There are lots of good things about this inn. The location is terrific -- a five-minute walk up to…read moreL.L. Bean and other shops and restaurants. The staff is super friendly (thanks Jamil), our room was spotlessly clean, and the AC worked fine and quietly. Our concern was mostly with the breakfast -- a hot buffet for $15 which offered a rather limited selection and seemed a bit overpriced. Plus we didn't care for the coffee. There is a lovely outdoor sitting area and a very good fitness center. The pool is heated, it is claimed, but we would call the result lukewarm at best and a little discouraging for those of us who prefer truly warm water. And no hot tub. BTW, there is a railway track that runs behind the hotel, and Amtrak trains apparently come thru a couple of times a day. Happily for all, the trains do not blow their horns, only ring bells. Thank goodness! So, a mostly good experience here with a couple of things we wish were a little more attuned to us.

Great location, lots of parking. 6-minute walk to LL Bean, there's a Domino's around the corner…read more.. There's an historic chapel that people get married at on site. Going at the early days of January has its downfalls being so cold. However, in the warmer months, it's nice to see the string lights & fire pit outside. We were able to check in nearly 2 hrs. early, likely due to the off-season / Hilton Honors. A quick phone call was it all it took to confirm if we could come early, as we were ahead of schedule. Sonia deserves kudos for being so responsive, friendly & goes above & beyond. Not only did she let us check in early, but she gave us information on local restaurants & their in-house restaurant's hours of operation. She was also the one to answer my text messages that I received as a 'welcome'. Great customer service & patience. Few things to note for why I gave 4 out of 5 stars: - The indoor pool is heated but the water itself is lukewarm. - The towels for the pool were 'crunchy' / not soft. - Our room (226) was comfortable & relatively clean, however: -- The last people that stayed left greasy handprints / marks from their heads on the headboard -- The shower was sketchy in regard to the shower head having a build-up of calcified hard water & pink around the caulking. As far as breakfast is concerned, it's $14.95 for a very basic buffet. I paid a little extra for 'free' breakfast. Nice dining area, food prepared very well. Nice staff. Overall, nice stay & great for groups based on my observations.

We stayed in townhouse 5. We were told the townhouse could sleep up to 8 people. That is not…read moreaccurate. This unit has 1 full bed, I do not think it is even a queen, and 2 single beds. So that is four. That leaves a pull out sofa in the main room. AND there is only ONE BATHROOM. The main bedroom bed did not have a frame. In fact, none of the beds had bed frames and there is no art on any of the walls, so the pictures on the website are not accurate. The closet door was completely missing in one bedroom. There was a nasty red stain on the carpet in the big bedroom. There was a broken tie rack in one closet. The kitchen looks like it was last renovated in the late 1980s. The rear entrance does not lock securely, the back door has a note on it on how to lift the handle to get the bolt to lock. The kitchen had a table with only two chairs. So you and your guests will not be eating together. There were three other mismatched chairs scattered around the unit, and none of those were the right height for the kitchen table. In the living room there was a dehumidifier grinding along. There seems to be a drainage issue with the whole complex. The front window by the front door was missing a curtain. Another curtain wasn't hung properly. Neither television worked properly, as the internet connection kept glitching. There was a scarred desk in the living room. The showerhead in the one bathroom needs to be replaced. I did not find this townhouse adequate for adults. I give three stars because of the building and grounds, very pretty, and within walking distance to downtown.

Since being acquired by a hotel chain, the inn is now tired and inhospitable. For example, we were given a room with a bathtub directly next to the bed.

Maine has many lovely places to stay. This is not one of them.

You can enjoy coffee and the company of Jay, his family, and other guests sitting at a huge communal style table in the dining room while chef makes delicious breakfast fare.

WEBSITE & BOOKING A ROOM: - Mapped out website to understand more about the inn & policies. - Easy to navigate, view room availability & select desired room. - Wonderful photos of each room with sq. ftg. noted. - Lots of information of what's around / things to do in the area. INNKEEPERS: - The level of communication is great. I had sent an email with additional questions & was answered timely. They also use a method of texting as well as leave their phone #'s. - We paid for a 12pm check-in & Dave greeted us. He gave a tour & a mini history lesson about the building, which was so interesting! - Kelleigh waited on us for breakfast & was delightful. She'd engage in quick conversation & swiftly served us each course. THE ROOM (#4 - PERMQUID POINT LIGHTHOUSE): - Super clean, cozy & romantic. - The queen bed was comfortable with many layers of sheets, a down comforter & quilt-like blanket on top. - The (2) chairs by the window served as a nice area for me & my husband to enjoy a beer from the "Big Brewstah" keg & chat. - There are robes with slippers which make the stay all the more comfortable. - The thermostat is programmed, but it's allowed to change the temperature. - There isn't a mini fridge in the room (not sure if there are in the other rooms). 3-COURSE BREAKFAST: - Served ONLY between 8am to 9am (as long as you arrive in that hour). They do ask if there are any dietary restrictions prior. - As previously mentioned, Kelleigh was our server & hostess. - The hot coffee is French pressed & packed with flavor. - Dave has some serious cooking skills & we appreciated the use of locally sourced, fresh ingredients. - It was a very filling & delicious menu that Dave creates uniquely for each morning. ADDITIONAL NOTES & TIPS: - The parking is a bit tight; there are (3) spots at the front of the inn or the overflow is at the end of the driveway. - Each room has a key & a deadbolt (which can only be locked from the inside). - Downstairs area, neighboring the dining room, there is a living room area with shelves of books & a few games. - The busy season for the Brewster House B&B is around the 4th of July.

So listen.... If fall/Autumn had a picture in all the dictionaries.... If fall/Autumn had a smell,…read morea sight, a sound... touch and taste.... It would be a beautiful photo of Maine in October. We decided on our "autumn" vacation from California to be the most sensory gathering place we could imagine.... The pictures of Maine.... Beckoned us to the East Coast. We started out flying into Portland.... From the sky? Autumn was in full glory! We arrived to this beautiful colonial home, the warmth of the candlelit windows and the smell of freshly rain soaked leaves of all the color crayon colors of fall.... Were abound! In the entry way, we met the inn owner who kindly showed us around the breakfast area, and the common room and than took us up the original staircase to our room.... " The Daisy".... Buttery yellow duvets and many pillows to chose from adorned the beds, the wallpaper was gorgeous with blues and yellows, butterflies and daisy's. There was a vanity/wash area outside of the bathroom and the private bathroom was cozy, clean, and had a warming lamp over head. There were plenty of soft, new towels and shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc available. There is coffee, hot chocolate and tea available any time.... I knew I belonged next to the warmth of the "fire" (this is not a down point by any means... a faux fireplace with warmth coming out of it... was heavenly).... I had a hot cup of blueberry tea with cream and honey, a soft reading light, a cozy blanket over my lap.... And for the first time in months... I escaped into a quiet, rainy night bliss. Expectations can let any of us down.... Thus have only the expectation of what you feel is fair enough for a home built in the 19th century. The walls are made of plaster, the floors will creak with the age of old bones.... But... you will feel warm, welcomed....and YES there might be a sweet dog to provide you with some petting therapy. This IS a DOG FRIENDLY home.... When I traveled with my Aussie, Jack.... It was very difficult to find lodging that was "dog friendly"... when your dog is as important and loved enough by you to be considered a piece of your heart, a part of your family? You would hope they would be welcomed to travel with you.... If you do not like dogs, if you are allergic to dogs, if you hate any bit of a dog hair....please do not feel that writing a review about the towels by the door for one to wipe their dogs paws on is an offense.... I smelled zero dogs, I saw no dog hair..... and from experience of past travel with my dog? Believe me... you are caring for this animal as you would YOUR FAMILY member... people who travel with their animals? Take care of them.... There was a beautiful big dog there with his family, he allowed us to pet him, give us "kisses" and I actually cried when I hugged his sweet human family goodbye.... I miss my Jack and know he would have loved this home, all the space to run and play and that when he came inside, I could wipe his paws and he could eat, drink and be warmly welcomed into an actual home instead of a blank hotel room..... where there are extra dog charges and un-kind looks from others who just do not "get it". Thus, I highly commend this inn for loving animals enough to welcome them in as family, just like they do with their guests. This home is clean, the walls... again.... PLASTER... which have withstood the test of time.... Cold winters, rain, snow..... if those 174 year old walls could tell the stories of all the history they saw.... If you are coming to Maine to feel warmth in both heat and in heart? Stay in a bed and breakfast, where the home owner is in love with that home, the history it holds and ensures you are fed, have all the things you would need... and treats you as if you were a part of the family... even though you come "from away" (a term used here in Maine for those who are here on vacation)... you become a piece of the history that continues. The inn owners in Maine, especially the inns not close to a big city like Portland.... Are extremely dedicated to the comfort of their guests.... There is not a grocery store with every single thing you could need for a special recipe.... You have to work hard to keep these very old homes in good shape.... It is a constant job where you have little to no time for rest away from caring for others.... Thank you, with all of our hearts, for welcoming us, feeding us, keeping us warm and helping this very tired nurse from California.... Forget for a few days.... The hustle and bustle of living in LA, working through a pandemic.....and used to constant noise that was not the same as crisp falling leaves, the pitter patter of rain on your candle lit window.... Or special and welcomed therapy of a sweet dog named Carson who had expressive eye brows and a smile that made me miss my Jack who is currently watching us from heaven.... Un wind and enjoy the pause of extremes.... Healing the heart and soul.

The bus stop is nearby, though service runs about every hour or so, so just plan ahead if you want to use it. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet for relaxing after a day of exploring.

The laundry room was a plus, though it does close at 8 PM, so make sure to plan your wash time a little earlier in the day. While this location is a bit simpler than some other Holiday Inn Express hotels that offer bars or happy hours, it still provides all the essentials for a pleasant and easy stay. Overall, a good value and a convenient base for enjoying Freeport and the surrounding area!
