The hotel is right on the University of Maine campus and made our visit super convenient. The rooms are large, clean, and modern. Our room looked brand new. There is a cafe on sight with great coffee and yummy quick breakfast options. It was a 7 minute walk across a gorgeous green field to the Admissions Office. They hotel staff let me park there while we were taking the campus tour. I would absolutely stay there again.

I would give Ursa a 5 star rating except for one thing. No good coffee maker in the room. I'm here on business and they don't serve breakfast or coffee until 7 AM -- I have to leave at 7:15 for work. Most hotels offer some kind of free breakfast these days. I don't mind that they do not....but the room needs a good quality coffee machine not the tiny plastic one cup style with bad coffee packets and powdered cream. I think most travelers agree that a good cup of coffee is essential to start the day. Also consider that the front desk and food/bar is in a separate building. In the winter it's dark and below freezing (or a rainy day) and you have to go outside and walk to the building. Upgrade the in room coffee and you have a fantastic spot.

Convenient spot if visiting UMaine. Rooms are nice yet small. On the down side, there is very limited parking. Felt lucky to find 1 spot. We were put in a room that was in a different building from the check-in. Since there are only 7 parking spots at the building we were sent to, it required a lengthy walk in frigid temperatures and windy conditions. Not ideal.
