The hotel is still new and everything in the room was new. The room was pretty big. The bathroom was large and shower was modern. The bed was comfortable.

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!
