The pillows were comfortable, but the heater was annoyingly loud during the night.

It was just a balanced option for a quick stopover in Orono with best value for money ratio. The water pressure was great, perfect for a refreshing shower after a long drive. Always check if they're booked up on weekends, as they can fill up fast.

comfortable bed but limited amenities
The bed was particularly comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. The hotel grounds were surprisingly quiet, providing a nice escape from the hustle and bustle.
The hotel lacked some expected amenities for the price.

The bottled water was a thoughtful touch, and the pleasant morning clerk added a nice finish to the experience. However, I faced some frustration when I needed an extra pillow for pain relief, which the night clerk could not provide, impacting my sleep. Additionally, the hotel's dated appearance might not appeal to everyone.

The room was comfy, and I loved the wheelchair assistance after my recent surgery. I enjoyed the sauna and the outdoor BBQ area, perfect for unwinding. Unfortunately, there were no extra pillows available when I really needed them, which kept me up for a bit. Just a tip, make sure to check ahead if you need specific room requests! 😊

Staying at the inn was a pleasant experience for our family of seven. The breakfast spread was impressive, with various options that our kids loved. The staff was welcoming, and the comfortable beds made our stay feel like home. The kids had plenty of room to play.
My children wanted some kid-friendly activities to keep them entertained. It would be great if there were more options for families to explore during the day.

Spacious rooms with excellent breakfast options. The location is great for accessing the nearby golf course. Check-in service is friendly, but the dining area is too small and crowded during breakfast hours.

Family with children will enjoy this!
We had our first stay and the staff was surprisingly attentive. They even offered us extra towels and bottled water when I mentioned we were traveling with kids, which was really thoughtful. Also, the breakfast was actually good, surprisingly great variety for a hotel—waffles, yogurt, and even fresh fruit.
It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement
The location was convenient and our room was clean and comfortable. However, I missed some amenities from previous stays, especially the cookies at check-in. Breakfast options were limited. consider arriving early for a better selection. The staff was friendly, which made the experience enjoyable despite some downsides.

I visited to tour the University of Maine with my grandson and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff were very friendly, and I found the beds to be incredibly comfortable. The breakfast area was kept open, which was a nice touch for grabbing a snack later in the day. Overall, a wonderful stay and great value for the price.
