"I loved it. Was just there to visit a family member at Maine Med. this is right across the street and there are decent food options right around. Downtown is about an $8 uber ride or 1.5 mile walk. The staff was great and very positive and happy, the breakfast had something for everyone even gluten free options. The room was super cool- King with no windows and it was great. It was right off the food area lobby thing but the doors are old and thick so didn’t hear anything. I absolutely loved...
