Love the updated style in a classic New England building. Great restaurant on site. Close to water for a lovely walk to a bike path. Walkable to "downtown" cute Brunswick

Karl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

All was good inside, clean and very appealing room etc. Drawback was that it was much closer to the highway than we expected so there was constant road noise.

Very unique and cute place
Idalia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was comfortable, biggest downside was that there was no coffee in the room. I had to be on the road early and there was no coffee in the lobby either, which was disappointing. Other than that, a quality stay. I’ll definitely stay again!
