This property was rated as Exceptional and while I understand this rating comes from guests and not from the Inn, I think it is important for other guests to know that there is nothing exceptional about this place. It is a low budget operation, as my husband would say. Cheap or average at best. Coffee station on room didnt have all needed. Small bathroom, tiny shower, not very clean. Yellow/brown stains on white caulking. No place to put toiletries or hang towels/clothes. And if one gets the first/bottom floor, you have to endure guests on the floor above dragging furniture, luggage or whatever at any time. After 9pm I think there should be a "quiet time", "respect to other guests". Very unconsidered. They were nice to allow us to keep our vehicle while we went shopping after our check out. We used the space for couple of hours and they had muffins which my husband loved. Also, pushy with leaving a tip for housekeeper, which we did, but we felt, just an envelope is enough. The Venmo sign was over killed. Do one or the other, not both. We come every year, couple of times a year, but we wouldnt stay there again.

Thank you for your review. We apologize that you did not enjoy your stay. As you mention, we are reviewed as 'Exceptional' and work hard for that rating as was the case received today both before and after your review, but we understand not everyone can be pleased all the time. We do wish you well in your travels. Also, just to clarify, our housekeepers work very hard and it is reflected in our reviews when it comes to cleanliness. I created the Venmo so that guests who do not carry cash, something that is becoming less frequent these days, can leave a tip if they desire. You are the first to comment negatively about it, rather everyone seems to think it helpful and something they plan on recommending to hotels they plan to stay at in the future. I apologize if creating an alternative to cash was off-putting to you.

Clean, comfortable, and convenient.
It was one of the cleanest places that I've ever stayed at. The help was very welcoming, and available for any questions that I had. The pastries that were offered each morning were wonderful. It was conveniently located so that it was possible to walk where ever you wanted to go.

The trunk.
The room was small and they had this large steamer trunk in the room for no reason. Wasted space.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023
Response from Jesse on Aug 25, 2023
Hi Russell, yes the trunk is actually a favorite of many guests who appreciate the period detail furniture of our 1850s restored farmhouse. Rather than the run of the mill luggage rack, guests use the trunk as a neat alternative. Next week we have guests who return every year for 10 days and request the room you stayed in. We work hard for our guests and the ratings here at the Abalonia so I am disappointed that the trunk earned us a 6.

Thank you for the review Matt. If you don't mind, please give me a call sometime to let me know the maintenance needs around the property that are unaddressed. We pride ourselves on the property and the reviews mention it so if something is amiss, I would like to know. We do hope to see you again at a later date so we can have the opportunity to make amends.

We had a 3 night stay in a noisy dark room with a running toilet. We addressed the toilet issue with one of the innkeepers but the problem still persisted. Bathroom had one working bulb in a 4 bulb fixture. Shower was small and narrow. Room was near the stairwell so we heard creaking into the late night. Avoid Room 11.

Response from Jesse on Jun 29, 2023
Hi Barbara, I apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. I personally attended to the running toilet issue when we first heard about it and thought I had fixed it since it did not continue to run and we did not hear anything further during your stay. Housekeeping did note that the do not disturb sign was up for the duration of your stay so we would have been unable to know unless it was brought to our attention that a bulb was out until they serviced the room after your departure which indeed turned out to be the case. Again I apologize for the inconvenience. We strive for 5s and anytime we let a guest down we look at what we could have done better so we appreciate your feedback.

A tiny spot, but a great location
Abalonia is a great location - walking distance to all my fav spots! The room was nice, floors are gorgeous hardwood. The only thing was the 3rd floor setting. It’s a long way up and a bit tight at the top. The room was small up there- and it seemed like we were one of a few guests so I’m not sure why we were put up in the tower. Ha!

Hi Lisa, Thank you for your review. Yes we were in fact busy during your stay and had only 3 rooms available in the main building. It is hit or miss sometimes when it comes to putting guests in various locations around our property. Some prefer lower floors, others higher. We do hope to see you again and if so, please let us know beforehand if you have a preference as to what floor you would like to be on.

The Abalonia is terrific! Great location, clean, well-maintained, quaint inn of about 25-30 rooms. Super convenient to everything in Ogunquit, easy on-site parking, lovely heated pool and hot tub. And the staff (family-owned) could not have been nicer. We stayed in a second floor room with a king bed, and we liked it very much. Highly recommend the Abalonia!
