    themed room
    local exploration

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    This place is full of history and character that instantly. I loved lounging in our themed 'Double Room,' especially the old bank vault library that felt like a page out of a storybook! Plus, those powerful showers gave me the relaxation I desperately needed after a long day exploring local shops right outside.

    Strongly recommend! 😊❤️

    central attractions

    charming quaint vibes and perfect access to downtown attractions

    I loved stepping out to find amazing eateries and an awesome coffee shop just a few steps away. Wandering to nearby landmarks like the Paul Bunyan Statue and the University Maine Museum of Art without breaking a sweat was such a treat for my weekend city strolls. The staff were friendly, and they upgraded my room, making for a comfortable stay after a long day of exploring, although the hotel could benefit from a bit of upkeep since it feels old and run down in some areas.

    prime location
    friendly staff
    small room
    lack of phone
    disruptive noise

    The location is prime, with a variety of bars and restaurants just steps away. However, the room was unusually small, and the lack of a phone made the hotel's security warnings feel odd. Hearing noise from the alley below was disruptive, and despite the friendly staff, the absence of some basic amenities was noticeable.
