The Elmwood was a great find. No more expensive than any others. The staff was welcoming. The picture is accurate, clean and recently renovated. The light continental breakfast was enough to get us going. The Carrabassett Coffee was excellent.

Overall this hotel was one I would return too. Staff were fantastic, location was convenient, beds were comfortable & the room was clean. And the fridge was larger than most hotel fridges. The not super parts were that while it felt safe, I may not have liked it if I were alone at night. The room & property were clean, yet worn in ways that could at first appear unclean (for example: poorly patched areas of wall in the bathroom, a mix of towels that were a variety of colors, stained tub floor, crooked outlets.) Nothing that would make me not return but may not be okay with some people.

The person at check in was very nice. The room was recently updated but the towels and bed linens were thin, scratchy. The shower was good, but the floor drain in the shower needed to be better cleaned. There was no coffee maker of any kind in the room. Overall we expected more than below average linens, room amenities given what we paid.

While on the surface it appears to be "just another motel" ... it has been renovated very well and the rooms are quite.well appointed, clean, and not the musty motel experience one might fear. New showers/renovated bathrooms, new floors, comfortable beds ... all in all a place i am actually favoriting for the next time i am in the area.

We stayed at The Elmwood for one night on our way home from Canada. The hotel isn't bad - the reason we chose it is becasue it's right off the highway and has rooms that open to the outside which makes getting in and out with our dogs very easy. The decor inside was nice and made it feel more like an upscale place, but there were a few things that didn't. There were several spots in the bathroom where holes had been quickly and sloppily spackled over - I'm assuming those will be cleaned up at some point, but it took away from the appearance they were going for. The layout of the bathroom is a little weird, but the shower was excellent. The bed was a king but one of the more uncomfortable hotel beds I've slept on. The staff was friendly and checking in/out was easy. Location was great - right off the highway and close to food and gas stations. Overall, not a bad place to spend the night, but not quite worth what we paid for it.
