The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the room impeccably clean. The parking was very convenient a short walk to the building we were staying in, which was Polaris. the man who checked us in, was so pleasant and personable, filled us in on the history of the property. I would stay there again and again. the only thing is the breakfast closed quite early. thank you hotel Ursa. Also, the design, like calming colors of walls, artwork and the furniture was excellent. The Lesure family enjoyed their stay.

Hi! This hotel is great and right on U Maine campus. We stayed in the Historic Building and it was worth it, our ceilings were probably 25 feet tall. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars in the LG TV had sound and no picture and the housekeeping didn't happen the first day. Not a huge deal but a small hiccup. I will definitely be back.
