Pros
- Convenient location downtown near shops, cafes, and restaurants
- Walking distance to the beach
- Delicious free breakfasts
- Small inn experience with attention to detail and personalized service
- Refreshing sea breezes (with ocean views from the top floors)
Cons
- Rooms are on the cramped side, and some are more outdated than others
- Some noise complaints from guests staying on the ground floor
- Area can be crowded with tourists on summer weekends
Bottom Line
Don't let the intimate size of the Parsons Post House Inn fool you: Most of the cozy rooms have a modern look, sporting a subtle beach theme with comfortable white linens and light sand-colored walls. The bathrooms are clean and a little cramped (counter space is practically non-existent), but they do have soft towels and good water pressure. The small but charming outdoor patio is great for taking advantage of the sea breeze coming from the beach, just a block away. If you're looking for a true Ogunquit experience, this is one of your safest bets. Note that the hotel closes during the winter months. tag:revisit 4/15/2013

Location
On Ogunquit's main drag, walking distance from shops, restaurants, and the beach
The Parsons Post House Inn is located in the thick of things in Ogunquit, a short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops.
There's no doubt that Ogunquit is one of the most picturesque seaside towns in New England: Even the town's name is Algonquin for "beautiful place by the sea." Whether you're taking in breathtaking views on Marginal Way's scenic Cliffside footpath, catching a trolley to lounge on the beach, enjoying the fantastic dining, or perusing the small mom-&-pop shops, there is something to keep everyone entertained. The town takes great pride in its vibrant LGBT community, and the year-round locals are welcoming to the tourists who come to the town in droves during weekends in the summer.
Ogunquit is a surprisingly walkable place: Most visitors won't need a car to get around town. Its location on the southern part of Maine's coast also makes driving there from Boston or other areas of New England relatively easy.
- 48-minute drive to Portland International Jetport
- 4-minute walk to the scenic seaside walking path on Marginal Way
- 5-minute walk to the beach
- 13-minute walk to the Ogunquit Playhouse
- 51-minute drive to Portland
- 1-hour-23-minute drive to Boston
