The reviews are accurate - it is an older place but very clean. The staff was very nice. There is a nice small breakfast in the morning with plenty of choices. Definitely making a point of staying there again when I visit Colby College. We even thought we left something in the room and the cleaning staff went out of... More

This hotel is older, but very well maintained. The staff at the registration desk were exceptional. Other staff that we met were very personable. We were meeting family at the hotel, and we were too early to check in, but they happened to have the room ready and they allowed us to check in early. Would not hesitate to stay... More

This is a nice hotel to stay in if you are in the Waterville area. The rooms are nice, there is a good continental breakfast in the lobby area, but if you want more then the Governer's restaurant is attached. They have a good breakfast buffet on the weekends. The outdoor pool and hot tub is nice also. We were... More

Good Day, I was happy to read that you found the hotel so much to your liking, from check-in through breakfast. Yes, we have a really nice view of Colby College from our parking lot. We can't take credit for that. It's a beautiful campus. I hope that your travels bring you back often. We look forward to serving you.... More

Excellent hotel! Well-appointed rooms with Kuerig coffee maker, outlets by bed for cell phones, phones in hallway for room key mishaps. Friendly service, wine, cheese and crackers in lobby in afternoon. Very close to Colby. Highly recommend.

This is my second review of Fireside Inns...I visited and stayed with them 3 years ago. Our room was very nice, we were able to adequately control the temperature to suite our desires. We LOVED that they had Keurig coffee machines, we brought our own coffee that we love, but they had Green Mountain coffee that was a joy too!... More

I stayed one night on a business trip. The hotel appears somewhat dated, and is adjacent to a Governor's Restaurant, a classic Maine diner and bakery. Despite the outward appearance, my rom was up-to-date with modern amenities and very comfortable. I arrived at 8:30 pm, and was greeted by a very friendly and efficient evening manager. Check-in was prompt, I... More

We were in town for a concert. Quick check in with very helpful staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was perfect and the pillows were so great we wanted to take them home. It was nice and quiet and had a great continental breakfast. Will definitely stay again!
