My bed was super comfy. Their breakfast was great too. They served fruit, cereal, pastries, oatmeal, waffle bar, fruit juice and sausages. A big plus for them for having almond milk in stock. I am lactose intolerant so it was helpful. Their parking spot is big but if it gets packed you can always park at Dunkin Donut. I highly recommend this place in Waterville.

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.

After searching for dog friendly places in the New England area for a couple of hours we finally stumbled upon Pressey House in Oakland, ME on Airbnb. Neither of us had ever heard of the town but a quiet Bed & Breakfast on a lake sounded good to us. A few nights later we made the 3 hour drive to Oakland, ME where we checked into the Granite Suite. Originally we were a little dubious because the walls of the suite are described as being the original foundation of the home from 1850 so we were afraid that it might feel like we were in a dark, damp cave but when our Host, Nikki, showed us to where we were going to be staying nothing could have been further from the truth. Although all the of the walls were either granite or brick, the front of the suite was bright with natural light thanks to the window and door and the back of the suite with the comfy, King sized bed had a cozy feel to it. There are a couple of cool little brick arches in the suite that are a unique architectural feature. The bathroom was surprisingly roomy which you don't always find at a B&B and even though there is no bathtub the shower stall had excellent water pressure and didn't feel cramped . The suite also had a pretty good size kitchenette which was really handy to have the two nights we were there. My favorite feature though was the gas fireplace. Each night my fiancé and I spent hours in front of it playing cards and relaxing. It was especially welcome since it snowed while we were there, and nothing is better than coming in from the cold and warming up in front of the fire. There is WiFi available and our signal was strong enough that we experienced no internet issues on our phones and tablets. There is a main common area that was split into two sections: The front section which has a sitting area in front of a wood burning fireplace and the back section which overlooks the lake and functions as a dining space. The quintessential New England feel of the room is warm, inviting and really makes you think of the long history of the home. Although we were the only ones having breakfast each morning in the common area because everyone else was a long term rental, Nikki made sure that she still pulled out all the stops for us. One morning we had fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, homemade frittata, and sausage and then the next day we feasted on fruit salad, pancakes and homemade corned beef hash. The first night that we arrived Nikki had left homemade cookies in our room. The following day at breakfast she got some ideas of what kind of desserts we liked and we came back from a day exploring the area to some homemade strawberry thumbprint cookies in our room (which my fiancé LOVED). So, saying that Nikki is a good cook, who will feed you well feels like an understatement. Our most favorite part of the Pressey House though was Nikki, her husband Ron and their family (pups included). They were extremely friendly, professional, accommodating in every way and it's clear that they want every guest to have an amazing experience when you stay with them. From chatting with Nikki & Ron we learned that they have just recently purchased the inn and have some big plans for it. We can say with certainty that we will be going back for another visit and we look forward to seeing any improvements that they make since it will make an already fabulous B&B even better. We're also looking forward to getting to see the gorgeous lake that Pressey House sits on during the summertime.

This time, for the night of Sept 7, 2025 myself and a bunch of friends booked a few suites and a few rooms for an event in Sidney, Maine. We didn't book as a group, but we got lucky and 3 of our 5 rooms were on the 4th floor. We got back late and stayed up a little late catching up-so I asked for a late check out, which they obliged and gave me till noon. I got up with plenty of time, but if you know this place it's a bit of a maze and I had to go find a bell cart. I was loading up the bell cart at just a few minutes past noon then I was putting trash in the baskets and doing a last bit of tidying...when as I was literally about to walk out the housekeeper on the 4th floor started yelling at me...it was past time. I said, "I know (like doesn't she see the cart?) I am walking out now". This lady clearly has never worked with customers before (or maybe she is one of the reasons this place has abysmal reviews?!?!?) because even as I walked out she went on and on about how I wasn't honoring the sacred oath I took when I accepted the late check out...I'm only half joking...this lady was actually having a good time speaking to me like a child even though I was already leaving (oh and I took my tip I had left them because I was so pissed). This lady doesn't belong around people in any capacity. We all agreed otherwise we had a solid stay but this left such a sour taste in my mouth. People have options and if this was my business I would want to know how people are being treated. Sure, I was running a few minutes late. Maybe I should have been executed!?!?! I asked her, "I guess you have never been running late". Whatever drug she quit cold turkey to be in such a bad mood, maybe she should ween herself off it next time...

Dog found a pair of socks immediately upon entering the room which made me question the cleanliness of this room. Upon further inspection all else was good. After a very stressful afternoon we decided to go to the restaurant and bar for a drink and to check out the menu. Decent selector items. We got a pizza which was good. Waitress was friendly and attentive to our needs. We slept OK with TV on to muffle a bang or two here and there.

I explained to the man at the front desk that I was dealing with hip pain and would prefer a room with a door that opened directly to the outside instead of being down a long interior hallway. He agreed, but charged me an extra $10 for the room, despite the parking lot being completely empty. I went into the room hoping at least to take a shower and rest, although what I really wanted was a bath after such a long drive. Unfortunately, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. I tried calling the front desk to complain, but the phone in the room had no dial tone and didn't work at all. I walked to the reception and showed a picture to the employee and requested a refund as I didn't feel safe there due to the uncleanliness. The young man at the desk then said that nothing could be done because I booked through a third-party. The motel itself was in very poor condition, with paint peeling off the walls and an overall dirty, unsafe feeling. I was exhausted, so I briefly laid on the bed while waiting for some Chinese food I ordered, but I ultimately decided to sleep in my car because I did not feel safe or comfortable staying in the room. After that short time on the bed, I ended up with bedbug bites. I requested a refund, but the motel refused and has ignored emails and requests from booking.com regarding the issue. Please avoid this place at all costs. It is filthy, poorly maintained, and completely unacceptable.
