The Federal is definitely a hidden gem. The room and the common spaces are quintessential Maine. My king premier room was complete with a fireplace. The decor was a piece out of Maine history but also stylish enough to be modern.

10/10 Exceptional

I did not use the ‘packaged’ breakfast as such did not appeal. The parking was convenient and welcome. I had asked for a quiet room and I got a sweet end/corner room that, other than the usual rude folks who let their doors slam all night, was cosy and quiet. The bathroom was very nice with a huge walk-in shower. Only three things I would recommend the hotel address to make it absolutely perfect: get a booster for the low water pressure, add a close up mirror, and add another hook or two for folks who have hanging toiletries bags.

It was a joy to stay in a "non-big box" hotel: the room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, the whole space was beautiful, and the whole vibe was wonderful. Delicious coffee was available in the hallway on each floor starting at 6 am--even better! We hope to stay here again!

Beautiful lobby and building exterior. Rooms are clean and comfortable but the bathrooms are very dated and need upgrading. Bed was excellent quality and medium on the soft hard scale.
