Fairly disappointing to stay someplace that was in worse shape than my own house. The front desk staff didn’t seem to ca
Pros:

The pool and outdoor areas were a nice vibe.

Cons:

The first room we were put in was not clean or well kept. It was visibly dirty and there were lots of items that had a lot of wear and tear including walls and ceilings in the room. The halls all had carpet that was peeling up. The furniture had a fair amount of wear and tear.

Merry Manor Hotel
Pros:

We stopped here for one night as we traveled the Maine coast. Hotel is rather tired looking and needs refurbished. However, the staff were nice, hotel clean and pool area is huge with outdoor pool and indoor hot tub. Also included breakfast.

To much money for what we got.
Pros:

Staff was friendly and accommodating on a first floor room. However, I explained I had my 82 year old Nanna who had surgery in the am and were at the very end of the hall not close to an exit as requested.

Cons:

Beds weren’t comfortable, pillows were 1/2 a pillow literally. Room was far from clean found someone’s pill they must have dropped between the cabinet and fridge. Walls were paper thin, vending machine compressor kept us up all night. Overall just not great.

Pros:

Property was clean and only 10 minutes drive from downtown.

Cons:

A majority of the outlets in our room didn’t work so it was challenging to charge your phone. Outdated hotel that isn’t worth the price paid.
