    A/C didn't reach the bedroom so it was very warm at night. Bathroom setup was a little weird and the shower was kinda small.

    Great location. Lots of space. Very clean.

    The floors were noisy and sqeky. If you have people on the 3rd floor then it's gonna be very noisy downstairs. The floor are not well maintained

    Unfortunately, the cafe was closed and this was not advertised on the booking.com site. We were excited to dine downstairs as we'd eaten there before. Limited dining in immediate area, what we did find to eat was sub par likely due to staffing in winter and pandemic.

    Suite was wonderful and clean.

    We had a room facing the Main Street, therefore noisy due to cars and heard all the music from the restaurant between 4:00 and 9:30pm. Can also hear neighbors.

    Rooms very clean and with character, nicely done and kept

    No staff available. Room reservation tape to entrance door. Phone number on door for questions. Problem is I was from out state and Phone was in roaming, could not use it there. Not the best setup for check in.

    Location is in the "center" of small town. Restaurant next door was nice and food was good. Room was very good and big bathroom,all very clean. Coffees in room, super to have since there is no breakfast offered. Supermarket just outside of town, 5 minute drive.

    Well to start I booked this room for the night of my birthday after travelling 1700 miles to see this area of Maine. I specifically wanted a pet friendly room I could leave my dog in comfortable for an hour while I got my first lobster dinner. This place appeared to check both boxes but not only are they unclear on the listing here about their restaurant hours (i was here April 24 they don't open it until june) but when I mentioned in conversation I wanted to leave my dog just for a bit I was told pets aren't allowed unattended in rooms whatsoever not even in a crate, nor even allowed on furniture? Kind of defeats the entire purpose of a pet "friendly" hotel. I suppose they don't want to hear dogs barking through the very thin walls but don't seem to mind you can hear the uh, other adults having extra curricular activities in the night through those thin walls. Anyway I had to order takeout for my birthday while my dog waited in my truck, got back to the room and had been relaxing on the bed for a good hour when I noticed a literal blood stain on the comforter next to my head so I stripped the bed entirely, brought in my own bedding from my converted truck camper I should have stayed in for free, and took a shower immediately. If you decide to stay here anyway be aware the water temp panel in room 2 is on backwards, cold is actually hot and hot is cold. And the final frustration was the morning after, theres a note near the door when you arrive saying they are not currently doing housekeeping while guests are in room and to call if you need anything. Well check out is 10am i set an alarm for 930 to get up and get out quickly. Here they come knocking on my door around 9 am waking me up before I was ready by sending my dog barking asking if I need housekeeping! Thanks but the rude wake up call was the cherry on top to this terrible stay.

    Location was about the only decent thing unfortunately

    The shower was wonderful if you like to shower in the size of a coffin! Lady's don't both even bringing a razor to shaver your legs! Not gonna happen. The floors creek pretty bad. The stairs are very wide and many of them. No elevator. The neighbors were pretty loud our last night. We could hear the restaurant noise below while trying to sleep, and a dog barking. The ceiling fan had a light bulb out, and dust hanging from the blades. Marty did clean the blades as soon as I called her about it. The little side table lamp had a wobbly base and light bulb. definitely a fire hazard! The cabinet door had been broken before we got there. Marty told me they would get it fixed on Monday, but it never did get fixed while we were there, even though I told her they could come in to fix it. Be ready to travel for breakfast!

    Location was fine.
