We had a good stay, unfortunately voices from the other rooms and hallway were definitely noticeable from the inside of our room. But our location was within walking disoriented places of interests.

Staff were very nice and very accommodating. We paid for the convenience of this hotel’s location. It is pretty tired and the rooms & bathrooms are showing some significant wear and tear. Hampton Inn bedding is not very nice. It’s enough to make me want to switch from Hilton to Marriott (Hampton vs courtyard - courtyard’s bedding wins every time.)

The location of this property makes shopping and dining very walkable. While the overnight parking is pricey it is competitive with the options in the area. The pool is a nice option for the kids to spend some time. The breakfast is convenient and tasty. Our biggest complaint though was the beds were not comfortable. They are in need of a refresh or replacement.

Hotel was OK, definitely needed some attention to conditions. Would not be my first choice for a hotel on my next visit to maine. Elevators were out of order the majority of our stay and not marked properly, valet staff was very rude.

This place was so dirty and gross. Do not stay here. We didn’t even have bedding on one of the beds and when I asked for sheets, they first gave me a towel sized blanket, then 7 pillowcases, then 2 fitted sheets. They said they had no more sheets, blankets or pillows at the hotel. The lock on the door did not work. Do not stay here.

The hotel was great! We parked with the hotel valet and never needed our car due to the great location to everything! The room and breakfast was wonderful. Our only complaint was the pillows. Very smushy. Need a couple firmer ones. The front desk attendant said we could have asked for a foam pillow. Well worth the stay!!
