the picture was very blurry. The coffee maker in our room was broken. It would not turn on. There were also visible pee stains on the carpet from pets being allowed. We are dog lovers and support allowing pets but they need to thoroughly clean up the accidents that can happen if they are choosing to allow them. When we reported all of the broken items in our room at check out the staff couldn't care less and we were not offered any sort of compensation. I would not recommend this property. read more

Although online this seemed a bit more upscale, it was a very nice place. The room was large, comfortable, and super-clean. The breakfast was fine, more on the order of a comfort-inn type of breakfast, with granola and lots of cereals, bagels, breads, and pastries. The coffee was strong and delicious. The location is perfect - just a 5-10 minute walk from the center of Ogunquit. read more

Booked at last minute stay for three nights in late June. GREAT location-- walkable to everything in Ogunquit. Old school charming. Friendly staff. Breakfast was better than most chain hotel breakfasts, and coffee was good! Two pools-- one adults only which was nice. A/C was window unit... not my first choice but fine for June temps into the 80s. read more

i'll tell you the truth was the best place in a long time we got to bring our two big dogs. The room was immaculate. The people were wonderful. Would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Checking into this hotel took an unnecessary amount of time. I was asked every question I already filled out online. Address, phone, email, etc. She was actually writing it all down. Room was very dated with dirty carpets. Bathroom venting was terrible with tons of dust on it. Our room door did not close properly. Dirty pools with broken tiles falling off/ got scratched from the cement where tiles are supposed to be. Hot tub so dingy. Pool area very noisy into our room. A/c was not properly sealed so you could hear everything going on at pool. People were allowed to play music players. Saturday night into Sunday morning music playing in a room so loud until 3am! The hotel has no night staff on duty. Then at 8:30am maid vacuuming a room upstairs from ours! There is no insulation in these hotel walls, noisy af! Every employee we said hello to on property never even responded back. This is not a relaxing, friendly or clean hotel. Very disappointing. read more

Clean and comfortable for the two nights we spent there. Main building caters to adults, so it was very quiet and relaxing. AC is window units but when on coldest setting, it was cool enough in addition to the ceiling fan. There is a tiny pool and small hot tub for the adults only building. The main pool is a good size with a big hot tub with plenty of towels. The advertised fire pit and tiki bar were seemingly closed with no explanation, which was disappointing since we were there on a weekend. Seems as though late check out is not available...we asked and it was a big NO. Adjacent breakfast restaurant (Amore) was good, we ate there on the day we checked out for convenience purposes. Lobby has complimentary teas, coffees and a water cooler available 24/7. Hotel is walking distance to Jonathans' and the Playhouse, as well as downtown. We also walked to Perkins Cove at least twice in the 3 days we were there (20 minutes each way), although for some it may be too far. Laundry, gym (in basement), massage services and indoor sauna also available. read more

Shady. Allowed me to book a reservation at a great rate. Ten minutes later they call and say "oh sorry, someone else booked at the exact same time and the room is no longer available. We are totally full and have nothing available for you." Four hours later drive by and see the vacancy sign up. Call the front desk "do you have rooms available tonight?" "Oh sorry, we just booked the last one five minutes ago.". Don't know what game they think they're playing but they'll cancel you if they don't like that you agreed to the rate that THEY listed. Scummy. read more

I'm surprised by the reviews referring to rude staff. Perhaps because they're seasonal so not the same? During my four day stay: almost all staff were friendly and helpful especially Shawna, Fayona, Aldeano. My first room (Quarterdeck bldg) was nice , bright and big but there was no window, only sliding doors to the balcony which were also the room entry and the next-door guest played the TV so loud I could hear every word. I was moved to Compass Rose bldg (I think is adult only). Again, nice big room and away from the road so wonderfully quiet. The design and quality of the rooms/decor differs bldg to bldg so that may account for the mixed reviews. Compass Rose is nice, updated. I think the Flagship bldg rooms are a bit dated, more like a generic motel. Good breakfast choices: cereals, bagels, muffins, breads, chobani yoghurt, cheese, guacamole, boiled eggs, fruit etc. Lastly, great location (police station across the street so felt safe) walk to Marginal Way, town shops and the beach. Will stay again. read more

Brutal time trying to coordinate a stay to book three rooms. We needed room for one extra car (a fiat mini), traveling with our toddler and additional family member, but were told we'd need to find a pay-by-hour lot, even for tandem parking. We won't be booking. read more

We stayed at the Admiral's Inn for 4 nights recently. They use old fashioned keys instead of key cards but our room was an interior one. We stayed in the Rose Compass building and it was very quiet which is always a plus. We had 2 rooms and the kitchen area had a breakfast bar and also a table with 2 chairs. There would be room for a small sofa and a tv as the area is spacious. We overheard people while at breakfast talking about how they couldn't sleep due to the sound of kids running back and forth in the hallway their room was in. I felt fortunate we didn't have that problem. They definitely need to do some updating and the woman at the front desk agreed. Part of the formica was missing on the edge of the counter in the kitchen area of our room. Today most hotel rooms have the mini Keurigs with pods. Ours had the old fashioned coffee maker. but there was 24/7 coffee available and it was just ok. The bathroom has a very small vanity and there was mold on the ceiling above the shower. A better fan is clearly needed. Also there is an outdated tub with a very high edge you must put your legs over in order to take a shower. I recommend a handicapped room if you want a large vanity area and easier access to take a shower. Tv was smaller than expected and bed did have an older style mattress. There was an AC unit in the bedroom window and I know that's how the small bugs got in. It was very clean. The continental breakfast was just ok. We ate breakfast out 3 of our 4 mornings in Ogunquit. It's a small thing but usually there is a pad of paper with the name of the hotel and a pen or pencil at least. The bars of soap were very small so you might want to bring your own. It's in a convenient location and I just feel it needs updating. read more

I really wanted to like this business, but the manager Mark left a terrible taste in my mouth. Nice and clean, but Mark was obsessive with my group and wouldn't leave us alone. We were very uncomfortable and couldn't relax by the hotel pool/hot tub. Men be wary of this predatorial behavior by this manager. read more

Beautiful property! The room was spotless and nicely decorated. There are some things available upon request that are usually found in rooms due to covid, but not a big deal. Room had a mini fridge which was awesome. The property has a swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit. Easy check in/out. Would have loved to stay longer but we were just passing through. read more

Great spot - easy walk to everything. Great pool and bar. All staff were helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Pet friendly!

The hotel is average at best. The rooms are clean enough but very dated and poorly decorated. The hallways were dirty with dead bugs on the windowsills. The staff were friendly and the pool and hot tub were nice. The hotel is fine but certainly not worth $400 a night. I've stayed at much nicer and cleaner hotels (in good locations) for less. Booking and check in process was also confusing. read more

We've had the pleasure of staying at the Admiral's Inn several times. Once we stayed in the jacuzzi room we've never stayed anywhere else in Ogunquit. Mark and Carlena are so accommodating and friendly. It's great to have a drink at the patio bar before heading out to dinner. Walking distance to everything. If you haven't stayed at this little gem you must! read more

We had a very nice stay. Clean room, well maintained pool and grounds. The location was great, walking distance to a fun downtown area and some nice beach walks. The staff was very friendly. I will stay again! read more

Great location. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town, Ogunquit Beach, and Perkins Cove. Not an ideal walking distance for older folks or families with small children, but certainly doable for just two people. Rooms in the main building are cozy, each with its own small balcony. Our room had a king bed, two sofa chairs, mini fridge, tv, and a spacious bathroom. The two pool areas on the property were both clean and stocked with towels. We stayed during the week, so never had an issue with finding a chair at the pool. The breakfast place next door was popular. We were able to get in and out quickly since we opted for the countertop seats. Food was great. There are also a few grab and go coffee shops just up the street if you aren't looking for a sit-down breakfast. Overall, would recommend! read more

Great location, okay amenities. We came for a long weekend in early March for a birthday. Hotel was very reasonably priced. We stayed in the main building where the office is. They clearly did some updating recently, but the updates are cheaply done. We had a very large room which was great. We were at the end, so not a lot of traffic going by our room. With that said, the floor in our room was squeaky. Not just a floorboard, but the ENTIRE floor. The door knob to the bathroom was loose, a tile in the bathroom was smashed and our door to the hallway didn't latch well. It was clean, just not fancy in any way. Towels and toilet paper are cheap. It's a perfect location! Walking distance to anything in town. We loved that and would stay again just for the ease of walking anywhere. If we paid any more than we did, I would be disappointed. Overall, you get what you pay for! read more

After reading other reviews I'm laughing to myself because other people had similar problems with the staff there. I originally booked a room back in February for my friends wedding at the end of august. I was originally going to bring my dog, but decided not to, so when I called back to change to a regular room, they said it wasn't a problem and not to worry about it. So, I kept the room. When I received the invoice I saw a $35 per night pet fee associated with my account. I spoke with the woman at the front desk when I received the bill, and she was clueless and just said it is what it is basically. I just called back and spoke with the general manager, and his attitude was unreal. He picked up the phone, didn't introduce himself and didn't ask me why I was calling, he said "so you booked a pet friendly room for this fee so I don't understand what the issue is." Sir, that is not how you start a conversation. Long story short, I lost my cool on the phone. Generally the stay was just okay, the rooms were mediocre at best, very musty and outdated but this was just a glorified motel. I wouldn't stay there otherwise. No reason to. I was also very much thrown off by their liability checklist saying that they were not responsible if literally anything went wrong. Meanwhile, my friends wedding gifts were stolen. Sounds like shady business. So here I am doing exactly what I said I'd do to the GM. I'm writing a yelp review and letting everyone know, there is no reason to stay here. Expensive motel, rude staff. read more

The Inn itself is reasonably clean and convenient to town. The housekeeping staff is pleasant and accommodating. But the front desk staff and "managers" are as rude and non-customer service oriented as they come. I checked in early (had said I was coming early) and was met with a brusque respone to take my parking pass and basically just get out of their way.They had a vacancy sign out front so it seemed that they might have available rooms so I asked a few questions and the manager Colleen PUT HER HAND IN MY FACE and said they were on schedule and they would text me when the room was ready. I left and returned when the room was ready and asked to see the other manager. I asked three times throughout my stay. Each time the person behind the desk smirked at me and told me "yes, we have managers" and I would ask for him but he never contacted me. They put the message on a post it note and I was told he had been in all day the day before but failed to follow up. I stayed three days and he never attempted to contact me and was never available although the his staff claims he was onsite all day throughout my stay. After I checked out, he called my cell and waited 2 seconds before hanging up. 2 seconds according to my call log! He left no message, sent no text and made no attempt to find out what I wanted. Their customer service is really appalling. There is no reason for rudeness, no reason to avoid speaking to paying customers. Avoid this hotel. It's nothing special, basic really and their attitude is is so disheartening that you could do better in a boarding house. read more

First impression was that of the receptionist acting rudely to the person in front of us. To lighten the mood the visitors made a joke, no reaction by the desk clerk. Then our turn, same lack of emotion. Too late to turn away as we paid ahead of time. With no eye contact she told us about the coffee and tea. With lack of interest she handed us a map. Upon our room arrival, the torrid temperature and lack of ability to open a window , caused us to turn on the ac and fan. The evening brought 38 degree weather outside but 80 inside! Upon our evening return, the room remained warm and uncomfortable. We turned the ac on high for the night. No difference all night which rendered a sleepless night. The male clerk in the morning asked why we did not call- who calls in the middle of the night ?? His response was," sorry about that." The soft mattresses added to the unpleasant night at this establishment. With other options, we cross this off our list. read more

This place was fine. I expected it to be a little nicer based on TripAdvisor reviews. The family friendly building faces a parking lot. The pool is open 9-9. it's about a 10 min walk to the beach. No real complaints, but no raving compliments. The segregated children/no children setup was odd. The adults in the family friendly building were louder than any of the kids. The smoking area is right next to the non smoking building and the balconies, which is silly. read more

Imagine pulling into a hotel to eat at the restaurant at that hotel and having people immediately confront you and tell you that you can't park in one of the 200 empty spots. That the restaurant only rents there and you can not park here. She only has a small amount of spots. It is insane. I spent over a half hour waiting for a spot while my wife was waiting for a table. Finally found a spot. It is ridiculous. We had a great meal and I would highly suggest the restaurant but beg you to never ever spend I dime on this incredibly terrible hotel. It is sad that such a great place is being held back but a terrible landlord . . read more

We spent 2 nights. The place is clean. The front desk gave my partner the second key so HE would have to stay up and wait for me to arrive later . He was told by front desk no one would be at desk by time I arrived. You can hear thru the walls so bring ear plugs. They offer breakfast but were out of coffee both days and we didn't want to wait. Each guest received one towel (I like one for hair and one for body - like most women). I would go for the cheaper hotel rather than spend the extra like I did this trip read more

Nothing fancy in terms of the room, but was clean and a good walking location around downtown Ogunquit. We fared well without a car. The best touch was it is right next to a great breakfast spot, Amore, which offered a 10% discount to guests of AI. read more

Drove up from Massachusetts for the night, booked within a wedding block. The group for the wedding had all their rooms together which is nice to be near family and friends. Room was clean and modern. Rates were reasonable. Slept great in their wonderful, king sized bed and had a wonderful, long, hot shower in the morning. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Nice place really good spacious room. Most everyone was friendly and nice except the big grumpy gray haired guy at the desk. He may have been manager but did not introduce himself. He puts a negative spin on the place. I will come again but will give him a piece of my mind next visit. read more

The good: Close to town. Comfortable beds. Very clean. There is a pool and jacuzzi outside, which appears to be open all night. Adults only. The bad: No coffee maker in room. The room setup is a but awkward. Had to turn the television to see it from the bed. The bathroom fan does not work. read more

Stayed here with some friends multiple weekends, because we always want to come back. The staff is friendly and fabulous. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And with such a short skip and hop into town, what is more to want?! We always have great times in Ogunquit and the Admiral Inn makes staying over an even better experience. This is our top choice whenever we come, and we always look forward to the awesome staff and wonderful amenities for memorable times. read more

Ok, so this place is a little strange - not really as nice as a hotel and not really as small as a motel - somewhere in between. Given it was less expensive than most of the other options in town, we were pleased overall. We stayed in the adult-only building. There was no AC in the main entrance and it was very warm in the halls. The pool/hot tub closes at 9PM, which was a real bummer since it's an adult-only building you'd think there'd be a bit more freedom... The room was pretty okay - oddly everything was nicely updated but the floral curtains. Pretty dark so hard to get ready and they could really use FULL LENGTH MIRRORS. It's nothing special, but met our needs just fine! read more

Another great stay at the Admiral Inn. The Admiral Inn never disappoints. Mark and Marty are delightful hosts with a pristine resort. Every staff member is super friendly and accommodating. The rooms are well appointed with very comfy beds. As empty nesters we appreciate that one of the two immaculate pools and a block of rooms is for adults only, so peaceful! The location in convenient to all that Ogunquit has to offer. You can't go wrong booking a stay at this delightful (and very reasonable) property in one of the prettiest towns in New England. read more

Call before you make a reservation here if you're basing your decision on what you see on their website. We chose this place for several reasons and some of them were the outdoor cabana bar, the open fire pit and seating area and the on sight restaurant. We arrived at the hotel on 6/26 around 2:00. After checking in we were interested in having a drink at the cabana bar only to find out that it wasn't open and wouldn't be open during our stay. We kind of got the impression that they didn't have the staff to man it. Sooooo, no cabana bar. That evening after dinner it was a bit chilly so we wanted to check out the outdoor fire pit area. Disappointment number 2. No working fire pit. So we settled for having a drink at the indoor bar but soon found out that the indoor bar was now part of the on site restaurant which was closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays for staffing reasons. Long story short we did NOT get what we paid for and you won't either if you're expecting these amenities that are included on their website. read more

Very clean and comfortable. Marc and Marty have been very accommodating. We have been going there for five years and never been disappointed. read more

Family friendly place? Not really. Rooms were okay. Towels were ratty and awful. With the newer section being deemed "no kids" felt like we were being penalized for having a toddler with us on vacation. Restaurant was just plain awful. Had family out to dinner (7 adults one toddler). No kids menu at family friendly hotel? They were out of several things on menu as well. Took them 3.5 hours to get dinner out to the only 7 people in the entire establishment that evening. Had to leave early with toddler after two hours of waiting. Food was not good for price paid. Will never stay, eat or recommend this place to anyone. read more
