The Daniel, Brunswick

This was my second stay at The Daniel and I think it is really charming. The location is convenient, and the room was quiet and comfortable. I wish the restaurant's hours were expanded a bit (and frankly the staff in there each time who informed me they were closed could have been friendlier). It is such a cozy space but I was not able to enjoy it. I also wonder about the elevator. It's not an issue for me, but last December I noticed it was out of order as it was this time as well. I wonder if it ever works? Still, the next time I'm in Brunswick I intend to stay here - overall it is very nice.

A lovely older hotel undergoing some renovations. The front desk was very accommodating as we got there 1t 1100 and was hoping to find an empty room. We were upgraded to a king size and were very pleased. They were having trouble with the heat to the rooms so every room had a space heater which kept us nice and toasty. The continental breakfast was very limited and could have used some instant oatmeal besides the cold cereal boxes.

Lovely location. Sadly, the elevator was out of commission, and we were already committed to stay there. Add to that, the fact that the ice machine was in the basement🙁.

I want to disclose that I am not a complainer but I want to warn you of a few things. We stayed overnight on 10/12-10/13. The price was pretty expensive $236 for the night and it really was not worth the price. Don't get me wrong the rooms were pretty and bathrooms all were renovated but the mattress were springy, u can feel the springs and my husband and I actually woke up with pain. There was NO working elevator which was not disclosed when booking.. There is only one ice machine and it's in the basement! Ps the rooms have no heat, we had a portable heater, thankfully we like the cold so we did not use it, we had the windows opened!! The offered continental breakfast and it was CRAP!! They offered yogurt they put in mason jars, small containers of blueberries and granola, coffee with cream as the only option and bagels and cold hard boiled eggs and orange juice. The options were definitely less than a normal continental breakfast. We ended up going to a diner for breakfast!! The one perk was the hot tub. You can reserve to use it so only the only ones there during that time. The sauna is in the same room as the hot tub. I could not use it as it was not functioning or they either turned it in right before we got there and it did not have enough time to warm up. The bar was GREAT AND deserved 4 stars for service, staff, food and it's presentation. If your thinking about staying here, go elsewhere the pretty room does not cutting it!

I stay at The Daniel frequently for work but haven't been there in a few months. It's consistently been my favorite hotel but I may need to update that with the new changes they've implemented: 1. Please bring back the breakfast! It was so nice! The new breakfast is just blah and with less options. 2. Please bring back the old toiletries in the bathrooms! The new ones smell like cleaning products (not in a good way). The new ones seem cheap in their little plastic holder on the counter. 3. What happened to all of the staff I know and love? There wasn't anyone at the check in desk when I arrived. A note said they would be right back but after 10 minutes of waiting, I went looking for someone. I found someone in the bar, who apologized and explained someone had left. Not ideal though. 4. What is with the new music in the lobby and breakfast area? The old music was quieter, classical, and relaxing. 5. Do you not clean the back stairway on a regular basis anymore? I understand that the elevator isn't currently in use and the stairs are having more use than usual but the rooms are cleaned to a super-high standard (thank you, Olivia!) and the very dirty back stairs on this visit were disappointing and pretty gross. Please consider returning to the old ways!

The elevator was broken so I had to haul my luggage up a large flight of stairs, BUT they did help me. Then there was no heat or air conditioning available. They said it was the in between season. I had them bring me a fan second night. The room was great and the bed comfortable.

Comfortable bed and a good location! Lack of detail there were two of us, only 1 bathrobe and 1 coffee cup, ac made a squealing noise, pet friendly so did get a little bit of dogs barking and some traffic noise our room was on the highway side. Not horrible but have paid way less and had better.

The hotel should let it be known that they have no elevator. We had a third floor walkup with two large bags, and it was not fun.

I'm thinking perhaps this hotel was once great. But it's had it's day. Desperately in need of serious updating, the beds are old, fragile, and squeak like crazy. The ceilings are stained with water damage. Everything is faded and worn down, looks and feels old. There was no AC as advertised, just a stressful fan in the room which made a lot of noise (old building, 3rd floor, the room was 87 degrees, no joke). The room was terribly small, no coffee maker, nothing that in any way made it feel superior to (or even on par with) a local comfort inn or even red roof inn. The elevator was still being used, although it had failed to pass inspection for the past couple of years. We ordered room service from the restaurant onsite. It tasted great, although the portions were terribly small for the price and we felt ill later. We asked for a refund and departed. At over $200 per night, this place is scandalous. If you are looking for a classy, romantic getaway, this is NOT it. Stay away!

Overpriced for the condition and location of facility. Breakfast not good. Staff friendly and helpful
