October 2023 – “Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!”

Excellent location, a few minutes walk to the heart of beautiful Ogunquit and the beach. You’ll be greeted by pleasant scent specially curated for the Grasshopper Inn. The building is pristine, and the room was divine. I am very particular when it comes to cleanliness and this place did not disappoint. The bed was comfortable and the furnishings were picked out so well. So man nice things to say about this place, I don’t think I’d look at any other place to stay when I visit this part of Maine!!

Check out by 10 am.

October 2023 – Wish we’d stayed longer …

 Stayed only 1 night on our way to Arcadia NP but very impressed with the standard of accommodation. Spotlessly clean, modern & beautifully furnished with everything you may need. Very high attention to detail was evident throughout. Super comfy bed, powerful shower! Breakfast was continental and did the job! Would definitely recommend Grasshopper Inn if visiting Ogunquit area.

 October 2023 – Best Accommodation in Ogunquit!

 All the luxury I’ve ever wanted, loved the CLEANLINESS, Apple TV on smart TV, mini toiletries, coffee at breakfast was awesome, loved the French press option and hot waffles bonus! I have stayed a lot of different places in Ogunquit, we go here every year, now that we found Grasshopper, we will stay here every time! Highly recommend, already booked again for 2024!

October 2023 – Fabulous!

 We could not say enough good things about Grasshopper Inn!! It was fabulous, from the cleanliness, to the room service, to the staff at the front desk and the kitchen! We will definitely be back and recommend it to anybody that wants to stay in the most warming atmosphere! We enjoyed location too!!!

October 2023 – Perfect base for enjoying the area

 If I’m ever in the area again I will absolutely book a room at Grasshopper Inn again. The service was fantastic and friendly, and the room was beautiful, clean and well thought out. The Inn was full, but it was so quiet we could have been the only people in the place – they didn’t skimp on sound proofing when they built this place. There were great eating options right across the street, and everything we wanted to do in town was easily accessible.

September 2023 - Grasshopper Inn - A great place to stay when visiting Ogunquit.

The Grasshopper Inn is a fabulous place to stay. It is new, beautifully constructed, welcoming, and clean, with spacious, well-appointed suites. It is located a short walk to beaches and downtown and close to several great restaurants. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, they had some nice surprises waiting for us. I highly recommend it whether you are saying for a night or two, or a longer vacation.

June 2023 - “A Modern Take on the Classic Maine Inn”

We stayed at the Grasshopper Inn during the middle of June, 2023, which is usually when everything in Ogunquit is getting ramped up for the summer. Booking was done online, and check-in instructions were sent along, including where to park. Check-in was quick, and informative with a rundown of how everything worked, and making sure we were all set. Note that if you're checking in after 5PM, there is not someone at the front desk, so be sure to have good contact information for them to reach you via email/text.

Our room was 101 (Mare), and was spotlessly clean. It had a modern feel to it (whites/greys as the main theme), but still had some of the touches of a Maine seaside inn. If I could make one suggestion about the decor, some wall art would add a bit of vibrancy to the room. The fridge was a dorm fridge large enough to hold cans/bottles of soda, and worked great. There's no freezer, but it was not needed. The room has a pod style coffee maker, and some glassware, but no microwave. There is a microwave out in the lobby, if needed.

The wardrobe had enough space for out clothes, with 2 large drawers. That was enough room for 2 people for a 3-4 day stay. There's a patio out front with 2 chairs and a small table, facing the main street. The bathroom is quite spacious, with a stand up shower that did not lack for hot water. The bed was comfortable, and we had no issues with the temperature in the room, despite it not being summer weather outside. There were also plenty of outlets to plug into, though the bedside ones could have used a USB style as an option on the outlets.

The TV uses Apple TV for channels, and worked for what we wanted to watch at night. It also has other streaming options available, if you want to sign in using your own account(s). WiFi access was easy, and fast.

The lobby/breakfast area was as clean as the room, and has a couple of vending machines, if you're in need of a late night snack. Typical vending machine prices, but one had Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Breakfast is served until 10AM, and you should not miss it. It's a continental breakfast style, muffins/fruit/juices, but you can also get a big waffle made and dropped off at your table.

This is a good time to mention that the staff at the inn are top notch, and enjoyable to talk to. For an inn with only 7 rooms, it runs in a very professional and courteous manner, like you'd expect from a larger hotel. A lot of care looks to have gone into the inn, and the staff keep it that way.

Parking spaces are assigned per room, and I did see a loop charger on the far end space next to ours. There are tables out in front where you can sit, if you wanted to have a snack or a drink. The doors are all operated by a key code, which makes it easier to get into your room, but your code also opens the public-facing doors, which is another layer of security. Our patio door was not that style, and locked from the inside, so there were no worries there, though we did have an incident of a couple coming up and looking into our room through the door, as it is on the street level. Maybe they were curious, or had the wrong door to the inn?

With all of the praise, there are a few points for people to keep in mind when booking, though none of them were a markdown for us. The first, as others have mentioned, is that the inn is right on the main street. That is Route 1, and is a single lane road in each direction. Traffic is constant from the morning until later at night. Ogunquit in general is a busy place for traffic, so any inn along the roads will have traffic noise. We did not have trouble sleeping, as the traffic was not loud, just noticeable, with a car going by every 10-15 seconds at night. I don't know if the upper level rooms, or rooms facing the back can hear the traffic as much, but it's something to keep in mind. A fire pit would have been nice to have outside, but the location and liability may prevent it. There is no daily housekeeping during your stay, which was fine with us. We don't need fresh linens and towels every single day. If you need supplies, there is an "extras" closet on the 2nd floor. While it's a 1/2 mile to the main shops, the location is good if you want to go to the Greenery Cafe, The Omelette Factory, The Front Yard, Brickyard Hollow, etc. all within a couple of minutes of walking distance. We walk a lot on vacation, so the distance wasn't an issue for us. The location does make it easy to travel by car if you're going to see the sights.

All in all, it was a very nice stay, and the room was a great place to sit and unwind after being out all day. We look forward to staying there again.

September 2023 - “Lovely alternative to hotels”

This is not a hotel but truly a boutique Inn and it’s lovely! There are only seven rooms which makes for a very quiet experience. No doors heard opening and closing, no loud voices in the hallways. Our room consisted of a spacious two queen bedroom with very comfortable beds and pillows, kitchenette, and separate sitting room. There are large flat screens in both rooms. The bathroom is spacious with a large and modern walk-in shower. As seniors we appreciate walk-in showers as opposed to combo tubs. Everything is immaculate. The decor is modern and fresh. There are windows in every room letting in lots of light. The common area is large with lots of windows and light, looking out at greenery and the main road. The coffee is excellent. The breakfast is standard with bagels, muffins, etc. You can request a waffle which will be prepared for you. The location is walkable to the town center. Only downside if you have issues with stairs, there is no elevator and only two first floor rooms. This was such a nice alternative to your typical hotel.

May 2023 - Fantastic Stay

I cannot recommend Grasshopper Inn enough! The Inn is only a few years old but looks brand new. Our room did not have any signs of wear and tear and it seemed like we were the first ones to ever stay in the room because of how clean it was! Each room has a reserved parking spot which is a great benefit. The location is great only a quick 5 minute walk to the downtown area with a ton of restaurants and stores, and a quick 15 minute walk will lead you to the beautiful beach. All of the staff that we encountered were helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to returning to Grasshopper Inn.
