We've done lots of B&B's over the years, and this is a really good one. The best of breed, you might say. A really architecturally interesting house, beautifully restored (or maintained...we argued about whether the incredible bathroom in Scarlet's Room could possibly be original 1940's or was a drop-dead reproduction. Either way, a stunner.) And the breakfast was to die... More

The Ware St Inn is the best kind of B&B: a private place to stay yet still a friendly home. The location is ideal, the room we chose very comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. More

My daughter and I stayed at the Ware Inn during a recent visit to Bates College. The atmosphere was casual, and comfortable. I can't say we found the staff very friendly or overly helpful. Of all the B&B's I've stayed in around the world, this one would get an average rating. More

We finally enjoyed the Ware Street Inn experience after a number of stays in Lewiston, at the more predictable hotels nearby. The atmosphere at the Inn is comfortable, casual yet elegant. Breakfast was delicious. The location, should you be visiting Bates College, is ideal - literally across the street from the campus. Recommended with no reservations whatsoever. More

Everything about Ware Street Inn was perfect down to the last detail: the decor, the comfortable bed, the exquisitely delicious food, the aroma of coffee wafting through the house in the morning, the gracious and informative hostess. I'd go back there again in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation! More

I was visiting Bates with my HS senior son, and we were recommended here by Bates. My son stayed in the dorms, and I stayed by myself in the beautiful inn. I felt very taken care of and loved the restaurant suggestions and help with information about the area. So convenient to Bates, and the upkeep on the inn is... More

My husband and I just stayed at the Ware Street Inn for two nights, visiting our grandson who is a freshman at Bates, and we couldn't have found a better place! It was on the list provided to Bates' parents, and is unbelievably convenient to the campus. We walked in the evening to a concert at the Olin Arts Center,... More

Stayed at the Ware Street In while visiting Bates with my twin HS seniors. What a warm and welcoming inn, and so convenient to the school. We stayed in the Scarlet Room, which was very comfortable for the three of us. Lovely, gracious owners, and a breakfast that can't be beat! More

Lovely 1940s home in residential neighborhood, renovated with charming rooms. Very clean and comfortable. Gracious innkeeper. Across the street from Bates. Fabulous breakfast. Wifi. Everything as promised on website and by other reviewers. Would definitely stay here again. More
