Location is close to main downtown area, although you do have to cross a busy road. 555 North Restaurant is located in the hotel and has good food. Brunswick is a nice enough town; Bath is more interesting and closer to some of key attractions.

Spotless, comfortable and well decorated. No tub but large bathroom with a nice shower. I was going to complain about the lack of a coffee maker in the room until I found out a large heated urn is kept in the hall each morning. A very enjoyable stay.
