Nice for a UMaine visitor
Nice clean comfortable hotel for a UMaine visit. Friendly and quick check in. Breakfast was fine - Jimmy Dean egg sandwiches and make your own waffles and cereal and toast - the basics. Dunkin’ around the corner.

An older hotel/ motel in a quiet setting near highway. Clean, very nice. Bedding was great. Good zzzzzzzzz’s My only wish would be better coffee and bfst. But a good bfst only 4 mins away. Great value and friendly. Bear motif includes a taxidermy bear above the front desk. Not to everyone’s taste perhaps but this is northern Maine. I recommend for comfort, cleanliness, price.

Well kept hotel with very courteous staff. Breakfast options were average. Room was large, comfortable, and clean. Hotel was recently renovated and they removed the laundry facility on the property which was somewhat inconvenient. Signs and online amenity listing guest laundry should be removed. Overall, very good stay.
