Maine Highlands hotel rooms a the Independent

"Really nice hotel! I was a little confused when I first drove onto the University of Maine campus, the outside looks like dorm but the inside is Not a dorm. The staff was really helpful and nice. There is a washer and dryer for guests. The room was spacious and comfortable. Loved the work area, well thought out. Only thing that could be updated is the bath towels could be bigger… I’m not a big person but these barely wrapped around me. I would definitely go back if I was in the area."

"Was on a roadie from Canada and needed a place to stay. We picked this place and we couldn’t have been happier!!! The staff was amazing "

"This is the second time I've stayed at this property, it's great! Quiet, convenient, clean. I will definitely go back if I am in the area."

"It was great to go out and come back to the nice, clean, comfortable, spacious rooms. Slept well. Enjoyed the breakfast. All the staff we interacted with were friendly, cheerful and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!"

"Desk person was great. Nice place, no elevator so if that is a problem make sure you ask for first floor. Nice breakfast."

"Personable staff, awesome continental breakfast "

"Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Check in was easy and hassle free. However the premises leave more to be desired. It appears that some rooms are long term low income tenants, junk cars in the back area of parking lot, someone was actually doing repairs on their car in the yard. Disappointed that building and room looked nothing like pictures. "

"Pleasant is as can be. Personable staff. Good food at Aviator restaurant on site. Reasonable price. I will use again!"

"Older hotel but nicely fixed up. Cute Maine theme in the decor. Comfy beds. Decent breakfast with several options. The curtains were thin and the early morning sun came right in our room. Staff were less than friendly, but we enjoyed our stay and would probably stay here again if in the area. "
