I have to agree with one of the reviewers: this place does require an overhaul. However, in spite of its age, the Marginal Way House is absolutely lovely. Great location, at only a few minutes walk from the beach, Ogunquit downtown and the Marginal Way. Clean and quiet with an exceptional view over the ocean. This is not our first... More

Room 11 in main house Sept 29. Checked reviews and booked here for one night. What is drab and dated in a hotel or motel is quaint and charming in a guest house, as this spot is. Enjoyed location, decor, ambience and crashing waves. Just as advertised, and better views than higher rated spots we've visited before. Perfect get away.

I should have read these other reviews more carefully before booking here! The location is great and the views are wonderful, but that's where it ends. While the staff (maybe the owners and their family?) were nice, I think that they just don't have a clue about how old, outdated, and in need of repair this place is. The bathroom... More

Waking up to the sunrise over the Atlantic made our stay to the Marginal Way house a good one. We stayed on the third floor in a room looking out on the ocean, and while the configuration of the room was a little odd with the sink by the window away from the bathroom we were happy with the place....

I chose this hotel because it was in the perfect location (it's in the center of town yet you can easily walk to the beach). And I didn't care that the place is old - the stairs to rooms are steep and narrow, the rooms are small, the furniture is older, the rooms don't have phones, the bathrooms don't have... More

The location and views are great. The property offers lots of opportunity to be outside. The walk to the beach is short. Everything was perfect except for the temperature of the ocean! Our room had a fabulous view. It would be advisable for rhe housekeeping staff to do a more thorough cleaning before turning over rooms.

The only positive comment about our stay was the location. We stayed in an appartment for 6, we were 3, small and not very clean. Our first night there, we found a clump of hair between the sheets. I've been going to Ogunquit for several years now, I will not be staying there again!!

Our family was looking for a relaxing beach vacation where we would be staying close to the water. If we were any closer to the water, we would have had to swim! The Marginal Way House and Dockside Motel delivered exactly what we wanted. The motel was the closest building to the water. We could sit outside our room, or... More

It was my second time in ogunquit, Maine and I noticed that I should have come here before. The staff is very accomodating in every way, to assure your stay is pleasantly remembered. You're just in the center of the town( walking distance). I truly believe that It's the best location in Ogunquit. The rooms are super clean, comfortable and... More
