When you walk in the place, it is a warm cozy atmosphere. A large container of hot, delicous soup awaits you, along with lemmonade, coffee and ice cream. The place is very clean, very close to Route 95 and Orono/Bangor. You knew you were in Maine when you checked into this place. Wondeful find

The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. However, we could not sleep due to the upstairs having an extremely thin ceiling. We could hear every footstep. I asked to be move but the front desk said they were sold out. I am sorry to say but next time in Orono, we will not be staying at the hotel.
