Really quaint and beautiful spot! Comfortable rooms, great sleep. After a long 10hr+ drive, the bar/restaurant was a welcome relief with fantastic cocktails, great food and a surprise live acoustic act! Great staff and wonderful locals whom welcomed us with smiles.
I am new to Brunswick and thought I would try The Federal to see if it would be a place we can enjoy the next four years while our student attends Bowdoin College. I was pleasantly surprised. I typically opt for new & modern and fully expected an old hotel experience which is not typically my style. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it updated and modern, I was extremely happy at how clean the room was given my allergy to dust. The housekeeper was top notch, friendly, and helpful. One nice touch was fresh coffee offered all morning on each floor. Every staff member I came in contact with was very hospitable & friendly. I was on the third floor facing the highway and given it was a full house weekend, the hotel was extremely quiet & beds were so comfortable. I also was impressed by dinner in 555 North which is clearly one of the more upscale restaurants in Brunswick. The only thing missing in this hotel is workout equipment. Cardio equipment and some dumbbells would go a long way in the yoga room especially given the long Maine winters. This would be the only reason I would choose another hotel over The Federal upon future visits.
This motel is unbelievably great. Looking at the motel from the street gives you some trepidation. Walking into the reception gives you a hint there may be something more. The property is well kept. For the rooms, well beyond exception. Spotlessly clean, great beds, microwave and refrigerator. Bathrooms are very nice. Breakfast was acceptable, cereals, coffee, tea, juices, muffins, bread, bagels, English muffins and yogurt, plus an automatic toaster. I would only change/improve two things. For me, a second protein at breakfast, maybe peeled hard boiled eggs. Looked like enough room in the refrigerator. For others,accessible entrance to the first level rooms. Wayne Smith
We stopped by here to find a last minute room late at night after a different hotel messed up our reservation. There were no rooms available, but the night clerk Curtis took the time to help us call around to find another place to stay. We were so grateful to him for going above and beyond to help us out.
We came here on a visit to check out colleges, and this place was great. Very friendly staff, the property is well maintained, and the room was delightful. Comfortable, clean beds, great decor. We would stay here again.
