The staff were super accommodating. We were going to be late getting there, so we called and they set it up to where our key cards were accesible after the front desk closed. The room itself was comfortable and clean and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely will be staying here again.

We came into town for a family funeral, and this cozy inn was perfect for our needs. The room was beautiful, the woman at the front desk was friendly and accommodating, and the view was SPECTACULAR!! We'd definitely come back and stay here again, hopefully when it's a little warmer!

LOVE that it is right on the river! Nice walking path along the whole riverfront. Very small, quiet, post card like town! Few places to eat in just a minute walk. View at night of the Penobscot Bridge is beautiful. Sunrise shines up Fort Knox in the morning! So peaceful. The woman that was at the front desk when we arrived was very friendly and welcoming!
