This hotel is right on Umaine Campus and it is very charming. Stayed for Family and Friends weekend and also have it booked for our son’s graduation weekend. Can’t wait to be back. No crazy bells and whistles but the rooms are updated and pretty. The views were great and room was clean. We stayed in Holmes building.

The parking is a bit difficult as the hotel was sold out and it does not appear to have equal spots to rooms. That beings said, the lot is great, the location is perfect, the hotel is clean, modern and comfortable. We used to stay at the Black Bear Inn- now we will not stay anywhere but Hotel ursa. This place is a gem. If you book for Homecoming, you best book early; it sold out fast.
