Campus hotel life!
I failed to realize this hotel was on the college campus so when Maps was taking me there, which the app was taking me to the wrong building, I was a bit freaked out. The lady at check-in was super helpful. The building we stayed in is next to the building that houses check-in, the fitness room (super nice), and the market. Make sure you have your license plate number upon check-in. When you use the fitness facility don't don't be loud on the floor. Maybe after a certain hour that's fine. Mine was before six so... Overall they are cool remodeled buildings.

Great stay!
The hotel is beautiful. They have kept the charm of the historic buildings while also including all of the updated amenities you could want. We found our room to be stylish and inviting. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again if we find ourselves in the area. As an UMaine alumna it was a wonderful opportunity to revisit the campus and found the innovation and execution of on-campus accommodations to be impressive!

So convenient to stay on campus when visiting my students! Campus was beautiful too. Very cool vibe in this hotel. I stayed in an older building which was super cool inside but a little in need of a cleaning outside. I couldn’t reach my curtain without climbing on a chair because it was very high up due to age of building and breakfast and coffee is not free but it was super clean and so convenient! Would stay again!

THe stay was very pleasant. I appreciate the fact that the hotel ground is on campus which add another layer of security for comfort. There are a couple thing I would like to suggest:
1. Bathroom needs an exhaust fan to release moisture to the outside and not it hangs into the room.
2. Have a to-go breakfast bag if you can't provide a continential breakfast. To-go bag sounds great for an on-campus vibe.
Just my observation,
Thank you
