Excellent property with nice rooms, an adequate breakfast, huge parking, and fantastic staff. It is immediately off I-95 and convenient for many Maine attractions. I strongly recommend. The price was also very reasonable.

The staff at the Elmwood were very friendly and helpful. There are few amenities: no coffee maker in the room, extremely limited breakfast, no dining room per se. But there is plenty of convenient parking and there are several places to get breakfast nearby. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with large, newly updated bathrooms. We would stay here again.

Mason was the front desk representative. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We requested an early check-in and he was able this particular date to approve our request. Super helpful considering we are from away and made our trip for a concert so much more relaxed and pleasant. Thank you again Mason. Upon check out this morning, the front desk representative was also very kind and helpful with key return and breakfast/coffee needs. I failed to get her name because I had not consumed said coffee yet and was not fully awake.🙂🙂🙂 Thank you again to kind woman in charge this morning. Will definitely book again for future concert visits.

Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was we were here for a week and we had to request towels every couple days and asked that our room be cleaned periodically. Even when they did replace towels, the floor remained dirty and they never touched our bed even once. Disappointing. On the plus side, staff was quite pleasant.
