Very friendly and clean. Beautiful decor for the holiday; felt cozy. They were gracious enough to have our bagged breakfast earlier than usual to accommodate our morning departure. Close to Bowdoin, restaurants and shops. Only regret was not dining at the restaurant. Next time!

Property was clean, room was comfortable. The only downside we had was the shower is pretty small. The staff we all very pleasant. We had a very late check in do to our flight and when we arrived the front desk already had our paperwork together which made things easier and faster. Overall we plan to stay again

It was a joy to stay in a "non-big box" hotel: the room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, the whole space was beautiful, and the whole vibe was wonderful. Delicious coffee was available in the hallway on each floor starting at 6 am--even better! We hope to stay here again!
