Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel room I stayed was new and clean. No parking was available for my late arrival so had to park in a remote lot 8-10 minute walk away. No free breakfast, the small cafe had a limited menu and closed at 10. All in all a meh stay, for what they charge it should be more upscale, have more facilities or at least breakfast.

Hidden jewel
In the heart of UMaine Orono, a pleasant surprise. Described as a new building on campus by hotel staff, the room is well-appointed. Large, clean and comfortable. Great parking, safe/secure building. A hidden jewel!

I had a disappointing stay at this hotel. The room door was extremely difficult to open, requiring significant effort to push it in. Upon entering, I was met with a strong smell of wet cement, which was quite unpleasant. The window shades were non-functional and couldn't be lifted. The shower head was broken, and the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, leading to excessive steam and constantly wet towels. Additionally, there was no breakfast included, and the coffee I purchased tasted like watered-down coffee. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

This hotel, on the campus of the university of Maine, appeared to be brand new, super clean, secure, and well appointed. We stayed there for one night at the start and two nights at the end of our trip, both rooms were similarly designed. The first room had a broken shade, stuck in the down position. Otherwise everything worked. There is a microwave, small fridge, one comfy chair with ottoman and a nice desk chair and TV in each room. A nice coffee shop with a few tasty pastries, solid coffee service and fruit offerings was steps away. One of the nicest reading rooms/lounge that we’ve ever encountered was close to the cafe. One has to drive a few miles to find a restaurant/bar/shopping. We didn’t offer a five star rating only because of the isolation from restaurants and the broken shade.

Cortland

Disliked: Amenities
No shower door/curtain, water splashed everywhere. They are asking for mold issues with these poorly designed showers. Water pressure in shower was weak. Room smelled very strongly like some kind of chemical, maybe new carpet? Very unpleasant, borderline unbearable. If I wasn’t so tired I would have left or asked for a different room. Mirrors smudgy. No wifi password or instructions given. Pillows uncomfortable. The deadbolt on the door was broken and not able to be locked, it did not line up with the hole. Overall a severe lack of attention to detail in the design of the room and the overall experience. The campus itself is beautiful and hopefully they can fix these issues and turn this place around for the better.
