Staying in Ogunquit

Ogunquit is a small coastal town in Maine, and this shortlist gathers its 3-star hotels: inns, motels and resorts that line Main Street and Shore Road, with several a short step from the beach itself. Addresses run from Grasshopper Lane and Berwick Road through Main Street to Shore Road and Beach Street, so wherever you stay you are within the town's compact centre rather than out in the surrounding countryside. The mix suits different kinds of trip. Couples tend to favour the smaller inns, such as Grasshopper Inn, Puffin Inn, Moon Over Maine and Scotch Hill Inn, some of which serve breakfast. Families are drawn to the resorts with pools, family rooms and kitchens, among them Pink Blossom Family Resort, Sea Rose Suites and Meadowmere Resort. Business and short-break guests have the larger properties with front desks, fitness centres and restaurants, like Anchorage by the Sea and The Admiral's Inn Resort.
