Yellow Monkey Guest Houses & Motel

The room I had was in serious need of a remodel…
It looked as if we walked into 1932!!!
Yet-​the guys that run it were very, VERY sweet (the manager/​employee was eh but maybe that was just his personality)
The price was pretty good considering it was a busy August in Ogunquit!
The location can’t be beat-​possibly add some cheap shampoo for the guests that have a bathroom ensuite?
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others — only advise… ask for a remodeled room as I heard a few rooms have been completely upgraded!

Have been staying here for years. Charming and quiet. The antiques only add to the ambiance. Updates being done every year. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Priced well and they always seem to be able to fit us in even at the last minute. My new favorite thing is the breakfast room. I enjoy hanging out in the morning, having breakfast and talking to the other quests as well as the owners and some of the staff. Will continue to visit as we always have a great time.

This place is okay but it’s just not great. It was definitely less expensive than other places we looked. It’s also a prime location to walk to everything. The negatives are that everything is a bit dated and could greatly benefit from some remodeling. I didn’t have a reservation and most places were already booked so this worked out for me.

this has got to be the dirtiest place i have ever seen or been to. the towels are about 20yrs ols and are stained. the stairs are dangerous, and the owners are perverts. thier dog is crazy and bites. it like the adams family only worse. i thought i was on candid camera.
this should be closed be the board of health. what is worse it is a disgrace to the gay community…

The Yellow Monkey is owned and managed by your too friendly hosts, Victor and Peter.
I stayed here once a few years back. These guys told me that they had no vacanty. Then they offered me a roll away in the front office, telling me that I could sleep their at a reduced rate, just be up and dressed before 8:00am when the office opens. Mind you this was Labor Day weekend and I had no other options and limited cash. I took them up on their offer and after I came in at 2:00am from the clubs I then come to learn that BOTH VICTOR and PETER are ALSO sleeping in the office with me!!! YIKES! I luckily had met a handsome guy who was also staying at the Yellow Monkey and offered me to stay with him.
About a year later, I also find out this these guys have done this before to young gay tourists. BEWARE and if you plan on staying, let them know you want a PRIVATE ROOM.
Also their idea of breakfast consists of instant coffee and powered box doughnuts from the bread isle.
