Quiet little inn, quaint high street location. Picturesque water views overlooking a small marina with the fort in the distance. The facility is somewhat dated but still comfortable and well appointed. Minimal staff interaction, pleasant but not overly welcoming during check in. Prices are reasonable. Bed was a bit of a let down, very soft pillow top mattress upon which i quickly sank down to a hard surface and felt like my feet were slightly higher than my head. 4/5 would recommend.
Nice place to stay overlooking the waterfront. The bedspread was dated but looked very clean. The bathroom ceiling needs to be replaced, the steel rails for the tiles were rusty.

Beautiful view of the River and kind hosts. Great stay!
Great location on water, can see Fort Knox and the bridge/observatory, boats. Nice walking path next to ocean, windows open so you can get fresh air. Employees at desk were kind!
But:
Elevator only works when employees are there. The room smelled funny, the weak AC wasnt turned on and was just stuffy. Notes taped to mirror said "towels are from hotel for your hands/face and spills" or something like that. What about a shower? I dont get the point of taping what towels are used or not used for. Wasnt impressed for the price paid.
The hotel is right on the Penobscot River and has a picture perfect view of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. Our room had, by far, the best water pressure of any hotel where we have stayed and that is one of our big tests of a hotel room. The hotel was quiet and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is right in the middle of Main Street with lots of shops and restaurants well within walking distance.

Great
It was good stay! The river view was incredible! We were there only to sleep at night... But would have been nice to have a lobby with a few tables and chairs!
We had a very pleasant stay. Hotel is located in a great spot with a nice walking trail along the river. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Our room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Check in and out was a breeze. We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area.
Great view of the Penobscot River! We like to recycle, so I give this comment to every hotel. You will score points with at least a place to recycle bottles with a little blue bin in your rooms. More pillows please for those who need them.
