We chose this hotel to return to because it has a nice pool and jacuzzi. The jacuzzi was not functioning and we never received notification of this amenity not working until arrival. The area around the hotel has a large population of unhoused people. It was very sad for us to see with the cold weather and people living in business entries. The front desk was a mixed bag, some friendly staff and one woman who was clearly not friendly and curt in her answers to questions. The front desk also didn’t give us much help with things to do in the area. The hotel itself is nice and clean, quiet and the breakfast was really good. For some reason they don’t light the fireplace in the lobby, which makes no sense. It would make it more welcoming and enjoyable for all to have it lit. We were there 3 days and it wasn’t on at all. The hotel is close to everything. We recommend taking the Casco Bay mailboat around to the islands to see the bay and maybe even spot seals. It is steps from the hotel. Overall this hotel is good, but not great.
