How Kittery Inn & Suites is Responding to the COVID-19 Crisis

You may have heard that coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the hotel industry—and indeed, that’s true. Flights have been grounded. Weddings postponed. Girls weekends put on hold. These decisions haven’t been easy, but they’ve been necessary if we’re to curb the spread of COVID-19. Several Maine hotels have been forced to close as a result.

But we want you to know that Kittery Inn & Suites remains open!

Holiday Spirit In Kittery Maine

We didn't go total Griswold, but we did put up our decorations and tied them down real good in case we get another winter like last year. The new fences and front porch and lamp posts look great with holiday cheer. Too bad we didn't have the foresight to add outside outlets for the lights on some parts of the hotel. Anyway, come in for some Christmas cookies and Bing Crosby - it's our favorite time of year.

2288 Yards to the Yard

Pictured below is the plaque that stands outside the visitor center at the foreside entrance. We thought it was interesting that along with the notable events listed that it does not say Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, but United States Navy Yard, and on the bottom Town of Kittery. It was erected by York in Maine, so perhaps this was their bias. I don't follow the feud between Maine and New Hampshire as to where the yard is located, but for people booking our hotel who are visiting or working at the yard, we are the closest off-base hotel as the wolf runs: 1.3 miles from the location of this sign to the back entrance of our hotel at 59 Old Post Rd, or a 5 minute drive.

Celebrity Guests Break World Record

We were lucky enough to have Gunnar Garfors and his team stay with us as his start to breaking the world record of visiting 22 states in 24 hours. They stayed with us for a couple nights, then left Sunday morning bright and early at 6:20AM. They broke the record by 3.
