I literally don’t understand the bad reviews that people have left - and I am super picky when it comes to where we stay. This place was welcoming, clean, comfortable, short (safe) walk into town. Fire pits going when we came back from early supper and free s’more kits available. Our room was very comfortable & quiet. The bed was HUGE, bathroom absolutely fine. Plenty of toiletries. Breakfast was simple, but perfectly fine for an included in rate offering. Don’t be put off by the reviews where people were obviously expecting something entirely different - the Lodge at the Cove is a welcoming and lovely place to stay.

We stayed as part of a Titan tour group. Rooms here are chalets. Ours was very nice and spacious with a comfy large bed. At times there was noise from an a/c unit behind our chalet which was annoying. There was no mirror in the bedroom yet two in the bathroom one of which was sited much too low to be of any use. The tiled floors had clearly not been cleaned for a very long time, I had a shower, walked back in the bedroom and immediately had very dirty feet, not good enough.|In our room cups were provided for the coffee machine (no other plastic cups or glasses) however there were no instructions for the machine and there were no spoons or stirrers, I tried to use the machine and was just left with a stodgy mess.|The TV in the room was unusable for us, it had two remotes and apparently is based on apps yet the very limited instruction sheet given bore no relation to the screen. We found a couple of things on there but it required extra payments. Could not find any "normal" channels.|On arrival we were told of marshmallow treats available to us to toast on the fire, however we could not find them. on leaving I think I may have seen them at a box outside reception.|The hotel is rather hidden from the road and we were told that the town was a 15 minute walk away, well it took 5 minutes in our coach so I think it is actually a bit more than that.|Breakfast was very disappointing. Continental but a poor selection, limited cereals and not even bread available to toast, only bagels. For gluten free, even worse. We had to sit in the reception area for this where there were nowhere near enough seats to accommodate our party, some of us sat in the reception lounge area instead.|The bar area is not at all welcoming, has very limited stock / choice and was expensive. A G+T was $15, a beer was $8.

I can't recommend this property. It's basically an old motel where you pull your car right up to your motel room door even though they attempt to market it as a premium "Lodge". The walls are thin making a good night's sleep very difficult. We could hear everything from the room next door. The lighting in the bathroom area (it's all one room, no separate bathroom door) is yellow and dim. The bedding was a light summer blanket, no down comforter even in October. The breakfast is very weak for the price point and isn't even available until 8:15 Our room wasn't serviced every day and our friend's room was never serviced even though we pointed it out to the front desk after the first day.

Would not return.

The staff we interacted with briefly were kind and helpful. But the room wasn’t clean, there were large and multiple holes in a lot of our towels, the blankets on the bed were super thin, there were coffee grounds where the water should go in the coffee maker and I didn’t have a way to clean it well, there was no hand soap in the bathroom, the walls had large scratches in multiple places and the chairs should either be replaced or really cleaned. The blinds left big gaps in the bathroom facing the toilet and on the window on a side door so we covered it with towels.

The place is decent and has a campy kind of feel. Our room looked like the photos and appeared to have been recently updated. We had plenty of space in the king room. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired- bath fitter tub/shower and barely enough room for the toilet and shower. But, it did the job. The breakfast offered was decent- coffee, a fridge full of waters, juices, milk and almond milk; as well as muffins, bagels, cereals and packaged banana bread. The lobby area is nicely decorated and there are plenty of places to sit. The pool looked clean and well cared for. |We left our room for the day around 10 and returned at 3:30 only to find housekeeping was just arriving. We didn’t want to wait so just asked for some towels. A little disappointed to not have the room made up in the amount of time we were gone. |Enjoyed walking into town from the hotel. Zero going on when we returned for the night- s’mores packages left by check in but no campfires around were lit to make them. |Wouldn’t be dying to stay here again but it wasn’t too bad either.

The lodge was very close to the main avenue of Kennebunkport which was great and walkable within 25 minutes to all the shops. Kennebunkport is very picturesque and a wonderful place for photos. Rooms were comfortable and the beds firm, for those who enjoy firm beds. Lots of room to relax outdoors, poolside and fire pits. Lots of restaurants near by with delicious food options.
