The Galley

Before embarking on the day’s adventure or relaxation, enjoy a fresh continental breakfast spread at our 24-hour Galley. As the fun continues, stop by at any hour of the day to pick up some complimentary snacks or extra room amenities to further enhance your stay.

Don’t Forget Fido!

A getaway without your four-legged friend just isn’t the same—that’s why we are excited to welcome your furry family members. From dog-friendly accommodations to a complimentary welcome kit, your pup is in for a relaxing vacation. We’ve also partnered with the Animal Welfare Society of West Kennebunk to aid local tail-waggers by donating a portion of the nightly pet fee.
