The room we received was larger than expected and the bathroom was huge. The shower had great pressure despite us being on the third floor and only had a handheld sprayer. The tub did its job without any slow draining. The mattresses were somewhat soft but the pillows were perfect. The bad: though staying for two days and being very particular person, nothing stood out as "bad". To be fair, the coffee was a cheap acidic terrible brew, but next door was a Dunkin. Bottom line: my wife and I would stay here again.

Knowing I had another 11+ mile hike to complete in the area, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay…read morewhen the opportunity arose. Motel was booked solid so I went with a campsite this time around and I am so glad I did. Check-in was again a breeze and the staff are just so nice. Having inquired as to my activities in the area, they remembered the details and brought in up in conversation whenever we ran into each other. A nice personal touch. I stayed at campsite #9 "Double Decker" and it was the perfect size for my medium sized tent and large SUV. It came with a fire pit and picnic table. When you first round the bend, the campsites seem squeezed in there but the site itself felt pretty private once I settled in and I was not bothered by the full campground surrounding me. Quiet hours by 10pm made getting rest for my weekend activities easy peasy. As a solo camper, I felt very safe here. The nearby lounge area had a television, kitchen w. oven, range, refrigerator, and freezer, television, electrical outlets, games and more. Toilets and coin-operated showers were on the backside of this building. I don't mind pay showers but wished I got a little bit more time for my first four quarters as I was scrambling to put more in as I rushed through each visit. Bring plenty with you if you like to take your time. Firewood available for purchase (delivered to your campsite!) along with some other staples. Would absolutely stay here again. And again. And again.

Alright, so, I struggle with the rating for this hotel because although there are soooo many…read morepositive aspects, there were a few things that put a damper on our trip. Simply put, here are the pros and cons; Pro: beautiful, ski-in/ski-out lodge, direct access to the Sugarloaf village, large hot tub outside that overlooks the mountain, not too unreasonable price wise (not cheap, but you are right on the mountain with amazingly close parking) and charming vibe Cons: the check-in procedure is insane. They won't let you check in until 4pm on the dot. I totally understand if they are still cleaning the rooms, but if the rooms are clean and ready to go, just let people check in at like 2 or 3. During covid, it makes zero sense to have a line of 15-20 parties all waiting to check in at the same time. We had a small baby, and there were also several old people checking in. It just seemed asinine to create a policy that goes completely against all common sense during a global pandemic. Anyway, other cons were; the room was so tiny (which isn't horrible, but there were barely any clothing hooks, shelves or drawers to put stuff in-- and who doesn't have a lot of sh--t when they are on a ski trip!?!) and the housekeeping was pretty invisible (I'm fine with not getting room service during a pandemic, but can you at least pick up my trash and give me some towels!?!). So, obviously the pros outweigh the cons, but, the cons did take away from the comfort of our stay. However, I did have a great stay. If I return, I would just come an hour or two later to check in (if it's during covid), and I'd splurge for a larger room.

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the years with my kids as a little local mini vacation…read more Went to book a room for our annual mini vacation and was told I have been banned. Supposedly because, as they said, I left a lot of trash in the room. I had a small family birthday party for my son and cleaned up the room, even bringing my own trash bags to do so. I was puzzled & assumed it was a mistake so I reached out to management and received an email back saying that I had taken advantage of their no locals policy. Apparently they don't rent rooms to locals, but bent the rules for me, unbeknownst to me. No one EVER told me that this was a policy. If it was a policy, to not rent locals, then why in the world would they have rented to me? The whole situation is just bizarre. I've spent a lot of money at this hotel over the years and this is the thanks I get. So if you're local I guess you're not allowed to stay at this hotel, but they probably won't tell you that and may rent to you anyway. ?? Warning to locals- you're not allowed here, or maybe you are, or maybe sometimes? Great management. Thanks Fireside. Very nice. I cleaned that room thoroughly when I left, as I always do. If you're local they'll turn on you I guess. I'm still just stunned by this. I never had any issues in all the years I've stayed here, ever. No warnings, no complaints, no mention of not being allowed here. Nada. This is just rotten.

The biggest issue I had was the cleanliness. It was beautiful but it was not clean. The sheets on the top of the bed were stained with bodily fluids. The bathroom had a full trash with feminine products, and it did not smell well. There was on the floor in the bedroom and the bathroom, and they didn't address the cleanliness when I brought it up. That upset me as I stayed there a few nights for a conference. The big tv in the bedroom was nice but it was high on the wall. And the windows were beautiful, but due to construction I had to have them closed a lot because I was on the ground level. Parking was okay. There was an event the first night, so I was not able to park to unload my vehicle in the front (maybe assign some 15-minute spots in the front?). But I was able to move it to the first come first serve parking in the front of the hotel later. Not having anyone to ask questions of on location was weird. No staff to talk to. I had texts communications with the staff, but it was not exactly responsive. But it was a nice hotel. Beautiful rooms.

As a frequent visitor to the Skowhegan area, I initially fell in love with this beautifully…read morerestored old spinning mill, now transformed into apartments and a boutique-style hotel. It has such a unique charm and great potential. Unfortunately, after staying here three times, my experience has steadily declined. The biggest issues seem to be communication and a lack of consistency with the Kasa brand. Room amenities are unpredictable--some rooms have refrigerators, while others don't. None of the rooms I've stayed in have had dresser drawers, closets, or even basic hooks to hang clothes, which makes longer stays inconvenient. Housekeeping has also taken a step back. During my first two stays, it was excellent. Now, they charge a $35 "refresher fee," despite signage indicating that daily housekeeping is available. I've also experienced operational issues, including being locked out of the building and having no heat. Trying to resolve these problems through their "virtual front desk" was frustrating and largely ineffective. The company also sent me updates about my stay using an old confirmation number from a stay eight months ago. Noise has also been an issue. Even though I am hearing impaired, I could still hear noise from surrounding units, including a dog barking from the floor above, which was surprising and disruptive. To top it off, small but noticeable downgrades--like switching from glassware and real coffee cups to paper cups--give the property more of a budget motel feel rather than the boutique experience it once offered. That said, I will give credit where it's due--the beds are very comfortable, and the sheets and comforters feel high quality. However, with the ongoing cost-cutting, it wouldn't be surprising to see that change as well. This property still has incredible potential, but until consistency, communication, and the overall guest experience improve, it's hard to justify returning.
