Down and out in Maine.

Run down and poor condition, some rooms have newer mattresses but very low quality. Breakfast is a flat out disgrace. Noisy corridors. Front desk personnel works make a great TikTok but useless for information or service. Dirt in elevator seems perpetual. “Non slip” bath mat in bathtub shower was so worn and decrepit that it was in fact extremely slippery. Shower bar almost impossible to grab and hold. Very few channels and poor choices on TV. AND ON AND ON

Room turned over before we even checked out....

Sunday morning we walked to our truck to put bags in it and came back in to hang out for a bit before leaving. When we got back to our room it was already being cleaned. We didnt check out and still had our key cards. Warning if you leave your room unattended Sunday morning it will be cleaned ragardless if they know if you are returning or not.

Our room smelled like Urine and we were woken up to ants crawling on us during the middle of the night in our bed. We have stayed at this hotel several times and appears it is slowly declining in quality. We paid $170.00 for 1 night and at BEST received a $85.00 a night room/stay. Seems like there are a lot of homeless people being boarded there. A lot of people out in the parking lot hanging around and sitting in cars as people come and go.
