Love the Staff and the Hotel

I could not believe "Inn at the Agora" was an option when I was looking for a hotel to stay at in Lewiston. I booked it right away. After driving over 2000 miles to get to Lewiston, ME I was greeted by the owner - by name - and was treated like royalty. I have been staying here for more than a week and the services of the staff and owner are 5+ stars. The hotel has a small kitchen area where guests can get a complimentary snack or a hot drink. There is a small fridge where I can put my leftover take-out meal, to heat up for later. The staff and owner have treated me with kindness and have been a source of local information for me while I get to know the area I am moving to. I love the small signs the owner sets out to assist me with using the coffee maker or contacting them if I do not see them at the front desk. Extra covers or pillows are not a problem for the staff when I request them. I have a pet with me and there is a place for him to walk and potty. I love the gathering/dinning area. I have enjoyed the atmosphere and sounds of the other guests going about their business in the hotel/mansion. It feels real warm and relaxing. I have never felt like a corporate employee was watching my every move. I feel like I have lived here for longer than I have been. The historical aspect of this hotel makes it so cool to stay here. There is historical literature about the hotel, and of course the owner has additional information if you are interested. Make this your choice

The most unique place I have stayed in months!

Absolutely charming mansion-turned-Inn. Splendid hospitality. Interesting and cordial innkeepers. Friendly dog. Do spend some in the parlor for a game of chess and complementary wine. The owners also have a splendid social venue in the massive church complex they also purchased next door. I had a fascinating guided tour.
