Decently sized room. Very clean. No rugs. Staff was polite and responsive. Pillows and bed weren’t 5 star comfort but they weren’t rock hard and you can still get a decent night rest on them.

Highly accommodating and friendly front office (ex: let me do an early check in and called me when it was ready). The room was excellent - took me a little while to get used to the lower ceilings, but once you realize it's a snug hobbit hole, it's fantastic. There are lights all over the rooms, including USB chargers on them. No drafts, warm with adjustable heat (good for December in Maine). Shower pressure is top notch!
