To call this a "luxury hotel" is a blatant lie.
Pros:

The room was pretty.

Cons:

The staff - physically unavailable for check out and negative to interact with for check in.
The bed was made in the "short sheet" way and there were no extra blankets (the blue throw at the foot of the bed was just a strip of fabric).
The bathroom still had the last person's used soap and half empty shampoo container in the shower.
The shower itself never got past lukewarm, even after letting it run for 10 minutes. This was a big negative.

Just an ok stay this time
Pros:

Location was amazing. Across from Maine brewery !

Cons:

I her stayed there a few times and have really been impressed with the value! However this time it wasn’t as clean as it usually is and they didn’t give us new towels. The towels were like paper thin!
