We like to stay here when in Brunswick. This room had a bathroom air vent in the ceiling that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. It’s not hard to wipe it down or vacuum it.

Our room was lovely. The idea of the "to go" breakfast was great, especially if it keeps the cost of "room service" down. We didn't mind having to go to the front desk to pick it up, but my husband's "Danish" was tiny. The hotel's location makes it quiet and convenient to downtown Brunswick. All in all, we enjoyed our weekend!

The Federal is ideal

Catching up with friends in Brunswick and wanted comfort, access to 555 Restaurant and downtown (walking distance), and dog friendly. The Federal is the perfect spot for it all. Walk down Water Street to trail and dog park. Ideal.

Not sure about acrepeat

Pillows were insufficient (too flat). Fire alarm went off 5 times without warning. And the breakfast order was unsatisfying.

We booked our stay at The Federal just because it looked nice and seemed like a good price. What we discovered was a wonderful and chic hotel with an extremely comfortable room in a completely remodeled hotel. We’ll definitely stay at The Federal again.
