We booked into this hotel using a discount website at a very good rate. Our room was great. Very clean and fully equipped (full stove, fridge & even a dishwasher!). The wireless internet is only available in the hotel lobby but there is wired internet in each room. However, when I asked about wireless internet, because I was going to be using an iPhone app to call home, the clerk went and got me a wireless router for us to use during our stay! A pleasant surprise.
The breakfast is very basic but all you really need. English muffins, yogurt, cereal (cold and oatmeal packets), juice & milk. I did see some cold boiled eggs there too. And 24 hour coffee & tea. They only have butter so some jams or other spreads would be nice but then again, you have a whole kitchen at your disposal so if you were staying for an extended period, you could buy your own.
The "gym" is just a couple of treadmills and an elliptical - it gets very warm in there but it does the trick. In the summer there is an outdoor pool and a BBQ area that you can use.
The location is good - just down the road from the Maine Mall and big box stores but kind of out of the way so that you're not right in the hustle & bustle. There is a Shaw's Supermarket right across the road so you can buy some groceries if you're staying for awhile.
I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends and family. I will be booking back in - especially if we are planning an extended stay. It's only 10 minutes from Old Orchard Beach. Even though it looked like it was booked solid (based on the parking lot), we never heard anybody coming or going. This was a nice, clean, quiet hotel.
