The Grand Hotel is situated in a prime location, offering easy access to Kennebunkport's attractions, making it a convenient choice for exploring the area. While the staff communicated well before arrival and were mostly helpful, the dining options left much to be desired and could benefit from a wider variety. The rooms, though cozy, felt smaller than expected, and parking was a challenge during the busy season. Overall, it's a decent stay, but there are areas that need improvement.

My stay at The Grand Hotel was truly enjoyable. The location couldn't be better for exploring Kennebunkport, with everything just a short walk away. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, making for a comfortable retreat. However, the dining options felt a bit lacking, as there’s no full restaurant on site. Overall, it’s a charming boutique hotel experience that I’d love to revisit.

I had high hopes for my stay, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. While the hotel's location is excellent for exploring the area, the service left much to be desired, and the room had some significant cleanliness issues. The value for what I paid was underwhelming, especially considering some of the amenities weren't up to standard.

The availability of bikes was a nice thought, but they were in poor condition, leading us to rent bikes anyway. Breakfast could have been more varied.

The facilities had potential, but the bikes were not functional, which was disappointing since they were advertised as part of the stay.

I had a lovely stay at the Grand Hotel, positioned perfectly in the heart of Kennebunkport, making it easy to stroll to nearby shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, especially with the delightful terrace I discovered. While the service was generally helpful, there were moments of disorganization that could be improved. The dining options were somewhat limited, which was a minor disappointment, but overall, I felt like I got good value for the experience I had.
