The room was large, clean and had extra chairs. Also a kurig coffee maker which is not common. Staff was curteous. We only stayed one night so did not have the opportunity to use the hot tub or pool. While breakfast was included, it was a feozen breakfast sandwich which must be retrieved at the checkin counter. There plenty of extra snacks to choose from as well. We would stay there again

Nice for a quick stopover in Portland

We had a stop on our drive home from bar harbor back to nj. It was a nice affordable option near Portland we could stay there and less than 20 min to drive downtown. Check in was fast and friendly, hotel seems kinda dated style wise but it made it more charming since it was dated but still clean and cared for.
