While I was in Maine, I wanted to travel to the northern portion along the Canadian border. Hotels are few and far between where I was looking to go, so I found this Inn on TA (all excellent reviews). The price was AMAZING (only $85.23 for Oct. 11, 2013), so I made my reservation. When I arrived, I was in love. It is a beautiful, 100-year-old home that is filled with so much charm and warmth. It had these gorgeous hardwood floors and was decorated with cool antiques like old phonographs and, of course, old irons. You look around at all these beautiful things as if you were in a museum. The house is very welcoming - like your own home would be, only better! The Innkeepers, Kate and Kevin, are exactly what you would expect of people who live in Maine; they were nice, and friendly, and beautiful, and were very interesting to talk to. When I was led upstairs to my room, I could not believe my eyes (right away, I realized I had made a mistake in only staying for one night). I wanted to live there forever. My room had a big, queen bed, and there was a twin bed on the other side of the room. There was a private bathroom (all the rooms have private bathrooms for spoiled Americans such as myself). The bathroom was very spacious with wonderful, fluffy towels and a nice shower (no tub, just shower).The room was beautifully decorated with more antiques. I loved everything from the furniture, to the glass doorknobs to the windows! When I crawled into that bed at night, I could have sworn that those delicious sheets had been ironed; I have never experienced such comfortable bedding! My room and bathroom were immaculately clean, as was the rest of the Inn. On the second floor (where all the rooms were) there was a little sitting area with a frig and books and other things you might find yourself needing. It's a nice little area to just go in and curl up with a book. The next morning I woke up to the aroma of the most amazing breakfast. There were other guests there too, and everybody sat at a big table and talked and enjoyed this marvelous breakfast that had been prepared for us by Kate. She uses real china, and real coffee cups! There were muffins, any kind of cereal, wonderful scrambled eggs, toast with jam, coffee, a big variety of teas, etc. - you definitely do not come away hungry. It was such a lovely experience. I live in a very fast-paced city where it is hard to find nice people There's too much traffic, too many people, too much trash, too much of everything. When I visit a town like Caribou and meet people from other walks of life, I am enchanted. Visiting this wonderful town, and staying in this Inn makes me want to move to Caribou and live like they do; it made me see life from a different perspective. Unfortunately, my time was up and I had to leave. If I ever find myself in the northern-most area of Maine again, I will most definitely stay here again; but, next time, I will stay much longer - if they will have me. I loved the innkeepers and their beautiful, warm home. Can you tell I loved it?! p.s. There is good free wi-fi and plenty of free parking. No TVs in the rooms, but you won't want one.

But I also realized most reviews are over a year old. I am happy to report that the hotel has gone through a sizeable renovation. Parking was great. Big lot in the back, lots of spaces. We had booked a room for two nights for the eclipse over a year ago. We had likely the smallest room in the hotel; corner room at the end of a long hall. But it was great for our needs. The Queen bed was VERY comfortable and the pillows, while small, weren't the flimsy things you see in most hotels right now. The mini fridge was much larger than anticipated; we tend to travel with our soda stream and it fit 4 of our bottles in the fridge as well as sandwich supplies. We also both use a lot of electronics and there were plenty of outlets, including USB outlets, so we were all set. The one thing I would say is our room has a bit of an odor to it, however, it was over 60 degrees so the AC kicked in for a bit while we were napping; I'm willing to be it hasn't been run in 6 months so that's very likely the culprit and not enough to lose a star. A very nice boutique hotel. Would highly recommend. Probably one of the most comfy beds I've slept in for a hotel in a while.

We ordered fish and chips, and scallops - both arrived significantly over breaded and overcooked. I turned the scallops back before the dish touched the table and the waitress immediately said, "because they're burnt?"...so she already knew that they should not have been served. And unless the cook was fully and totally untrained, they also knew it when they plated the meal and tried to foist it off on me. The haddock in the other meal was also overcooked - my husband was hungry enough that he elected to pick off the (heavy and too-dark) breading and just eat the fish. The quality of the haddock under the breading was fine, but it's too bad it was so unappealing as it was prepared. I was polite, I said I didn't want a replacement nor anything else. I also tipped our waitress more than 20%. I like to think that is a decent way to handle such a situation. I wish the staff had been equally civil. And now what follows is where poor food preparation/presentation moved into pathetic service. The manager (?) then came out to the table immediately adjacent to ours to ask how that customer's food was and when that customer said his sandwich was good, the manager then very loudly replied "oh thank you for the compliment!" while giving us the side-eye. Passive-aggressive to the max. If you think he was professional enough to address us and apologize that we were dissatisfied or ask for a way to make it better, or even to toss out an insincere sorry-you-feel-that-way kind of apology, you would be sadly mistaken. I'm sorry that the gentleman wasn't professional enough to try to salvage our experience because now instead of a poor meal/kitchen mistake, it was compounded into a rude, childish and passive-aggressive interaction that has ensured that we will never return and made me want to do this negative public review instead of having a brief interaction on-the-spot. (And in case anyone thinks this is some snotty condescending tourist- I'm from Maine and have family and friends in the area and I always embrace local and humble. But rude and dismissive is not the right vibe to set in a service industry.)

There seemed to be staff everywhere, and every single person we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Everyone made a point to say hello or good morning, which really stood out to us. They also have a great restaurant and bar on site, along with a pool, which makes everything very convenient. The hotel is also in a great location. We were comfortable enough that we actually extended our stay, and we would absolutely stay here again. We're looking forward to seeing all of the updates once the renovations are complete!
