The Brunswick Hotel

A wonderful hotel. The four may be my fault because I didn't ask for a Senior room with a walkin shower and grab bars but
Everything else was super! Breakfast was amazing!v

We recently spent 4 nights at this hotel and could not have been much happier. It is literally situated across the street from the Bowdoin College campus and within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants located along Maine Street. The rooms and facilities are well maintained and we found every employee to be friendly. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered each morning that includes both fresh fruit and pastries. Freshly baked cookies are impossible, at least for me, to resist when offered in the late afternoon. In addition, its central location allowed us to explore a number of towns situated along Maine's mid-coast. There is little doubt that we will be returning.

This is the first time I have been to this hotel and I was extremely happy with the quality of everything. It was not cheap but it was worth the money. We had a great night sleep here. They have wonderful amenities. Everything was pretty clean (I did find hairs in the bathtub/shower area - hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The beds were comfortable. We were put across from the elevator and heard nothing. The front desk staff was pleasant. The parking was easy and you can walk anywhere in Brunswick from here. The hotel breakfast that was included was fantastic compared to what you get at chain restaurants. And best of all, the checkout time is noon instead of 11 like so many hotels. The next time I am in Brunswick I will definitely be staying here.

Great place to stay in Brunswick. Walkable to college and lots of restaurants, bars, stores located on Maine St. Excellent size rooms and wonderful staff. Next to AMTRAK station, so getting here from the train is really easy.

My mom and I always love coming to this hotel when we're on vacation in Maine. However, this trip was particularly unforgettable. I left our room around midnight to make a phone call so I wouldn't disturb my sleeping mother. And upon my return, the keycard lock turned green but wouldn't unlock. I tried several times before knocking and calling my mom. (Of course, her phone was on silent and she slept through the knocks.) After receiving no answer, I went downstairs to find help and found no one. I waited in the lobby for several minutes which turned into an hour, then returned to my room to try once more. The key card once again turned green but didn't unlock. I tried calling the hotel to see if I could find someone to help, but to no avail. It was about 3am at this point. Defeated and tired, I ended up sleeping -- poorly -- in our rental car. (Thank goodness I'd had the foresight to grab the car keys on the way out of the room.) My mom, having slept comfortably through the entire ordeal, woke up around 8am to the onslaught of missed called and texts and finally let me back into the room. Not sure what the moral of the story is here, but I'm not dissuaded from staying at the Brunswick hotel in the future.
I just hope that they've resolved their door issues by then.
And I'll make sure my mom has her phone turned on next time.

My husband and I stayed at the Brunswick Hotel two nights before our wedding and the night of our wedding. We arrived too early for check in so they gave us to drink tickets to use at the bar. The interior of the hotel was very nice however I was not super impressed with our king suite. It was about 350 square feet but had very little furniture and a lot of empty space. There's free coffee in the lobby everyday which is good because the coffee situation in the room was not stocked for use. The location of the hotel is ideal if your doing things in downtown Brunswick. The parking lot for the hotel is small and was completely filled by 7pm on a Saturday night. I almost think not getting a king suite is the way to go, it was pricey and didn't seem to have additional amenities than a regular room would.

I stay in this hotel just about every year for one evening, before heading to my family place on the coast of Maine. I've not been disappointed yet with my experience. Rooms are well
Kept, comfortable, quiet. They have a nice dining room, I rarely chose anything except the lobster roll, as it's my first lobster fix of each of my annual treks. Paired with a good local brew, it's my happy meal to start my vacation! Last night I had the Allagash White ale. Be warned, there is a singer in the dining area on Friday nights. I like that atmosphere, but others may not as it's s little on the too loud side.
This is my go to place in Brunswick, it's a mini walk from the Brunswick Station, if you are taking the train in.

Where to start? Even prior to arrival, we asked twice for a confirmation email and it was never sent. When we arrived, we were told there was "plenty of parking available," there was no parking available. When asked what the best option was at the front desk, they told us to park at a grocery store- when asked if this was allowed, the front desk told us "just to park in the back." The elevator was broken. Guest services would randomly stop by the room saying "someone called." The front desk staff was rude and uninterested when asking questions. Really poor service across the board.

After staying here eight times for business in 2017/2018, I can safely say that this hotel rocks. It features an excellent location on the strip near the university (easily walkable to nearby shops and restaurants), and the lobby/facility is inviting with extremely friendly staff. The rooms are always clean and quite large (by hotel standards, they are huge), and the beds are also oversized and plush. There are several room sizes, including suites with the ability to be converted for a mini business meeting, and wifi around the hotel is a breeze (and free). I'm not sure why there had been some reviews knocking the Tavern downstairs -- the bar staff are gregarious, and they usually have very tasty and interesting rotating beers on draft. To be fair, I've never eaten lunch or dinner here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet that was served in the conference room (the egg white and spinach scram was delicious). Overall, this would be an ideal place to stay for a parents' weekend, for business, or for those just passing through Brunswick.

Note: this hotel is dog friendly, and the staff not only remembered my pup's name on repeat visits but would have a treat waiting for her. Now that is service. Four paws up!

I was visiting my family in Maine for the first time in two years (due to the pandemic). It was also the occasion of my birthday as well as my brother's 60th. My mother insisted that I stay at a "nice hotel" so recommended The Brunswick Hotel. At $429 per night for Friday and Saturday and $329 for Sunday night, as well as the hotel's assurances of a focus on health and safety due to COVID-19, one should absolutely expect that the room would be clean. Unfortunately, that was not the case. There were long dark hairs on the floor of the bathroom (which also had smears of dirt) as well as short dark hairs in the shower. The bathroom vanity was extremely dusty and the light over the mirror did not work. The lamp on the night table was also caked in dust. I stopped by hotel reception on my way out the first day to advise them that the room was not clean and ask them to please ensure that it was upon my return later that day. It was somewhat better but the lamp still had not been dusted and there was still a short dark hair in the shower. So, clearly their focus was not on cleanliness. On the third night they failed to empty the wastebaskets and recyclables as well as replace the dirty washcloth in the bathroom. At a cost of $1,167 for three nights in an unclean room, this hotel was a total failure and I would not recommend a stay here.
