My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, although the carpet could use some deep cleaning or replacement. The musty smell was a bit off-putting, but the accommodations suited our overnight needs. The staff was accommodating and welcoming, making our stay enjoyable. The location was convenient, especially being close to UMaine and right off 95. The dining experience, while offering nice touches, was a bit lacking in portion size. The facilities were decent, but there is room for improvement.

The facilities were fairly clean and nice, including an extra sink and vanity in the room. However, they seemed to sell out quickly when school opened.
