I didn’t realize that the hotel was on the campus of the University of Maine, but thought it was a fun experience. What’s even better was that reception/check in is in the old chemistry building that had been used for 100 years and then vacant for 50 years before becoming one of 3 buildings used for a hotel. So much history here! Beautiful campus, friendly staff, clean facilities, spacious rooms (we stayed in the new building), felt safe walking on campus after dark, thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend! My favorite hotel of the week! Wish we could have stayed there all week, but we traveled too far away to stay in the same hotel every night.

Hotel Ursa is a Great Place to Stay!

My husband and I stay at Ursa frequently while attending University of Maine sporting events. Hotel Ursa is convenient, but it is also clean, comfortable and the staff are very friendly. We can’t recommend it enough! Special shout out to Colbe and Ashley for all they did to make this particular stay extra wonderful!

Hotel Ursa is affordable, clean, and comfortable. Those are the essentials for me. It’s an interesting setting being located on campus at Maine State University. Colbe was friendly and welcoming at check in. He was very polite and professional making it clear that this is an outstanding hotel in every way. First-class front desk experience!

The room was very clean and access was easy. There were a few things we did not like however. There was no lighting that was good enough to read by. The accommodations were very spartan... no decor at all. You could see into our room from the street.

The only negative I have about this location is that it was not clear as to what building I needed to go into to sign in and after a long Trip I just wanted to get to my room and relax. All Staff were friendly and very helpful. Gave great restaurant recs and were patient when I needed to change my method of payment. Rooms were clean and comfortable but obviously old dorm Rooms but more than adequate for short stays. Better than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
