The hotel itself is a bit dated, but otherwise totally fine. HOWEVER, we went here purposely for my son's birthday so he could swim in a pool (in the winter). During the visit to the pool it was discovered that someone had pooped in the pool. So we immediately left (obviously). The hotel did not offer any vouchers or apologies for the whole situation - which left us disappointed to say the least.
Great location and very friendly staff. Easy walk to bars and restaurants.
Great place to stay and not a bad walk to other parts of the city. Our views were amazing. We loved our stay there!
No coffee in the lobby available for early travelers.
Friendly and helpful staff. Extended check out was great so thank you for that. The use of the motor assist bicycles was so much fun. Great location. Highly recommend.
Close enough to walk to everything. Good spot.
Pleasant desk service
Nice hotel. Wish there had been a fan in the bathroom
The rooms need updating. Wallpaper coming off, needs new windows.
New rooms
Only complaint I have is that there is no sitting smoking area outside . Smokers deserve some respect as well. People are smoking everywhere on the street . They look like homeless people . I don’t smoke but I feel their pain .
The room was wonderful and the view was spectacular... mostly, Shawna at the front desk was fantastic!! The hotel is close to the downtown area and easily walkable. Will definitely stay here again!
Best view of Casco Bay for a visitor. I love staying here!
The hotel is in a great location. Its within walking distance

We're sorry for the fright Mica! We take pool sanitation very seriously and sent a member of staff to the pool to assess the situation as soon as we were informed. We are very relieved to report that the item in the pool was a scrunchie and we were able to keep the pool open for guest enjoyment!
