BEAUTIFUL Hotel and Suite! The mattress was THE BEST…read moreMATTRESS we've slept on! It was so comfortable, and the bedding was great too. Everything was clean, spacious, and they included extra pillows, a blanket, 2 robes, and extra towels. There was a mini-frig, Keurig Coffee maker, and 2 bottled waters. The room was updated, and had Quartz countertops in the bathroom, kitchenette, on the TV cabinet, dresser, and end tables. The staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking, a nice restaurant onsite. Great location, next to Bowdoin College, which has a gorgeous campus. The only suggestion I have for such a nice hotel is to include a magnifying make-up mirror in the bathroom, which would be helpful for those of us with poor eyesight and/or for those that are shorter and can't get close up to the mirror over the vanity. I realize this is a First-world problem. We would highly recommend this hotel, and we were sad we only booked it for one night, on our way back to Boston.

This hotel is an absolute delight! It's the second Spark by Hilton that we've visited, and…read moreeverything about them has been a pleasant surprise. We love the concept of reinventing older hotel sites and making them both modern and affordable. We also love the mix of elegance and informality at the Sparks. This one, in a quiet - but easy to find - side of Freeport (on Route 1), is well-designed, absolutely immaculately clean, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom shower deserves special mention, as the water pressure is wonderful, the hot water is nice and hot, and the shower floor is textured. (The latter is unusual. In many hotels, shower floors can be ridiculously slippery when wet and soapy.) The bedding, the towels, and the pillows feel luxurious. The mattresses... Well, I could stay here just for that comfort. It seems as if all of the Sparks use Sealy mattresses in the "Mesmerize by Hilton" line. They're the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on. Also, it was easy to connect our room's nice, large TV to our Roku. The desk in the room has a swing-out section, doubling the desk's surface space. If you're working while you're on the road, this is a wonderful luxury. The Sparks offer a light breakfast, including yogurt, beverages, fruits, cereals, and make-it-yourself instant oatmeal. It's a good array. Also, in the lobby, you can purchase a wide range of groceries for snacks or full meals. This Spark has a guest laundry, a water dispenser and an ice machine. There are comfortable rocking chairs in the lobby area, and several desks and tables suited to laptop use or gaming. And, oh yes, this Spark's management - like the one we enjoyed in Brunswick, Maine - is friendly and helpful. We felt right at home. Five stars for everything!

For the price, I guess I couldn't expect too much, but there were a few issues that we ran into…read morehere. 1. The heater did not seem to be working. The first night, I managed to stay under all the blankets so I was okay, but the second night, one of the blankets fell off the bed and I had to curl up into a ball to stay warm. 2. There was no toilet paper so we had to ask for some. 3. The bathroom door does not close properly. 4. The shower had some interesting discoloration going on. 5. The walls are paper thin. I could clearly hear the room next to us. Fortunately, there was nothing going on besides conversation... Again, I understand you get what you pay for, but even considering that, quality was sub-standard.

What a great place to stay! So cute and charming and cozy. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4…read morenights, first three in the yellow room and the last night in the green room. Rooms are super cute and full of light. Housekeeping is very thorough and there were so many touches to make the stay more comfortable- water jugs and cups laid out on the hall table, tea/coffee and fresh baked cookies always on standby in the breakfast room, a mini fridge and ice maker for the guests to use. They even have a dvd collection for the nights that you just want to stay in and snuggle up! Tori and Robin were such warm and welcoming hosts. Really sweet people with great local recommendations. We booked a sunset cruise in Casco bay (on the Alert schooner) through them and it was a really lovely way to start the trip. And on the last day Robin recommended skipping Desert of Maine because it's hokey, and instead pointed us toward Pineland farms where we shopped for local Maine produce and met the farm's cows and horses. We even saw a baby calf that had been born yesterday!!! This review would not be complete without a HUGE shout out to the James Place Inn breakfast. I mean...wow. Suffice it to say you will roll home afterwards. Start with a cup of coffee and juice if you want it, then pick up some fresh fruit salad and watermelon or cherries, granola, yogurt, and something baked and yummy, like homemade coffee cake or raspberry granola muffins. Then your hot breakfast arrives and you will dive right in to your homemade quiche, frittata, sausage or bacon, and pancakes/waffles/French toast. You can pick what you want but I always wanted to try EVERYTHING...and it was always worth it! Special breakfast honors go to Robin's cinnamon swirl French toast from scratch. It is just MWAH That's me kissing my fingertips like a chef talking up his best dish...because when I say from scratch I mean if you walk through the kitchen enough you can see this beauty enter life in the mixing bowl, cool down in loaves out of the oven, and the next day...voila there it is slipping down your gullet in the most satisfying way. Worth the trip!!!! Oh and by the way the location is PERFECT! You are right off of Freeport's Main Street, about 3 minutes' walk from the LL Bean. Awesome trip and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

At first It was a little bit tricky to find the available dates, but we found something, only complaint about the whole process was the availability of the specific house he wanted (large green combo bouncer that matched Minecraft lol) it seemed to be booked solid. Oh well, the Pirate ship looked like a "Minecraft world" he said. Pirate ship it is‍ So the price I was quoted ended up being for Friday all the way until Monday! Not just the day that I chose, that was absolutely incredible. As a single mom, I was really stressing out about the cost, the set up, everything, but it couldn't have been more simple process! I reserved the date with a $50 deposit, I didn't pay the rest until the delivery, and I was actually in North Conway when they arrived I was able to just pay the rest via email, super easy. I was panicking a little bit about where it would be set up, but the employee was extremely professional, and actually sent me screenshots of where everything would be so I could approve it. When I got home there it was in all its glory lol. An absolute behemoth, I don't think you really see how big they are until they're actually set up lol. I was able to also rent chairs and tables for dirt cheap, $2 a chair? Sign me up everything went off without a hitch, there was no issues at all with the bounce house performance, worked great! I know it's really nerve-racking to plan a little kids birthday these days, it's like nobody ever shows up which can be heartbreaking as a parent. Well, you don't have to worry about that if you rent one of these haha, I put "bounce house/splash pad so bring bathing suits" on the invites, and the entire class had been talking about it all week We had an amazing turn out! Over 30 people stopped by! The next morning, I woke up, and they were already taking it down for me, I went out to tip them, but other than that I didn't have to do a thing. I hate to keep mentioning that I'm a single mother, but when you're trying to do everything alone, you literally can't put a price on that type of service, but they have lol and it's EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE FOR WHAT YOU GET! I spent a total of $469 for the bounce house in the pictures, 6 chairs, 2 large banquet tables, delivery (all the way out near Porter) set up, taking it down, and we had it from Friday noon-Monday 9am Back in Cincinnati it would have been 1k easy. With the price of everything going up, it's amazing to see a company keeping rates affordable! I know this is a gushing review lol I promise I don't work for them, I'm just blown away with how easy it was, how LITTLE I had to do... I will be using them for every birthday moving forward lol. Thank you for helping me give my son an epic birthday, and helping us make friends in our new community. I now have a handful of Mom friends too Win win‍

A friend and I were attending a wedding close by and booked a two twin bed room on hotels .com. We…read morearrived and were checked in, went to the room, only to discover it was one full bed. We went back down to the desk to discuss the mistake, and which time they informed us they cut their contract with hotels.com because they kept booking people in rooms not matching accommodations, and they don't even have any rooms with 2 beds (or none available, unclear.). In order for us to stay, we had to book another room that was not ready sight unseen. We were told we would need to speak to hotels.com for a refund. We attempted to get a partial refund from hotels.com and were informed that the hotel said we accepted alternative accommodations. Inn staff also reported they gave us the second room for free, which is also untrue. They refuse to make it right. The rooms were small, the hallway smelled of vomit when we went back to our rooms that night, and the second rooms ac did not work properly. Beware and avoid staying here if you are a group or family unless you'd like to squeeze into tiny rooms and get 0 customer service for a mistake on the Inns end. The worst hospitality experience I've ever had, coming from someone who has worked in and frequented MUCH nicer accommodations. Edit to add: check their reviews outside of google. That is the only place people rave about them, which is super fishy. Update to Anthony: Every part of your response was untrue. That's a shame you feel the need to continue to lie. There were no multiple visitors to our room, we didn't tell you to charge the card you told us you would because you wouldn't fix the error as it was a hotels.com issue, you never mentioned the cooling issue, etc etc etc. if you had been willing to comp the second room (we shouldn't need to tell you we needed two beds, that's what we booked for.) and had not continually lied to hotels.com, this review wouldn't be here.
