Comfort Meets Convenience Near the Southern Maine Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, Hampton Inn By Hilton & Suites Kittery offers a restful stay just off US Route 1 in Kittery. With clean, spacious rooms, a reliable 3-star experience, and easy access to southern Maine’s coastal concert venues, this hotel is a great base for catching a show and unwinding afterward. Guests enjoy free WiFi, a fitness center, and an indoor pool—all just a short drive from the Portsmouth music scene and Ogunquit’s performing arts spots.

Why Concert-goers love it

You'll be within 20 minutes of live music staples like the Ogunquit Playhouse and downtown Portsmouth venues.

The 24-hour front desk is ideal for late-night arrivals, and with check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility to sleep in post-show. Free parking makes driving to and from shows a breeze.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests love the free hot buffet breakfast, perfect for late risers. Kittery’s Route 1 has plenty of casual eateries and diners within a mile. For post-concert cravings, several spots nearby stay open late, and the friendly staff is quick with recommendations.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn't offer live music or a bar, you're less than 15 minutes from downtown Portsmouth’s bars, lounges, and music venues. Prefer to stay in? The hotel has a cozy shared lounge space—a relaxed spot to recap the night with friends.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the spotless rooms, friendly staff, and the peaceful atmosphere. Many mention the location as a big plus—close to Portsmouth and Ogunquit but away from the crowds. The indoor pool is a popular bonus for relaxing before or after a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers wish there were more dining options directly on-site, and while the area is generally quiet, having a car is helpful for nightlife. Still, it’s a small trade-off for the calm, clean environment.
